Warnie from The Traders, AFL.com.au’s NAB AFL Fantasy experts, will be taking a look at the Hawks each week exclusive to hawthornfc.com.au.
Last week
A trip to Perth wasn’t going to be easy and it too until the last quarter to come away with the points against the inform Eagles.
Five Hawks topped the ton as Liam Shiels (130) smashed out a huge score thanks to 17 tackles. An incredible effort.
Jordan Lewis (118) had 30 touches while Sam Mitchell (117) starred racking up 36 disposals.
The Hawthorn boys are one of the top scoring teams this year and this once again came through with half of the side scoring 80 or more. The Hawks won on the Fantasy scoreboard 1756 to 1366.
Top scorers v West Coast
• 130 – Liam Shiels (MID, $553,000)
• 118 – Jordan Lewis (MID, $564,000)
• 117 – Sam Mitchell (MID, $553,000)
• 107 – Luke Breust (FWD, $398,000)
• 100 – Ben McEvoy (RUC, $432,000)
On the radar
With the last four games of the home-and-away season against Geelong, Port Adelaide, Brisbane Lions and Carlton, the Hawks have a favourable draw when it comes to Fantasy.
These four sides are giving up plenty of points and with the high scoring play from Hawthorn, you could get the edge over your opponents in the Fantasy finals by loading up on boys in the brown and yellow.
Jordan Lewis is back in town and Sam Mitchell has rarely put a foot wrong averaging 109 in his last five games. Consider as premium midfielders for your teams in the run home.
What's coming up
This Saturday night the Hawks feature in another Match Day game.
Hawthorn take on Geelong at the MCG and if their most recent encounter is anything to go by, it could be a high scoring game.
Lock in Jordan Lewis as your captain if you think he can back it up his round one effort. The midfielder scored 156 and those double points could help you towards the $10,000 up for grabs. Luke Hodge (115) and Josh Gibson (110) were a high scoring defensive combination on Easter Monday.
