Last time we met
Hawthorn (121) defeated North Melbourne (75) - Round 19, 2022
Hawthorn dominated North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena the last time they met, taking home a commanding 46-point victory.
The Hawks slotted eight unanswered goals in the first quarter to propel them to a 19.7 (121) to 11.9 (75) result.
Former Hawk Jack Gunston was a shining light in the day, recording five goals to his name, while youngster Jai Newcombe picked up two goals, 30 disposals and nine clearances.
Our last game
Sydney (118) defeated Hawthorn (37)
A red-hot Sydney outclassed Hawthorn to secure a convincing 81-point win at the SCG last Sunday.
Hawthorn battled hard around the stoppages and more than matched Sydney at clearances, winning those 35-27, but the hosts proved to be far more organised with ball in hand.
Will Day again impressed in a more central role for the Hawks with 26 touches and seven clearances, while revitalised on-baller James Worpel (22 disposals and six clearances) took charge at the coalface and Dylan Moore (23 touches) was a threat in attack and around the ball.
Skipper James Sicily was also a rock in defence on a difficult day with 25 disposals.
