Hawthorn Hawks v Western Bulldogs Live

Watch online streaming of Hawthorn Hawks v Western Bulldogs Live from Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG),Melbourne Friday ,2nd July 2010, Start at 19:40 AEST. This is the match of the week and the Fri night blockbuster will tell us a lot about each team. The Dogs’ last match was a mangling of the Eagles in Perth while the Hawks relied on some Buddy Franklin brilliance to get it across the line versus the Bombers two weeks past.

The Hawks have won their last 6 and will be aiming to consolidate a spot in the top 8, while the Bulldogs could move to 4th with a triumph. Down back the Hawks have been hit hard with injuries namely Josh Gibson. Gibson is close to full fitness and could make his come back from a long hamstring injury this Friday, however club officials have called his situation ‘touch and go’, and he could spend 1 more week in the reserves. In recent weeks Thomas Murphy and Grant Birchall have stood up and they will need to be at their best again this week with the Dogs posing a multi pronged offensive threat.

The Doggies have had a rest after returning from Perth so they cannot use travel as an excuse this week. There is talk they may have turned the corner after an ordinary start to the year for their standards. Friday night will be a real test for the Doggies and they will be looking to make a statement. If Hill and Hall can get assistance from bright, young prospect, Jarrad Grant the Dogs will be difficult to beat, however the MCG is not a ground they are known for dominating on.
