West Coast Eagles vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview
The Eagles have a chance to make it seven in a row on Sunday when they take on a Hawthorn side reeling from last week’s disappointing result against Fremantle.
The Eagles are absolutely flying right now as they continue to dominate in front of their home fans and it is no surprise to find them as the favourites to win the Premiership.
West Coast could potentially move as high as second on the ladder if results go their way, and they shouldn’t be short on motivation after losing to the Hawks 105-67 at home back in Round 23 last year.
Hawthorn received an added boost, or should we say Breust, last week, but that still wasn’t enough to spark the Hawks to life.
Alastair Clarkson’s side was smashed in the disposal and contested possession counts against the Dockers, while their measly four goals paint a grim picture against one of the league’s top goal-kicking teams this week.
With key leader Isaac Smith picking up a shoulder injury against Freo, all signs point towards a big West Coast win.
