Geelong Cats vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview

It’s been a rocky start to the season for the Cats, who will be looking for their first win of the year when they take on the Hawks on Easter Monday. It’s an unusual position for the reigning premiers, who have struggled to find their groove in the opening three rounds.

The team’s captain, Patrick Dangerfield, has faced criticism for his leadership, and the midfield has been lacking in play and effort. Tom Hawkins, who has been a reliable forward for the Cats, has also struggled to find form.

The Hawks, on the other hand, showed some signs of life last week with a win over North Melbourne. Tyler Brockman returned from injury with three goals, while new coach Sam Mitchell made a strong impression against his former boss, Alastair Clarkson.

However, the Hawks are missing some key leaders this year, which could hurt them on the big stage against a talented Geelong midfield. The Cats have also struggled in the contested possession count, but they will be determined to turn their fortunes around in this classic Easter Monday clash.

With the Hawks’ aggressive style of play and the history between these two clubs, this game is sure to be a closely-fought battle. But with Geelong’s talent and experience, they should be able to come away with the win and get their season back on track.
