The Hawks find themselves nursing their wounds after a hard-fought, 20 point loss against Werribee. Meanwhile, the Dogs are riding high on a wave of success, having convincingly beaten Casey by 79 points. As they gear up for the semi-final, the Hawks will return to the familiar Box Hill City Oval, known for its expansive wings that perfectly complement their open style of play. Anticipate a strategic display featuring seamless switches that will test their opponents' stamina, followed by rapid ball movement through the Dog's defense, resulting in numerous goal-scoring opportunities.
However, it's worth noting that the Dogs are well-prepared for whatever challenge the Hawks present, having previously defeated them at this very venue during round 21. On that occasion, Jordon Sweet stood out as a formidable force in the ruck, effortlessly outclassing Meek, Ramsden, and young Tucker with an impressive 52 hitouts and nearly as many disposals as the three Hawk ruckmen combined. Sweet looms as a significant obstacle for our team to overcome if we hope to secure victory in this match. Nonetheless, players like Crosier, Garcia, and several other Dogs will also demand close attention. This upcoming contest promises to be an exhilarating battle, with the outcome tough to pick.
