Summary:
The unbeaten Hawks can take plenty out of last week's emphatic finish in the win over North Melbourne, although they will be unhappy that another bout of ill-discipline has cost midfielder Jordan Lewis another week on the sidelines. At least former skipper Shane Crawford is finally available for selection after serving a suspension from last year's finals series. Chance Bateman and Campbell Brown both play their 100th match for the Hawks. The Crows won plenty of plaudits for their never-say-die attitude in last weekend's win over the Power. But will they be able to back up again so soon after such a sapping encounter?

Key: The venue. The Hawks were hard enough to beat in Tasmania in previous years when they were an ordinary outfit. Now they are anything but ordinary.

Tip: Hawthorn by 20 points
