AFL premiers Hawthorn must win this evenings clash with the Bulldogs if they’re to keep their dream of four straight flags alive.
The Hawks loss to Geelong means they’ll take the long route to the grand final if they do indeed make it but the club experienced exactly the same situation last year after losing to the Eagles and went on to its third flag.
While the premiers are full of confidence that they have the team to beat the Bulldogs, coach Alistair Clarksons (pictured) calm demeanour was starting to show the odd crack at training this morning when asked about how his team would beat the Dogs.
