Gold Coast Suns vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview
Gold Coast (15th 3W 7L) head to Darwin to take on Hawthorn (17th 2W 8L) this Saturday evening.
Despite both teams continuing to build their lists through the draft in the off season, both teams’ supporters should feel a level of disappointment through ten rounds of footy.
Injuries to key position players has taken it’s toll on both sides which can put real pressure on the depth on a developing list.
Hawthorn have now lost their last four straight games and has failed to cover the line in their last seven, which simply means they are not living up to expectations.
After the Suns put together wins against Sydney and Collingwood there was a sense of optimism around a club that has wallowed in the middle and lower end of the ladder for their entire existence.
Alas, thy have now lost their last three in a row, the most worrying was a 73 point belting against their QLD rivals in round nine at Metricon Stadium.
With the last two rounds an exception, they have proved a team very hard to score against in season 2021.
In fact, excluding rounds nine and ten, they have averaged just 72.87 points per game against.
