GWS Giants vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview

This clash promises to be a thrilling encounter with the Hawks in top form and the Giants making a strong push for September. In their first meeting this year, Hawthorn edged out GWS by a goal in Tassie, showcasing their ability to finish strongly inside 50 despite being outplayed in the midfield.

Hawthorn has since evolved into a formidable attacking force, with recent scores of 124 and 133 and a remarkable eight multiple goal scorers last week. Meanwhile, the Giants, though successful, have shown periods of vulnerability and rely heavily on capitalising on forward opportunities.

GWS’s strength lies in contest dominance, as the Hawks’ pressure is among the lowest in the league. The last encounter at Manuka saw Hawthorn deliver a 56-point victory in snowy conditions, giving them a perfect record at the venue.

With less pressure and a potent attack, Hawthorn looks well-positioned to continue their impressive run and pose a significant challenge to the Giants.
