Hawthorn vs Carlton Preview
Finals hopes are on the line when Hawthorn hosts Carlton at the MCG on Thursday night, with both clubs jostling for position in a logjammed race to September. The Hawks have surged into form, winning five of their past six, including a dominant 38-point win over Port Adelaide last weekend in wet Launceston. Dylan Moore starred with 32 disposals and two goals, continuing his influential run. Carlton, meanwhile, snapped a four-game skid with a gritty win over Melbourne, with Ashton Moir’s four goals and Matt Carroll’s intercept work proving decisive. When these sides last met in Round 2, Hawthorn pulled away late to notch a 20-point victory. With both teams sitting on 48 points and the Hawks facing a brutal run home, Thursday night looms as pivotal in shaping the top-eight picture.
