Hawthorn will be eying consecutive wins when it takes on Richmond this Sunday at the MCG.
It comes as the Hawks made it four wins from five matches after accounting for Gold Coast by seven points at UTAS Stadium last weekend.
The Tigers are also coming off an impressive win against Port Adelaide last week which saw them claw their way back into the eight.
Hawthorn fans will get to celebrate a much-loved Hawk at the game, with Sunday marking Jarman Impey’s 150th game milestone.
Impey joined the club at the end of the 2017 season following 75 games with Port Adelaide, with his 150th also marking 75 games for Hawthorn.
The game will also act as a double-header for AFLW, with Hawthorn set to face Richmond in its first official pre-season practice game.
The clash, which commences at 10.30am, will be held at MCG prior to the men's game at 1.10pm.
Hawks fans can get behind their new AFLW team by signing up as a member here.

Last time we met
Richmond (117) defeated (94) – Round 9, 2022
Richmond survived a late fightback, knocking off a spirited Hawthorn outfit by 23 points the last time the two met at the MCG.
The Tigers were the best team for most of the game, recording 21 more inside 50s, 21 more tackles and 14 more centre clearances to comprehensively win the midfield battle.
The Hawks led by a kick at quarter-time and then kicked the first three goals of the second quarter to open up a 25-point lead, looking unstoppable when Jacob Koschitzke kicked two goals in two-and-a-half minutes.
But just when Hawthorn had all the momentum, Richmond kicked two extraordinary goals out of nowhere to gain back control and snowball towards the win.
Our last game
Hawthorn (70) defeated Gold Coast (63)
The Hawks held off a final-quarter Suns fightback for a seven-point win at University of Tasmania Stadium last Saturday.
Veteran Hawk Jack Gunston booted five goals in the 10.10 (70) to 8.15 (63) result in the milestone match of skipper Ben McEvoy's 250th game.
Hawthorn booted the opening goal and never relinquished the lead from there, quelling the Suns’ chances in the opening term.
Gunston threatened to tear the game open from the start, booting the opening two goals of the match and had four to his name by half-time.
His five-goal haul continued his rich vein of form, with 11 goals in the past three matches.
Fellow Hawk Jaeger O’Meara had eight clearances and eight tackles from his 20 disposals to in a brilliant display.
