Gold Coast SUNS vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview

Gold Coast’s finals hopes face another important test when Hawthorn heads to People First Stadium on Friday night. The Suns have slipped outside the top eight after three straight defeats, including a 45-point loss to Geelong last week, and will be desperate to halt their slide before it becomes more damaging. Off-field speculation surrounding key forwards Ben King and Jed Walter has added another layer of intrigue during a difficult period. Hawthorn returns refreshed from the bye after narrowly falling to the Western Bulldogs in its previous outing. The Hawks were convincing winners when these sides met earlier this season, claiming a 49-point victory in Tasmania behind five goals from Jack Gunston. With both clubs chasing September football, this shapes as a pivotal contest for their finals aspirations.
