St Kilda Saints vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview

Having reclaimed a spot in the top four, Hawthorn will look to strengthen its position against St Kilda at Marvel Stadium on Thursday night. The Hawks got back on the winners list last Thursday with a gritty nine-point win over Adelaide in Launceston, marking 12 straight victories in Tasmania. Nick Watson was typically dynamic with ball in hand, generating 11 scores from just 12 disposals, while Blake Hardwick relished his rare stint up forward, booting four majors. Meanwhile, St Kilda threatened to upset ladder-leading Fremantle at Optus Stadium before fading late in a 104-74 defeat after conceding a run of six unanswered goals in the final term. The loss sees St Kilda fall out of the top 10, sitting alongside GWS and North Melbourne on five wins. These sides met at Marvel Stadium in Round 17 last season, with Hawthorn claiming a 94-74 victory despite a brilliant 43-disposal performance from Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera (out).
