The league's final undefeated side will face a high-stakes test when the free-flowing Hawks welcome the Western Bulldogs to Adelaide Oval Recent Form: Hawthorn (6th, 3W, 1L) was the big winner of Round 4, moving into the top six after their thrilling 1-point victory over Geelong. The ability to score rapidly through handball chains has become a hallmark of the season so far Western Bulldogs (1st, 4W, 0L) remain at the top of the ladder after a clinical 34-point win over Essendon. They are the league's last unbeaten team, a feat the club has not achieved since 1961 Key Players: Hawthorn’s Jack Gunston is experiencing a late-career resurgence, booting 3 goals and 4 behinds against Geelong to seal a famous victory Western Bulldogs midfielder Matthew Kennedy was peerless in Round 4, finishing with 36 disposals, 11 clearances and a goal
Head-to-Head: Hawthorn has won the past four matches between the two sides, restricting the Bulldogs to an average of just 69 points in those encounters The Bulldogs are the most balanced team in the competition, but Hawthorn’s "chaotic" speed transition and recent psychological edge make them a formidable opponent on neutral ground TIP: Western Bulldogs by 10+
Hawthorn: 6th, 3-0-1, 431 for, 378 against, 114.0%. Footscray: 1st, 4-0-1, 438 for, 312 against, 140.4%.
