THE BUILD-UP
Hawthorn has slowly worked its way back into the top eight.
The Hawks have won four of their last five to slip quietly into eighth place.
But they know better than most not to take the Lions lightly; Brisbane smashed the Hawks when they met in Round 9.
Many of us have long suspected the Lions were better than their ladder position, and their last fortnight has proven such, with big wins over Fremantle and Carlton.
Can the Lions keep their winning run going? Or will the Hawks continue their rise up the ladder?
