North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview
The first of only two games on Sunday takes place at Marvel Stadium in a game without a heap of implications.
North Melbourne sit only one game clear of West Coast who are in last place and they can avoid the wooden spoon with a win here.
Spirits were high at Arden street after they won their first two games of the season but North has now last their last 14 straight.
They have however, covered the line in their last seven at Marvel Stadium.
Hawthorn put together a nice run of form when winning three of four but they remain in 16th position thanks to three losses on the trot.
Defence has been a huge problem for North in recent weeks and they simply allow to many points coming back the other way.
