The only match on Easter Monday is between Geelong Cats and Hawthorn Hawks. The game will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground with the opening bounce being at 3:10pm local time. The last time the two teams played Geelong won the match by 31 points in the second qualifying final last year. Hawthorn are coming off an impressive win over Collingwood whilst Geelong were disappointing in their loss to Fremantle.
Round 1 saw a very good Hawthorn team beat the 2011 AFL Grand Final runner up ‘Collingwood’ by twenty two points whilst Geelong Cats lost away from home to Fremantle by four points in a very close match.
Hawthorn head into the game as favourites but a lot of people expect Geelong to bounce back from their first round loss with a much improved match in what looks to be a great game to end the Easter long weekend.
