Can Brisbane, who produced one of the efforts and upsets of the season last week when coming from 51 points down in the third quarter to beat Geelong 103 – 98, produce another upset here as they take on competition front-runners, Hawthorn?

Probably not given Hawks have won their last eleven games and that in the past three clashes between the two sides by 65, 42 and 75 points.

Prior to last week’s grand performance, Brisbane had lost five of their last six, and most of them by hefty margins.

They are 1-4 at the line when playing away this season and whilst they’ll be on a high, expect Hawthorn to bring them back down to earth.
