Hawthorn Hawks vs Melbourne Demons Preview

The Demons aim to capitalize on their impressive 43-point victory over the Bulldogs as they face the Hawks on Saturday afternoon.

Melbourne’s forward line remains under scrutiny, but Jacob van Rooyen and Ben Brown’s contributions last week eased some concerns.

Max Gawn’s return to All-Australian form and Clayton Oliver’s midfield prowess further bolster the team’s confidence.

Despite a three-goal loss, Hawthorn displayed promise amid numerous absences in their defeat to the Bombers.

While their aggressive attacking style persisted, defensive lapses proved costly.

With James Sicily suspended and key players sidelined due to injury, Hawthorn’s depth is tested.

Although a better kicking accuracy could have altered last week’s outcome, struggles in the ruck and stoppages may lead to further frustration for the brown and gold faithful.
