It's two goals in a minute for the Lions!

Following the centre bounce, Oscar McInerney ghosts into the forward line and takes a mark that's virtually uncontested 35m out directly in front.

McInerney drills the set shot and it's a great start now this for the Lions.

We've got out first goal of the afternoon and it's come at the nine-minute mark of the first term.

The ball is sent inside 50 and Joe Daniher is one out with Sam Taylor and the ball gets out the back.

Daniher wins the footrace and soccers it through.

The Lions having plenty of the footy early, they've got 35 disposals to 24 and have five inside 50s to one.

Aaron Cadman thinks he's kicked one of the goals of the season, but the ARC rules that the ball has juuust clipped the inside of the right goalpost.

We're still waiting for the first goal of the afternoon. Brisbane will feel like they should have kicked it, but Joe Daniher missed an easy set shot from 30m out directly in front.

Dayne Zorko already up to four touches for Brisbane.

GWS has wasted no time by sending their tagger Toby Bedford straight to Lachie Neale.

In the Lions' defence, Harris Andrews is trying to mark Coleman Medal leader Jesse Hogan.

What a match-up that one will be!

Brandon Starcevich is shadowing Giants skipper Toby Greene.

Stars everywhere out there.

We're off and running in the first two of five matches on Saturday's AFL slate.
