Show Preview
The Hawthorn Hawks take on the Collingwood Magpies in a Friday night MCG clash that doesn’t promise a heap, but could produce plenty. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog at 7:50pm (AEST) on Friday.
Having suffered a heartbreaking loss at the MCG last round, Hawthorn are currently languishing in 15th spot, with just five wins from 14 games.
The magic that once surrounded the Hawks is seemingly gone, and coach Clarkson has recognised that and is trying to inject something new and fresh into the team on a weekly basis.
Despite being in the ultimate position with just two minutes left, Hawthorn simply couldn’t finish the job against West Coast and it likely leaves the club devoid of confidence heading into another tough fixture.
From a Collingwood perspective, the past few matches have been anything but convincing.
Systematically destroyed by North Melbourne, the Magpies looked a shell of its former self and moved forward with aimless and reckless abandon.
For most of 2019, Collingwood has taken a leaf out of Richmond’s 2017 book, where the club has continuously tried different things tactically within games before “flicking the switch” in one quarter and securing victories.
Now, the Magpies look a little shaky and if anyone knows how to capitalise on a sniff of shakiness and indecision, it’s Alistair Clarkson.
Prediction
Surprisingly, Hawthorn has won 11 of its last 12 games against Collingwood and generally matches up solidly.
The Magpies have confirmed they’ll be taking in Isaac Quaynor for his debut and from his VFL performances, he will be adding a level of excitement that may be able to stimulate the rest of the team.
Collingwood needs to assert its dominance in this match and really stamp its foot down given a number of teams are pushing hard for second spot on the ladder.
The Hawks will provide a stern challenge because Clarkson can make the most of his cattle, but if the Magpies can put some effort into negating James Sicily, they’ll run away with this game easily.
