THE SPICIEST match-up in the AFLW meets again on Sunday afternoon, with Brisbane hosts Hawthorn at Brighton Homes Arena.

Tensions boiled over the last time these two sides met, and hostilities are set to resume as the Lions look to avenge last year's Grand Final loss.

The Hawks made tremendous progress last year under Daniel Webster and will be keen to make another statement in 2025.

Hawthorn has made a late change with Aileen Gilroy replaced in its selected side by Keely Coyne.
