Game notes: Quirk No.1: These two sides are playing each other for the second time in nine weeks. Quirk No.2: Despite belting the Hawks by 86 points when they played in round three, the Suns somehow find themselves underdogs to win the return bout. They have the forward weaponry to challenge the undermanned and undersized Hawk back-line, but can they bring the heat on the road? The Hawks are nothing if not proud and after their embarrassing 0.3 first half against Port last week, they turned things around and played a decent enough second half. Having a nine-day break between games should freshen them up nicely and they’ll relish their first home game at the MCG in seven weeks. Provided Gary Ablett and Tom Lynch don’t get off the leash too much, the Hawks should be able to squeeze out the win.
Thommo’s Tip: Gold Coast by 18 points
