The former master and apprentice face off in a good old fashioned grudge match between Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos and Sam Mitchell’s Hawks in the first meeting between the two coaches.
Hawthorn (0-2, 42.1%) is still searching for its first win of 2023, having come under intense scrutiny this week amid concerns it cut its list too deep last off-season after off-loading so many veterans.
The Hawks wielded the selection axe as a result, bringing in Harry Morrison, Jack Scrimshaw and Tyler Brockman.
