Preview:
The once proud and mighty Hawks continue to tumble down the ladder after slumping to their third straight loss last week.
Hawthorn’s ugly inside 50 entries cost them dearly against the Swans, and with the reigning premiers coming to town, it’s hard to find any confidence in the brown and gold.
West Coast did it ugly last week at home, but a 35-point win over the Bombers was enough to push them back inside the top four.
The Eagles will hold fond memories of their 15-point win over the Hawks at Marvel last year, while they’ll also hope to repeat their success at the MCG after defeating Collingwood by 22-points back in Round 3.
Hawthorn has won three of their last five games against West Coast, but it really feels as though the Eagles are starting to click. Last week’s scoreline doesn’t do the Eagles any justice as they won the clearances, inside 50 and tackle counts by a wide margin.
It’s basically now or never for the Hawks. Alastair Clarkson’s side now sits 12th on the ladder, two games shy of a place back inside the eight.
The last five games between these two sides have been decided by 15-points or more, and with a surprisingly slim line set, it’s worth backing the Eagles to Cover.
