FootyBets.aiFantasy Firepower on the Fast Track: Saints vs Lions DraftStars Guide
Saturday night footy under the roof at Docklands! St Kilda and the Brisbane Lions go head-to-head this Saturday, 28 March 2026, in a clash that promises a fast-paced, high-possession shootout. The Lions' powerhouse midfield will be tested against the Saints' disciplined two-way running, creating the perfect storm for massive daily fantasy scores.
Our FootyBets.ai algorithm has crunched the numbers, and five absolute fantasy beasts are locked into 100% of our optimal lineups. Here’s why they are going to rack up the points:
- Rowan Marshall (St Kilda): 'Ro' is a fantasy cheat code. He doesn't just dominate the hitout battle; he plays like an extra midfielder. Expect massive around-the-ground numbers through disposals, intercept marks, and repeat tackles.
- Lachie Neale (Brisbane Lions): Death, taxes, and Lachie Neale finding the Sherrin. The co-captain is a lock for 30+ disposals, and his contested possession and clearance work under the roof will ensure a monster ceiling.
- Keidean Coleman (Brisbane Lions): The ultimate defensive distributor. The fast Docklands deck perfectly suits 'Kiddy', ensuring a steady stream of rebound 50s, elite effective kicks, and uncontested marks across half-back.
- Jarrod Berry (Brisbane Lions) & Hugo Garcia (St Kilda): Both are absolute workhorses who feast on stoppage ball. Berry’s two-way running and tackling pressure guarantee a high floor, while the young Saint Garcia is primed to rack up the tackles and inside 50s in a breakout midfield role.
Position-by-Position Quick Tips
- RUC: Lock in Rowan Marshall and throw away the key. He’s the undisputed top dog in the ruck contests tonight.
- DEF: Keidean Coleman is the core anchor, but don't sleep on Darcy Wilmot—he appears in 60% of our optimal builds and offers brilliant run-and-carry upside.
- MID: Neale, Berry, and Garcia are the holy trinity for this slate. If you need a point of difference, look to Bradley Hill to rack up uncontested possessions on the wing.
- FWD: Lincoln McCarthy is heavily favoured by our AI (in 9/10 lineups). He relies on elite forward-half tackling pressure and scoreboard impact to quickly boost his tally.
