Hawthorn vs Brisbane Lions Tips
The Lions haven’t beaten Hawthorn since 2019 with Brisbane losing the last three in a row. The last two were in Launceston and I think the Hawks can use that to their advantage.

Hawthorn Hawks Form
The Hawthorn Hawks saw their winning run come to an end when being put to the sword by Port Adelaide last week in a 151-96 defeat.
It was still a decent enough performance going forward and followed victories over West Coast Eagles and the St Kilda Saints with Hawthorn posting 142 and 88 points respectively in those wins.
The Hawks had lost six in a row before those two wins.

Brisbane Lions saw a seven-game winning run come to an end in disappointing fashion last week when beaten 95-78 by the Adelaide Crows.
The Lions has been in rampant form, putting on more than a century of points in wins over Collingwood, North Melbourne, GWS Giants, Fremantle Dockers, Carlton and Gold Coast Suns.
In the other of their seven wins, the Lions dispatched Essendon Bombers by 42 points in a low-scoring affair.
