Geelong Cats vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview
There’s never a dull moment when Geelong and Hawthorn meet.
Thanks to dodgy umpiring and a bit of home-cookin’ the Cats were lucky to get four premiership points against the Brisbane Lions (proudly sponsored by Neds) last Friday night.
A surprise loss to Adelaide followed by a gifted win.
Last years Grand Final runners up will be favourites against the Hawks who had a decent crack at the Tigers last Sunday only to be outclassed.
It was as honourable a 29 point loss as you could have, and it did result in Hawthorn breaking many a multi with the line at -31.5.
There will be even more feeling in this clash with Isaac Smith now a Cat.
He kicked what turned out to be the winning goal last week against the Lions but couldn’t do it for Hawthorn in the 2016 Qualifying final.
Geelong are clear favourites ($1.24) heading into this match, but you just feel the Hawks could give them a real run for their money.
The line has been set at -23.5 and I reckon Clarko’s young Hawks might just cover it.
