Preview:
Two goliaths of the past decade square off in their traditional Easter Monday game when Hawthorn plays Geelong. The Cats were handed their first loss last weekend, downed by the Giants at home. It was a rare loss for the Cats at GMHBA Stadium, but they will be well rested and focused for a match against rivals Hawthorn. The Hawks’ inconsistency was on display again last round, falling to the Saints by five points, despite leading at every change. They have gone win, loss, win, loss to start the year, but The Wolf thinks that sequence will come to an end on Monday. The Cats have taken 4 of 6 against the Hawks, but the brown and golds have won the past two. The Cats’ engine room might be the difference on Monday, with Jaeger O’Meara an injury doubt and new players Chad Wingard and Tom Scully yet to gel with their teammates just yet. That will come no doubt, but the Cats are the more consistent and polished side and will make it 4 wins from 5 starts.
