Summary: The unbeaten Hawks can take plenty out of last week's barnstorming finish in the win over North Melbourne, although they will be unhappy that another bout of ill-discipline has cost Jordan Lewis a further week on the sidelines.

At least former skipper Shane Crawford is finally available for selection after serving a suspension incurred in last year's finals series. Chance Bateman and Campbell Brown both play their 100th match for the Hawks.

The Crows won plenty of plaudits for their never say die attitude in last weekend's win over Port. But will they be able to back up again so soon after such a sapping encounter?

Key: The venue. The Hawks were hard enough to beat in Tasmania in previous years when they were an ordinary outfit. Now they are anything but ordinary.

Tip Hawthorn by 20 points
