Hawthorn Hawks vs Brisbane Lions Preview
Lions head coach Chris Fagan will be stressing the importance of starting this week’s game on time.
Brisbane trailed the Crows at half-time last week before roaring home to a 36-point victory, their eighth win of the season.
Charlie Cameron and Lachie Neale were enormous down the stretch, but a similar slow start could prove costly against a feisty Hawthorn team that typically plays its best footy down in Tassie.
The Hawks have now lost four in a row, but last week’s scoreline against Richmond really didn’t do them justice.
Hawthorn pushed the Tigers for most of the game, even trimming the margin to 10 points with a few minutes to play.
Unfortunately, the loss hurt in more ways than one with key forward Jack Gunston suffering another injury setback that looks likely to cost him multiple weeks.
On paper, the Hawks could really put a scare into Brisbane, but the Lions should win if they can take full advantage of Hawthorn’s undermanned ruck.
Brisbane has been one of the best teams around the stoppages this year, while they’ve also held Hawthorn’s number winning four of their last six meetings.
