Hawthorn Hawks vs Sydney Swans Preview
The Hawks find themselves inside the top eight after a gutsy win over their long time rivals Geelong on Easter Monday.
Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell will be happy with that win but ecstatic that they beat the Cats in some key components of the game.
Despite losing their number ruck during the game they managed to break even in total clearances (centre and stoppages) which is no easy feat against the Cats who are contested ball winners.
James Sicily was enormous in defence taking 15 marks and gathering 26 touches.
The Swans sit 5th through five rounds and were just too good for a depleted West Coast side last weekend.
The McCartin brothers have been rock solid in defence and sit 4th (Paddy) and 7th (Tom) in the competition for intercept marks.
The gap between Hawthorn’s best and worst can be large at times but they pose a big threat down in Tasmania if they bring the same contested football as they did last week.
Seven of the last nine matches between Hawthorn and Sydney have been decided by a margin of 15 points or less.
