Hawthorn v Sydney Preview

A perfect response from Sam Mitchell’s team last week, belting North Melbourne to record their first win of the season. Poor a week earlier against Gold Coast, the Hawks showed their future is bright as their midfield rose to the challenge set for them by Mitchell. But seven days after beating the potential wooden spooner, Hawthorn will host a premiership contender. The Swans were only briefly challenged against the Suns, cantering to a percentage-boosting win. Brodie Grundy is starring in his first season at his third club, with the Swans still to welcome back elite midfielders Luke Parker and Callum Mills.

TIP: Sydney by 21 points, Logan McDonald to kick two or more goals
