Football’s most gripping modern-day rivalry resumes on Easter Monday, with Geelong looking to extend a nine-game streak over its 2008 Grand Final conqueror. Hawthorn plays each of last year’s finalists over the first seven rounds, and will be desperate to make a winning start. However, buoyed by developing youngsters and new recruits, and coming off a strong NAB Cup campaign, the Cats will be confident of inflicting yet more pain on their brown and gold foes.
