Hawthorn Hawks vs Brisbane Lions Preview
The mighty Brisbane Lions (proudly sponsored by Neds) head down to Tassie to take on the Hawks this Sunday and open the betting as the red hot $1.15 favorites.
It was very much a game of two halves last week when after trailing the Suns by 27 points at half-time, the Lions came out all guns blazing to register a 49-point win.
If the Lions are able to maintain that level of footy we saw in the second half for four quarters last week, the Hawks could be in for a world of pain.
Hawthorn could be bottom of the ladder at the end of this week and the constant innuendo about the coaching succession plan for Clarko and Sam Mitchell just won’t go away.
Backing the Hawks in Tassie used to be one of the most reliable bets one could make, but with the Lions needing to chalk up the wins to ensure a top-four spot you can expect our boys to be ruthless.
Take the Brisbane Lions (proudly sponsored by Neds) at 40+ points.
