Hawthorn will look to cause an upset against the league leaders when they host a high-flying Sydney outfit at the MCG Recent Form: Hawthorn (6th, 1W, 1L) was dominant in Round 1, crushing Essendon by 62 points in a 145–83 victory. They utilised a fast-paced corridor game to record 23 marks inside 50, punishing any defensive errors with speed on the rebound Sydney (1st, 2W, 0L) remain unbeaten after a clinical 44-point victory over the Brisbane Lions. They currently boast the league's highest percentage of 182.9% after averaging 118 points per game across the opening fortnight Key Players: Hawthorn forward Jack Gunston was superb against the Bombers, proving his leading patterns are still elite by booting 5 goals from 10 disposals and has 9 goals already this term Sydney's Joel Amartey is also in scorching form, having kicked 8 goals this season, including a dominant 5-major haul from 13 disposals against the Lions

Head-to-Head: The Swans have won 6 of the last 10 encounters, though Hawthorn secured the most recent victory with a 20-point win in the 2025 Opening Round. Sydney's last MCG win against the Hawks was a 76-point thrashing in 2024 The Hawks' offensive speed will test a Sydney side that must find a way to cover the loss of injured star Errol Gulden and potentially Isaac Heeney TIP: Hawthorn by 11 points

Exciting news for Dingley Village! PM Anthony Albanese officially opened Hawthorn FC’s new state-of-the-art Kennedy Centre. SPORTENG delivered its detailed design, including four #AFL ovals and a multi-use field. Watch the 7News story here 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2kk... #SportsDesign #HawthornFC

Ex-Roo, VFL leading goalkicker among trio looking for lifeline at Hawks Flynn Perez, Brodie McLaughlin and Ethan Stanley are trialling for a spot on Hawthorn's rookie list during the pre-season supplemental selection period

Perez would be a handy pick up for #HawthornFC. Shown he's got over his knee issues for the moment. Would be a loss to #SturtFC but this is why he came across, to get back in to the #AFL.

www.afl.com.au/news/1459340...

How about that.

Both #HawthornFC & #CollingwoodFC copped the full brunt of the #CrowsCurse.

Neither make the #AFL Grand Final.

😉😛😂 #KeepingItLight🍺

So, #HawthornFC come up against a seasoned finals side like #GeelongFC and the #HokBall #HollywoodHawks choke after half time.

One step closer to the #AFL dream of a Geelong v #CollingwoodFC Grand Final.
