Hawthorn are one of the slowest teams in the competition and their midfield is where it all starts.
Patterson Stadium has proven to be a headache for this mob and Franklin seems to struggle on genuine quality such as Glass as he's averaged just 2.5 goals in his career against them.
McCauley/Roughead v Cox/Naitanui
Don't even have to mention the quality of their defenders as we know how well they do against big powerful forwards.
Strange how all the talk was nothing but Hawthorn preseason and how great Franklin looks beating up on teams who weren't exactly trying.
Wonder how people will feel after they get embarrassed by the Eagles and find themselves back in the middle of the pack at 2-2 with a trip to York oval and the 'contested ball winning' Swans
West Coast Eagles over 39.5 points looks a very juicy bet!
