Brisbane Lions vs Hawthorn Preview
Brisbane and Hawthorn collide at the Gabba on Sunday evening in a showdown that could shape the top-four race. The Lions answered their critics last week with a commanding 101-44 demolition of Fremantle, driven by Zac Bailey’s stellar display of 28 disposals, 10 score involvements, and two goals.
Hawthorn was equally impressive in Round 22, dismantling Melbourne by 36 points on the back of Dylan Moore’s midfield dominance and a vintage seven-goal masterclass from Jack Gunston.
Their last meeting came in Round 11, when Brisbane secured a 93-60 victory at the MCG, with Lachie Neale racking up 32 touches. This time, the Lions will be without their Brownlow medallist due to a quad injury, while Eric Hipwood is sidelined with a calf strain.
With both sides surging into form and finals intensity looming, expect a high-stakes contest under the Gabba lights.
