Show Preview
Not for the first time this week, the football public’s eyes will be on Tasmania as the Hawthorn Hawks host the second-placed Western Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon. Follow along with live scores on The Roar from 1:45pm (AEST).
The reception this match receives from Tasmanian footy fans will be an interesting sub-plot to this game between a premiership contender and a rebuilding outfit in the Hawks. Given Premier Peter Gutwein’s staunch refusal to further engage AFL clubs without a standalone team of their own, the league’s reveal of a report into a team in the Apple Isle has come in for criticism.
On-field, though, the Bulldogs will begin life without leading goalkicker Josh Bruce, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in the dying seconds of their loss to the Bombers. Sitting second, but equal on points with the fourth-placed Port Adelaide, the Dogs need to use the last fortnight of the home-and-away season to settle on a forward line structure that can hold up in the finals.
Meanwhile, the Alastair Clarkson swansong continues at the Hawks, who have improved enough since their bye to be now all but assured of avoiding the wooden spoon. A handy win over Collingwood last week confirmed that incoming coach Sam Mitchell has plenty to work with in coming years.
The Dogs have rung the changes for this trip south, with Bruce joined on the sidelines by the rested Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and another injury in defender Josh Schache, among five outs. The ins include exciting goalsneak Cody Weightman and, most importantly of all, key defender Alex Keath.
