But maybe the edge just slightly goes to the Hawks in that part of the ground too.

Right.

So it's a 2-1 split to the Hawks.

What's your overall feeling?

Well, it's a really hard game for me, this one.

I just think if the game becomes open field transition-based and the Hawks can get some lateral movement in this, I'm going to give the advantage to the Hawks.

I really like the way that they're playing.

But I think if the Hawks will have issues, if they do have any issues at all moving the ball consistently against Fremantle's defence, then I'd lean towards Fremantle.

But this will be a great battle of offence versus defence.

In this one, I'm just going to slightly give the edge to the visiting Hawks.

I think if they can sustain that opening barrage that Fremantle are going to try and pile on them, I think they've got the offense to break open Fremantle's defense tonight.

The peak of the round comes right at the start.
