LIONS ‘GOT MOJO BACK’, SO CAN THEY STILL PLAY FINALS?

Brisbane Lions have reinvigorated their season and finals aspirations with an impressive 42-point victory over the Western Bulldogs, led by Eric Hipwood’s outstanding six-goal performance.

After a lackluster start to the season, the Lions showed glimpses of their 2023 form, which saw them reach the grand final. Despite facing doubts, there is renewed optimism for their 2024 campaign.

Former Hawthorn player Ben Dixon highlighted the significance of the win, emphasizing that despite their current position, the Lions are only three wins away from second place, making them legitimate contenders in an unpredictable season.

With a strong performance against the Bulldogs, Brisbane has positioned itself within reach of the top four, especially considering the open nature of this year’s premiership race.

The remaining fixtures offer opportunities for the Lions to capitalize on their recent momentum, particularly with six out of their last ten games at their fortress, the Gabba.

The resurgence of the Lions is seen as a positive sign for coach Chris Fagan and captain Lachie Neale, providing confidence and hope for a successful finish to the season.

Triple premiership winner Jonathan Brown echoed the sentiment, suggesting that Brisbane’s return to form is a daunting prospect for other AFL teams.

Despite the tough road ahead, including several key matchups, there is belief that the Lions can mount a late surge for a finals berth.

…BUT ARE THE HAWKS AN EVEN BETTER CHANCE OF MAKING IT?

Hawthorn’s turnaround from a winless start to the season has been remarkable, with the team winning five of their last six matches, including impressive victories against strong opponents.

Although it seemed unlikely initially, the Hawks are now within striking distance of a finals berth, fueled by their recent form and the unpredictable nature of this year’s competition.

Coach Sam Mitchell’s positive outlook after their loss to Sydney in late April has been validated by their subsequent performances, highlighting the team’s resilience and determination.

Their upcoming fixtures offer opportunities to continue their winning streak, with several winnable games against lower-ranked teams.

Despite their poor start and challenging road ahead, the Hawks are considered legitimate contenders for a finals spot, provided they maintain their current form and capitalize on favorable matchups.

While Brisbane may have the edge in terms of their current position and track record, Hawthorn’s resurgence makes them a formidable opponent, capable of causing upsets and challenging for a finals berth.
