The Hawthorn VFLW side face a must-win clash against Richmond this Sunday.

Despite escaping with a draw, the Hawks were disappointed with their performance against the second-last-placed Carlton last week.

With six rounds to go in the season, the reigning VFLW premiers currently sit in eighth position with six clubs playing finals.

Hawthorn meet a Richmond that, although higher up the ladder, find themselves in similar circumstances having not recorded a victory in its past two outings.
