West Coast Eagles vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview

Hawthorn can lock away a top-four finish with victory after its 92-92 draw against Collingwood left it vulnerable to the chasing pack. The Hawks are close to full strength and have every reason to play aggressively, with a large win potentially improving their position depending on Brisbane’s result. West Coast fell 111-57 to GWS last week and carries a 10-match losing streak into its final home appearance. Hawthorn has won the past four meetings, including a 124-74 result in Round 7 last season, and its pressure has repeatedly troubled lower-ranked opponents. Jake Waterman remains a genuine focal point for the Eagles after kicking at least three goals in seven straight home appearances, but he will need sustained supply. Hawthorn’s depth, speed and finals urgency point to a comfortable victory.
