Hawthorn delivered a stunning victory over the Western Bulldogs in a thrilling AFL encounter last Sunday, showcasing exceptional determination and skill.

The game saw standout performances from key players including Jarman Impey, Dylan Moore, Blake Hardwick, Jai Newcombe, and the courageous captain James Sicily.

Sicily, despite sustaining injuries during the match, displayed remarkable resilience and led the team to a crucial win with his match-winning goal.

Unfortunately, Hawthorn will be without the services of James Sicily in the upcoming fixture against St Kilda, leaving a significant gap in their defensive line after his exceptional performance last week.

St Kilda, on the other hand, managed a hard-fought victory over North Melbourne, demonstrating their offensive prowess with a high-scoring game.

A standout performance came from Darcy Wilson, who impressed with a three-goal haul and impactful midfield play.

Jack Sinclair and Nasiah Wananeed-Milera were also instrumental in securing the win for St Kilda, showcasing their skill and determination.

Both teams have shown a tendency to concede possessions, with Hawthorn ranking 12th in average possessions given up per game, while St Kilda is 16th.

The upcoming clash between Hawthorn and St Kilda promises to be a closely contested battle, with both teams hungry for victory.

Despite recent success for St Kilda against Hawthorn, the Hawks have a strong record at their home ground in Launceston, winning seven of their last ten games.

Overall, expect a competitive and exciting match as Hawthorn aims to secure back-to-back wins in the AFL season.
