Hawthorn H2H
Head-to-Head

Punters are split on this clash between two finals hopefuls but the numbers lean Hawthorn’s way.

The Hawks have been strong on the road, covering in five of their last six interstate games and five of six interstate as underdogs.

They’ve also made a habit of handling teams below them on the ladder. Excluding matches against the top six, they’ve covered in 21 of their last 27, including each of their last five.

Fremantle’s midfield can look vulnerable when Caleb Serong is tagged, and Finn Maginness returns this week to do just that. In the past two rounds, Jordon and Windhager clamped down on Serong, with Sydney winning clearances by nine and St Kilda by 15.

Hawthorn are stronger at both ends of the ground than Sydney and St Kilda. If they can break even at the contest, it could be a tough night for the Dockers.

Fremantle will be without captain Alex Pearce, while the Hawks have recalled forward Calsher Dear.

Rain is expected throughout the day which may keep things tight but Hawthorn look the better bet.


Same Game Multi

Hawthorn H2H, J.Clark & A.Brayshaw 25+ Disposals, C.Macdonald Anytime Goal

The Hawks aren’t a great SGM team as they are incredibly even across the park. We’ll look to a pair of Dockers to rack up some touches.

Jordan Clark was kept quiet last week but has hit 25 in each of his last four before that, while Andrew Brayshaw has had 25+ in five of his last six at home.

Connor Macdonald has kicked seven in his last three games.


Value Bet

Jordan Clark
30+ Disposals

Half backs can rack up the touches against the Hawks. Wanganeen-Milera (43), Colby McKercher (34) and Bailey Dale (30) have all had big games over the last month. Jordan Clark was kept quiet last week but has hit 30 in three of his last five.
