The Hawks will then host the Lions from 5.15pm AEST on Saturday at the MCG.
The earlier start in Melbourne means, should the Lions win, they will be able to fly home on Saturday night instead of Sunday morning, aiding their preparation for the Toyota AFL Grand Final the following Saturday.
Tickets for both matches will go on sale on Monday.
