Hawthorn Hawks vs Melbourne Demons Preview

Too old and too slow, that’s been the talk about the Hawks over the last fortnight.

Hawthorn faces a must-win game on Sunday after suffering back-to-back losses to GWS and Collingwood, and as the odds suggest, a win here against Melbourne is far from a guarantee.

The Dees were up and about last week in their 17-point win over the Suns – Melbourne’s first victory since the restart.

It’s tough to read too much into a win over the understrength Suns, but it was still a result Simon Goodwin’s men can build on moving forward.

Working in Melbourne’s favour this week is their list. The Dees come in relatively unscathed following their game against the Suns, while the Hawks are licking their wounds in a big way with Jonathon Patton re-injuring his hamstring last Friday night.

Luke Breust is also two weeks away from a return, while Mitch Lewis is 50/50 to play with a hip injury.

When you throw in the fact the Dees have won their last two games against the Hawks and have also covered in four of their last six as the line underdog, suddenly Melbourne doesn’t look a bad bet.
