Preview:
It’s only Round 10, but this feels like a vitally important game if the Hawks hold any hopes of playing finals this year.
Alastair Clarkson’s side went down by 36-points to the Tigers last week in a game dominated by Dustin Martin. The Hawks now head home to their Tasmanian fortress in Launceston, but as we saw last month against Carlton, the brown and gold are still vulnerable down south.
Port haven’t had long to celebrate rejoining the top eight, but their 38-point win over the Suns last week at least keeps critics at bay for another week.
Unfortunately for the Power, they too drew the short straw when they visited the Hawks in Tassie last year. Ken Hinkley’s side lost by three-points in a Round 11 thriller – extending the Power’s record in Tasmania to 0-4.
The Hawks have opened as the favourites with home-field advantage this week, and it’s certainly hard to look past their 4-1 record in this scenario against the Power. Even so, Port are 2-0 as the line underdog against the Hawks, and with Ben McEvoy under some doubt with an ankle injury, the Power look good value to win the ruck contest and more importantly, the game.
