Hawthorn Hawks vs Brisbane Lions Preview
The Brisbane Lions sit in fourth spot through 12 rounds with a game in hand over the three teams above them.
They are on the second line of betting for the 2023 AFL Premiership and have set themselves up well for the season half of the season.
A failed road trip to Adelaide against the Crows before the bye was not ideal but they get a good opportunity to bounce back against a very inconsistent Hawthorn team.
The Hawks rely on too few players, which is the sign of a young team that is learning their trade.
James Sicily was enormous in the Hawks win over St Kilda but was subsequently suspended and they certainly missed him last week against Port.
Mitch Lewis kicked six against the Eagles the week before but if one or two of these players have an off day, the Hawks can struggle and leak points at an alarming rate.
Brisbane simply have too many avenues to go and the likes of Charlie Cameron, Joe Daniher, Eric Hipwood, Zac Bailey and Jack Gunston will cause too many headaches for Hawthorn defence’s even with the return of their captain Sicily..
