Where and When: Optus Stadium, Wednesday 12 August at 6:10pm (AEST)
Last time they met: Hawthorn 16.9 (105) def West Coast 9.13 (67) Round 23, 2019.
What does it mean for Hawthorn: A change to mess up their draft by winning.
What does it mean for West Coast: A win helps their bid to end up top 4.
Supercoach Watch Hawks: Mitchel Sicily Wingard, Day
Supercoach Watch Eagles: Gaff, Kelly, Sheed, Yeo, Shuey
Father Dougal Watch: Nic Nat! Many have brought him in and he’s been getting more time on ground. Could go big. It’s hard not to barrack for Nic Nat even not owning him. But still, his non owners would be happy if he keeps it under a ton. Good luck with that.
Father Dougal’s Tip: Eagles by 20. No reason to think the Hawks will fix things vs the Eagles.

LATE CHANGES
Eagles: Yeo out, replaced by Brander
Hawks: No changes
Wow massive, Yeo out!
Yeo has easily been my worst selection this year 🙁 gonna lose me another close leagues game
Take Neales 134 as VC (loophole) and Mcphersons 41 or throw Capt on Nic Nat and put Will Day on field? Brander was my loophole, so have to reassess!!!
Another example of holding trades till game time, was considering bringing him in for D.Smith , took Zorko instead as I knew he was playing. That’s one thing right for the year!!
Was going to take a donut up forward with Dev Smith out, put Brander on field in the off chance he would be a late in and sometimes you get lucky. Likely he will only put up 12 or so points now but hey its better than 0
Phew……c Williams not playing.
my hawks getting pumped sux
yeo out & getting starcevich’s 100 E is a sliver lining
Good to see my boys Wingard and Sic playing well to start :(. Praying my new recruit Nic Nat and the ever reliable Mitchell can carry them to something respectable and not ruin a great sunday for me
hurn putting up a score , nice
Has anyone told Sicily the game has started?
lockdown on darling
wont be running off tonight
sicily’s gna have his hands full with darling
Sicily!ffs!!!!
Does anyone else find it peculiar that prior to today’s game, Naitanui had taken only 3 marks for the entire season?
An average of 0.3 marks per game!
It seems weird that a gun big bloke as athletic as NicNat does not mark.
Sorry I am not able to watch the game. Is Sicily playing ? I cannot hear his name on the radio
WC doing a number on the hawks
hawks cant keep possession
Starting to feel better for not owning Sicily. Sits close to my never again list, due to this exact situation he is in, as well as becoming a key forward.
I just find it hard to a good reason to bring him in, when he can have absolutely shocker games
He is the third highest averaging defender coming into this round. Yes he can put in bad games but you should never rule someone out (unless they are consistently injured)
If Clarko finally leaves Hawks, Sicily will come more into thought, I just don’t like inconsistent players. Yeo-Yeo is another example of who I ignore. If Sicily was just set in his role every week, then sure. But seeing this forward switch occuring, is just too off putting for me.
clarko will retire when he eventually leaves the hawks

Sicily not starting on Darling, praying he stays off him and has a huge 2nd half
sicily has moved on to oscar allen @ start of the 3rd
umps not interested in paying any frees to the hawks tonight
Gee Gaff is hard to watch. Is going to get 30+ touches and score less than 100
Bloody seagull
new coach for hawthorn next year? or no
And Sicily thrown Fwd for the last quarter
sicily moved fwd
redden done for the night
rain
New captain for the Hawks?
hawks still pretty good considering they haven’t had a top draft pick in a decade
clarko should drop every player with a niggle for the rest of the year
no ones gna rate the corona cup winner down the track anyway
Come on Hawks!
hawks played tough footy
stood up all night
but WC are simply unbeatable @ home
I want to fix my team but i just realise there is one more game tomorrow.
Hawks should bring in some more young rookies to play test their skills out.
Sicily looks sore! Right knee!
Being assisted off
sicily knee
Now Sicily going off injures, very sad story
Sicily going downstairs looking bad
So with Sicily, Simpson & McPherson all injured this round, can we have 3 trades next week?
Not next round. But I’ll let you have 3 the following round.
Deal?
Was gunna be the last time Sicily single handedly derailed my score anyway.
