GOLD Coast hosts Hawthorn at People First Stadium in one of two Saturday night clashes.

The Suns (2-2) made seven changes to their line-up last week in a bold move that looked like it might pay dividends when they kept pace with Greater Western Sydney until the final term.

But the young Suns face a different type of test this time when they come up against a Hawks outfit they will be broadly expected to beat. 

Hawthorn (0-4) surged home against Collingwood with seven of the last eight goals of the match but remain winless after falling five points short.

The concern is that the Hawks have averaged one goal to five in their opening terms, and trailed at half-time in every match so far, in clear signs they need to switch on from the first bounce rather than relying on a late charge.

Both the Hawks and Suns are unchanged.

In the other Saturday night clash, Port Adelaide will welcome Fremantle to Adelaide Oval.

Port Adelaide (3-1) could hardly have been more impressive in a resounding victory over Essendon, but will still feel the heat of needing to make the most of three consecutive matches on home turf that started with a narrow defeat to Melbourne.

POWER v DOCKERS Follow it LIVE

The Power have the edge over the Dockers on their home turf, winning all six of the their clashes at Adelaide Oval.

Fremantle (3-1) has a point to prove after a heartbreaking defeat to Carlton ended its unbeaten start to the season.

The Dockers could still put themselves in a strong position with a victory over the Power, with the local Derby then matches against the Bulldogs and Tigers to follow.

The Power have Ollies Wines and Sam Powell-Pepper back, replacing Travis Boak and Jeremy Finlayson, while the Dockers have called up Neil Erasmus in place of Michael Frederick.
