Hawthorn Hawks vs West Coast Eagles Preview
This may be one of the more intriguing games of round 18.
These two teams have a combined seven wins so far this season but both are playing a good brand of football in recent weeks.
West Coast recorded their second win against the Bombers three weeks ago but have since lost to Richmond and Carlton despite being competitive.
Hawthorn returned to winning ways against Adelaide on the weekend with a 32 point win with star forward Mitch Lewis kicking five, first half goals.
Scoring has not been an issue for the Hawks this season with plenty of avenues to goal, and while I do think they will overwhelm the Eagles in the end, I think the end margin can be respectable.
