Hawthorn vs Melbourne Preview

Hawthorn head in as underdogs for the Round 2 clash and come off a 24-point loss to Essendon in Round 1. The Hawks were inaccurate in front of goal, which hurt them in the end. They were also badly beaten at the centre clearances and will need to work on that at training during the week.

They come up against a Melbourne midfield unit that were on fire in the Demons’ Round 1 win over the Western Bulldogs. Clayton Oliver and Christian Petracca combined for 64 disposals, while Max Gawn was dominant in the ruck with 35 hitouts and 26 disposals of his own.

The Hawks received some good news early in the week with their captain, James Sicily, having his kicking charge downgraded at the AFL tribunal, meaning that he can play this weekend. His presence is crucial to their already undermanned backline. But even with the intercept defender, Sam Mitchell’s side will find this hard.
