The bookies have kept their prices very similar to that of the pre-game odds, despite a really strong showing from Adelaide. Can they get the better of Hawthorn, or will the premiers be able to come away with another close win?

HALF TIME – HAWTHORN 10.5 65 – ADELAIDE 10.3 63
Hawthorn has been dominating in terms of inside 50’s (36-23), which shows you the resiliency of the Crows to hang in at times, yet also punish the Hawks off the rebound.
A key statistic that we looked at before the game was that of clearances, and it’s Hawthorn who has come out on top. They lead that category (27-22), and also lead centre clearances (12-7).
