Gold Coast Suns vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview
The Hawks head north to Queensland hoping to build on a fiery final term against Collingwood last Sunday.
Hawthorn nearly pinched a win from the jaws of defeat over the final minutes, an encouraging performance after trailing by 30+ points at the main break.
The Suns, on the other hand, have come crashing back to earth with a pair of losses on the road the first against the Dogs in Ballarat two weeks ago, and the second against GWS.
To be fair, Gold Coast only weakened late against a much sharper and talented Giants outfit last Saturday, but its becoming more and more clear that they may not have the pressure or the options up forward to compete with some of the heavyweights.
Fortunately, a game against winless Hawthorn is closer to their level, a club that hasnt won on the Gold Coast since 2014.
Mabior Chol going up against his old side will be a fun storyline to follow in this game, but with so many big names still on the sideline, it feels like the Hawks might still lack the polish in front of goal to pull off an upset.
