Hawthorn will head to Launceston for the final time this year when they host the Western Bulldogs at UTAS Stadium on Sunday.
The match will see the Hawks honour Tasmania's first responders, with the club hosting its second annual Tasmania Emergency Services Match.
Following the successful inaugural event in 2022, Hawthorn will once again provide an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the state’s emergency services workers and volunteers who work tirelessly to protect the community.
To celebrate the day, we have special $10 GA tickets available!
The Hawks will be looking to keep their momentum going after its stunning 32-point win against Collingwood last week, while the Bulldogs will also be hoping for back-to-back wins as they look to secure their spot in the top eight.

Last time we met
Western Bulldogs (94) defeated Hawthorn (65), Round 7 2023
The Bulldogs overcame a determined Hawks outfit to claim a 29-point win at Marvel Stadium.
Despite being well beaten in clearances and contested possession before half-time, the Bulldogs gradually tilted the match in their favour to secure the 14.10 (94) to 9.11 (65) victory.
The home side owned the scoreboard for most of the second half, but struggled to shake off the gallant Hawks.
Bontempelli (20 disposals) was below his scintillating best, drifting in and out of the contest as Hawthorn threatened a boilover in front of 40,119 fans.
Aaron Naughton (four goals), Caleb Daniel (27 disposals, six clearances) and Jack Macrae (26, six) were all influential in the victory.
Will Day (30 touches, six clearances, one goal), James Worpel (25, eight, one) and Jai Newcombe (24, 10, two) took up the fight with the Dogs' engine room and veteran forward Luke Breust (three goals) was a handful in attack before half-time.
Hawks spearhead Mitch Lewis impressed in his first game of the season on return from a knee injury but was wayward in front of goal, kicking 1.4 from 16 disposals and 11 marks.
