This shapes up as a cracking contest that should go right down to the wire.
The Giants and Hawks have a history of thrillers, with their last four meetings decided by 2, 6, 3, and 2 points.
Hawthorn’s record at UTAS is outstanding, covering the line in their last eight games there. However, their form through three rounds has been overrated by the market. Expected score had Carlton winning last week, Essendon’s Round 1 defence was horrific and the jury remains out on Sydney in 2025.
The Giants started the season by blowing Collingwood away, followed by a scrappy win over Melbourne before their bye. This week, they get a massive boost with Briggs, Hogan and Stringer all set to play, leaving Adam Kingsley with close to a full-strength squad.
The best play here? Back another nailbiter between these two quality sides.
Same Game Multi
Nick Watson has kicked 3+ in the Hawks’ last four home games while Jesse Hogan’s odds look a little inflated for his first game of 2025.
Finn Callaghan has started this season brilliantly. He’s had 25+ in five of his last six, while Jai Newcombe has had 25+ in four straight.
Value Bet
Great value to for the reigning Coleman Medalist to start with a bang. Yes, the Hawks have brought in Battle and Barrass but they really haven’t been tested by the limited key forwards of Sydney and Essendon, plus an underdone Charlie Curnow last week. Hogan has kicked 3+ in nine of his last ten games.
