The Hawks hype is as real as ever but they will need to overcome their ‘hoodoo’ team from last season with the Power pipping them by one score in both encounters.
Hawthorn are at another level though in 2025 and are on a completely different trajectory after winning their opening 4 matches while Port are still their worst enemy in front of goal and have a poor 1-3 record to start the season.
The Hawks are the toughest team to win possession against and gain decent ball inside their 50, which doesn’t match up well for the Power who more often than not blow their entries once they get their, especially when the game is in the balance.
Expect Hawthorn’s defence to be the supreme factor (if the Power hurt themselves anyway) which will be why the game total will stay under 178.5.
- Hawthorn have won all 4 of their matches by a 1-39 margin.
- Port are ranked 14th in the AFL scoring a goal on just 21.8% of their inside 50’s.
- Hawthorn give up the second-least amount of inside 50’s in the AFL (47.6/G).
- 3 of 4 Hawks matches have had a game total under 174.5 this season.

Port are strife as they continue to fall into bad habits that they have not been able to shake over the offseason. Another loss, this time by the sword of the Saints 89-72 at Adelaide Oval has Ken Hinkley’s men under the pump heading into Gather Round in their hometown.
The Power are now 1-3 to start the year with their lone win coming against Richmond as Port suffer once again from their inability to play under pressure which has them spraying the ball in every direction except between the two long sticks.
The Power did plenty right against St Kilda and the game was there for the taking as they won the ball cleanly through patches of the game to bring back the score to within two goals, but they were their worst enemy and simply couldn’t step through the door that they opened.
Despite having a scoring shot on 51.3% of their inside 50’s (2nd in AFL), Port are kicking a goal on 21.8%, which is 14th in the league.

Hawthorn are living up to the ‘Hawks Hype’ of 2025, starting the season 4-0 taking the second Sydney scalp when they toppled GWS at UTAS before their bye in Round 4.
The Hawks showed years of experience and cool in tricky conditions in Tasmania and were not spooked by the 2-37 scoreline they faced after the first quarter after fighting against the wind in the opening term. Hawthorn clawed back to a slim 7-point lead by the main break and did the unthinkable, outsourcing the Giants against the wind 26-13 in the premiership quarter to hold off GWS 76-64.
The win in such an uncertain environment adds more fuel to the fire that are the blazing Hawks in 2025 and only adds weight to them firming in as sole favourites to win the premiership this season.
