Hawthorn Hawks vs Western Bulldogs Preview

The Hawks head south to the Apple Isle beaming with confidence after winning their grand final last week against top-of-the-table Collingwood.

Anthony Hudson said it best when he described the Hawks as “simply stunning” at the final siren, the Hawks dominating through the centre and punishing the Pies on the scoreboard with their unsocial, aggressive brand of footy.

For a team that was favoured to win the wooden spoon, the Hawks now own a pair of wins over current top four sides – a worrying sign for a Bulldogs team up next on their war path.

As it stands, the Dogs occupy sixth on the ladder, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to get a read on Luke Beveridge’s club.

Two wins from their last five stands out on paper, made even more glaring by the fact both victories came against out-of-form Essendon and Richmond.

Not to sound like a broken record, but kicking straight is the deciding factor for the Dogs.

When they’re accurate, they can pile on points in a hurry – just ask the Tigers. But if they have another difficult time finding accuracy, the Hawks are more than capable of making them pay.

With some rain about on Saturday in Launceston, and a low of just 1-degree expected, this could be a difficult day for the Dogs in their return to Tassie.
