Hawthorn Hawks vs North Melborune Kangaroos Preview
The Hawks are surging into finals, determined to secure a strong Elimination Final spot. Their explosive starts, like last week’s 57-7 blitz, have left opponents reeling. North Melbourne, on the other hand, was dismantled by the Bulldogs, showing little of the progress they made earlier in the season.
It’s a remarkable turnaround from Round 6 when these teams were battling to avoid the wooden spoon. Since then, the Hawks have won 13 of 17 games, with only two narrow losses.
A win guarantees Hawthorn a finals berth, likely finishing sixth or seventh, setting up a clash with the Bulldogs or Carlton. Their aggressive forward play and dominance at UTAS Stadium make them tough to beat.
While the Roos might experiment in their final game, the Hawks’ momentum and determination mean they are unlikely to be stopped as they push toward finals.
