Mitch Owens has booted a goal for the Saints, just when the Lions looked to be on a run.

The home fans loved it, so did the Saints.

Lions 56, Saints 51 with 12 mins to go in Q3.

Zac Bailey has nailed Jack Sinclair in a tackle in the goal square, winning a free kick and booting the goal.

Bailey has again been in the headlines this week as teams prepare bumper offers for him this off-season, he’s shown his quality on that play.

Lions 56, Saints 45 with 13 mins to go in Q3.

Jarrod Berry flew for a mark and was collected in the head.

He pulled in the mark and was 45m from goal but a 50m penalty was also applied for the high contact.

So Berry booted the goal from the square. The Saints fans booed but Berry was all smiles.

Lions 49, Saints 45 with 15 mins to go in Q3.

Cam Rayner has marked and goaled for the Lions as both sides find the big sticks early in the third term.

Remember when neither side could kick a goal in the first term? That’s long gone...for now.

Saints 45, Lions 43 with 15 mins to go in Q3.

Jack Higgins has responded for the Saints marking low in the forward pocket and then running around to snap the goal.

He loved that goal as well.

This match is heating up nicely.

Saints 45, Lions 37 with 17 mins to go in Q3.

Lions star Charlie Cameron took a mark in front of goal and converted from about 40m out.

The visitors couldn’t have asked for a better start - they’d love to get Charlie firing.

Saints 39, Lions 37 with 18 mins to go in Q3.

All eyes will be on the Lions and how they are defending Wanganeen-Milera in the second half.

He’s had 17 disposals despite having Jarrod Berry tagging him and other Lions trying to wear him down physically.

The two players squared off in a fiery clash late in the term with jumper punches exchanges although not fully connecting.

“They’ve been straight after Nas, not just Berry but all the Brisbane players,” Jack Riewoldt said on Fox Footy.

“He’s responded well, but he has to be careful as he gave away a free kick [in their scuffle].

“At the moment, I think Berry is winning this battle. It’s fiery and I don’t know if Nas is handling that.”

While the fans are firing up, Liam Ryan has continued his stellar term kicking his third goal of the match.

Of all the Saints recruits, his arrival has had the least attention but he’s filled a great hole for them.

His goals have them ahead at the break.

Wanganeen-Milera is a superstar for the Saints but the Lions fans are letting him have it today following his clash with Jarrod Berry earlier in the term.

This is a Saints home game but there are enough Lions fans here that you can clearly have them booing the Saints superstar when he gets the ball or runs down to full forward where the Lions cheer squad are based this term.
