The win over the Lions yielded plenty of interesting facts and figures ...

* The Pies have now won eight of their past nine games against the Brisbane Lions. The only loss came at the MCG in round 21, 2014.

* Brayden Sier performed brilliantly in the midfield on Saturday night, amassing a career-high 27 disposals in what was just his sixth AFL match. His previous best was 23 against the Swans the previous week. Could Sier earn himself a late-season nomination for the rising star award? We wait and see.

* The favourite for the rising star award, Jaidyn Stephenson, also finished with a career-high tally for disposals (25). On top of that, he booted two goals and sent the Pies inside 50 on five occasions.
