Three-time All-Australian Nick Dal Santo has doubled down on his view that Brisbane won’t win this year’s premiership.

The Lions sat briefly at the top of the ladder after winning their eighth straight match courtesy of a 91-point thumping of rivals Gold Coast in the QClash on Saturday.

A win over league leaders Geelong on Saturday would go a long way to clinching a top two spot and an all-important home qualifying final at the Gabba.

But Dal Santo can’t see Chris Fagan’s side getting past either Richmond or reigning premiers West Coast on Grand Final day.

“I don’t think they will (win the premiership). My opinion on it hasn’t changed,” the former Saint told SEN Afternoons.

“If they make the Grand Final against Richmond, I’m still tipping Richmond, I think they win.

“If they’re in the Grand Final against the West Coast Eagles, I’m still tipping the West Coast Eagles.

“That is why I don’t think they will win it this year.”

Brisbane finish their home and away campaign against the Cats at the Gabba and Richmond at the MCG.

The Lions last tasted premiership glory in 2003 - the final part of the club's three-peat of flags.
