AFL premiers Hawthorn meet fellow grand final favourites Sydney at the SCG on Thursday night.
The top of the table Hawks side’s last defeat was at the hands of the Swans in Round 9 when the Sydney team jumped the premiers to win by 14 points.
Superstar Hawks forward Cyril Rioli (pictured) played one of this best games of the season against Port last weekend after being asked by coach Alistair Clarkson to raise his intensity around the ball and Rioli says the coaches advice definitely worked for him.
