Hawthorn Hawks vs Geelong Cats Preview
Massive, massive Easter Monday game between Hawthorn and Geelong.
Hawthorn were demolished by St Kilda last week but after a good start to the season they will be looking to bounce back.
Geelong are travelling pretty well and had a good win over the Lions last week.
Geelong deserve to be the clear favourites heading into this game but given the history and rivalry between the two sides this is a danger game.
