Hawthorn and Brisbane are poised for a pivotal Round 11 clash at the MCG today at 4:15 PM AEST.

The Hawks, currently fourth on the ladder, aim to rebound from a narrow loss to Gold Coast, while the second-placed Lions seek to recover after a defeat by Melbourne.

Hawthorn has dominated recent encounters, winning the last five matches against Brisbane. The Hawks will be bolstered by the return of key players, including Jarman Impey and Conor Nash. 

Brisbane, despite improved performances at the MCG in recent times, faces a challenging task against a confident Hawthorn side. 

This match is part of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round, celebrating Indigenous culture and contributions to the AFL.
