HAWTHORN v GEELONG

Monday 1 April @ MCG

While something else apparently makes big news on Easter Monday, the old Hawthorn and Geelong conflict is probably nowhere near the excitement of the old days.

Remember those great times when it seemed every single game was under two kicks. And the Kennett curse held a long and proud history at the time.

There was not that much contesting at all last week when the Hawks took on Melbourne. A hell of a lot of stat padding and marking but not much action heading up the field.

It might bore the opposition to death but hardly inspires great watching and barely teaches the youngsters going forward.

But you have to do what you need to do to win it seems.

The Cats deserved to beat Adelaide because they were better at defending and the opponent played right into their hands bombing it into the forward line. Stewart will eat that for breakfast.

However the Crows still had a chance late and didn't take it. Were Geelong a little lucky in that regard?

With Dangerfield given some time now, someone gets more midfield minutes.

Ironically the two sides he has the best possession average against is his old side Adelaide and Hawthorn. So he will be missed.

Even if you give Hawthorn the possible thought of playing competitively here, there just doesn't appear enough cattle up front to kick a big enough score.

Geelong has too many shots in the locker for them even if the side isn't the same as was in Adelaide.
