Preview:
For the first time in a long time, Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson finds himself at a crossroads.
The Hawks were always a question mark entering the 2019 season, and with just three wins from seven games, suddenly Hawthorn look to be facing a serious rebuild as they head towards the bottom four.
Last week’s loss to the Demons summed up the current state of the club. Hawthorn fell by an agonizing five points, but after losing the contested possession and disposal battles by a wide margin, it’s no wonder why.
For the Giants, it’s all smooth sailing. GWS manhandled St. Kilda in Canberra last week, while the age of Jeremy Cameron finally looks to be upon us.
The Hawks haven’t defeated the Giants since 2014, while GWS also hold an impressive 4-0 record as the away favourite over the last 12 months. Unfortunately, they do need to shake the Melbourne monkey off their back, with Hawthorn’s back line in disarray, a fast start for the Giants could put the game out of reach early.
