A bumper Saturday of mid-season footy for round 13. It starts with GWS Giants against Hawthorn.
Sam Mitchell now likes the cut of Hawthorn’s cloth.The confidence in his team is backed up by an impressive run of AFL form - after losing their first five games, they have won five of their past seven.They made Adelaide, another team who had been rallying, look pedestrian early in last Saturday’s win at the MCG.But now the emerging Hawks come up against GWS, top-four contenders who will be a much sterner test of their abilities.
”As Mitchell says repeatedly, Hawthorn are a work in progress. He feels they were lucky at times that the Crows did not put them under more pressure.They will need to be at their best against GWS, who are coming off the bye and their last-start win over Geelong.The Giants had been struggling, but the away win over the Cats was big.The Giants’ victory over Geelong at GMHBA Stadium showed GWS can win at any venue.
