This Saturday October 3rd will see the clash of the titans when the Hawthorn Hawks take on the West Coast Eagles at the MCG. Both teams have had triumph years with West Coast taking the 2nd position on the ladder and the Hawks taking the third.
The West Coast Eagles had a slow start to the year, but as the season progressed they became a power house and almost dominate once the middle of the season hit. The likes of there premier squad of Nic Nat, Jack Darling, Luke Shuey, Matthew Priddis, Mark Lecras and of course the Coleman medal winner Josh Kennedy. The Eagles managed to finish 2nd for inside 50’s, 5th for clearances and 5th for disposals. Out of both final contenders and Eagles had a much easier round in the prelim’s coming up against the North Melbourne Kangaroos and West Coast finished them off in easy fashion. The last time the Perth side faced off against the hawks at Domain stadium the Eagles had a triumph victory winning 96-64. 
Hawthorn have been one of the most dominate sides all year and one of the strongest contenders, appearing in the last 4 grand finals. The road to the finals came at a battle against the number 1 see Fremantle Dockers. But in true Hawthorn fashion it didn’t take long before the hawks found a way to dismantle Fremantle. The Hawks finished 1st in inside 50’s, 4th in clearances and 2nd in disposals, and there unselfishness has gotten them to where they are now. In the last 5 meetings between Hawthorn and West Coast, the Hawks have surged to a 4-1 record and at the MCG put them as the prime favourites to take the flag.
Not to take the spotlight away from any of tonights AFL highlights for the 2015 brownlow medal, where the Eagles Matthew Priddis managed to take the 2nd spot behind the victorious Nat Fyfe. With Nat Fyfe being talked about as the winner all week along side Patty Dangerfield and Priddis, it came down to Fyfe who shot out to a massive lead early and never looked back polling the most votes and taking the brownlow easily.
But this Saturday will determine who is the best team in the country. Will it be the late surging West Coast Eagles, or will it be experience and smart play of the mighty Hawthorn Hawks that will take this grand final. My pick is the Hawks by 14 points.
