I've been to both Hawthorn matches this year, and noting it will be slightly different under the roof, their ability to get numbers around the contest (not necessarily to it, but around it, if that makes sense) showed out against West Coast. When they won the ball they were able to transition it quickly. They generally got their own way at the clearance too, where they generated clean ball going forward.

Against the Cats they didn't seemingly have 5 extra players on the field, so I put that down to Geelong holding a better structure and possibly working a bit harder without the ball. Dangerfield played a huge game, but it was his pace around the ball which really caused them some headaches. Hawthorn have speed, but not many players who hit the contest at pace and carry the ball - they need to get it outside to get their run going - so for that reason Jong seems like a good inclusion and hopefully he is told to use his pace and take the game on.

Whilst the result of this game will be touted to mean a lot, it doesn't - so I hope we aren't putting too much pressure on ourselves internally about the result and at the same time, if we win, don't get carried away with it.
