Rockliff’s form
In case you haven’t noticed (which means you probably don’t play fantasy football), Brisbane’s Tom Rockliff has been on an absolute tear in the past two months. ‘Rocky’ has got so much of the footy he’s been sent in for tests this week to see if he is suffering from leather poisoning. His incredible run actually began in round 14 against Freo, when he gathered 45 touches and laid 12 tackles. Since that game he has registered statistics of 28, 36, 47, 32, 40 and 43 disposals while averaging almost 10 tackles per game.

Does Crowley get Hanley or Rockliff?
Ryan Crowley tagged Pearce Hanley in the round 14 game against the Lions, which let Rockliff off the leash. It didn’t seem to matter to Freo as it cruised to a comfortable victory. Hanley has also been sensational this season, so he could get a second date with ‘Crowls’. He was kept to just nine touches in round 14 and he certainly expects to see Crowley again. "I can't wait," Hanley told lions.com.au of a possible rematch. "… I'm definitely looking to make amends this weekend. He's strong, he's fit, he's tough and he's diligent, and he gets a lot of help from his teammates, I found that out the last time I played on him. It's going to be tough." It will be interesting to see if ‘Rocky’s’ run of form forces Ross Lyon to shift the tag to him.

Danyle Pearce notches 200
He’s played 154 games with Port Adelaide and now 45 with Freo, so Danyle Pearce is in line to notch up AFL game 200 in Brisbane on Sunday. He has been a very good acquisition for Ross Lyon, playing in every game since joining the club. Only Pearce and Ryan Crowley have played every game since the start of the 2013 season.

The inside 50 record
In wet conditions in round 14 this season, Freo restricted the Lions to just 17 entries inside 50 – which was the lowest-ever since Champion Data has recorded the statistic. Brisbane kicked three goals on that night and will need to find a way to get the ball inside its attacking 50m arc more at the Gabba on Sunday.
