Sydney Swans vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview
The Swans sent the rest of the league a strong statement with a 49-point belting over the Suns last week: they are still very, very good.
If last the second half of last week’s game against the Bombers was anything to go by, Sydney fans could be in for another percentage this week against a young Hawthorn side still trying to figure things out.
There was plenty to like about the opening two quarters from the Hawks, right up until their back line fell into disarray in the second half.
Finger pointing and Bomber forwards roaming free became a common theme, a worrying sign with the Swans boasting one of the deepest and toughest forwards line the competition.
Superstar Buddy Franklin is set to miss what might be his final game against his former side after copping a one-match ban for a bump on Suns defender Sam Collins.
Even so, Tom Papley, Issac Heeney, and Errol Gulden are capable of shouldering the load, while the midfield looks as dangerous as ever with Chad Warner amassing 30 disposals last week.
In the Hawthorn forward line, things look much more bleak.
The Hawks clearly lacked targets and direction inside 50 last week, a recipe for disaster against a Swans side that tends to feast on turnovers.
This is a massive line for a Round 2 game, but at home with a point still to prove, the Swans should win big.
