Hawthorn Hawks vs West Coast Eagles AFL 2025 Round 7 FAQ’s

Even with the addition of team captain Oscar Allen it is difficult to see how the Eagles can improve to the level to compete with this Hawthorn team on Sunday. West Coast have been completely outplayed and at times dominated in their matches this season with half of them finishing with losing margins of 70+ points.

Hawthorn have just taken back to back losses and for a premiership contender they will be hungry to get back out and stretch their legs to send a message to the rest of the league. They have blown out the Eagles in their two previous matchups and average 54.2 Inside 50’s per game, putting themselves in great positions to score.

West Coast are the worst team at allowing their opposition to get into scoring range and have had the most scoring shots put on them of any team so far this season. Their defence stinks and when things start going south, the players just turn off and the opposition run away with the game.

Take Hawthorn to win and cover this massive line while also going Over their Team Total. Chol picked up 3 last weekend for the second time this season and will make it two in a row with 3 or more goals!

The Eagles have allowed half of their opponents to score 121 points or more this season.
Hawthorn average 112 pts vs West Coast in their last 3.
In all but 1 game this season have the Eagles allowed an opposition goalkicker to kick 4 or more goals on them. Jesse Hogan kicked 9.
Mabior Chol has kicked 3 goals in a game twice this season and Peter Wright kicked 6 vs WC last weekend.

Hawthorn have now dropped 2 on the trot after bursting out of the gates with 4 straight wins. Their 86-79 loss to the Cats on Easter Monday was a game for the ages with the result not being secured until the final seconds of the game.

The Hawks were statistically better than their opponent in almost all measures winning the centre clearance battle, Inside 50’s and disposal efficiency, but they could not convert enough of their chances into points, ultimately costing them the game.

Jack Gunston and Mabior Chol both finished with 3 goals each with Chol also picking up 3 clearances while Karl Amon led all on field with 29 disposals in the game. Much of what was successful for the Hawks last season was their ball movement by hands; that number has retreated somewhat over the first quarter of this season.
