The Pies led at every change last week at the SCG and lessened the pressure on coach Nathan Buckley following a week of scrutiny.

Meanwhile the Saints struggled to put the Lions away but did so with a strong final quarter performance - a change in tune from their opening two matches where they have faltered spectacularly after half time.

Saints by 7.
