Preview:
Hawthorn play Richmond on Saturday, 2.10pm at the MCG. While both of these teams possess great attacking players, the Hawks will be expected to take the points
here. They will have to do something about Jack Riewoldt, however, who scored six goals in Richmond’s massive 62-point win over Hawthorn last season. While the
Tigers are very much outsiders to win here, they are in with a shot and Hawthorn will have to be on top of their game if they want to avoid another shock defeat.

Clarkson escapes penalty from verbal clash
AFL Victoria will take no action against Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson for abusing two Port Melbourne players during Saturday’s VFL clash with the Box Hill Hawks.
The Hawks were asked to explain Clarkson’s quarter-time verbal clash, with AFL Victoria announcing they were satisfied with the response and the coach’s proactive approach.
Clarkson had already phoned the players, Toby Pinwill and John Baird, to apologise.
“Alastair acknowledged his actions were inappropriate, has expressed his regret at the situation and apologised to the VFL for the incident,” AFL Victoria said in a statement.
Clarkson was reportedly upset by an off-the-ball incident involving Box Hill skipper Sam Iles and Pinwill.
Last year, Clarkson was banned by the South Metro Junior Football League for four matches after abusing an umpire’s adviser during his son’s under-9s match.
That happened a day after he punched a hole in the wall of the coaches’ box at the MCG during a Hawthorn game.
