The Hawthorn Hawks take on the Sydney Swans in the AFL on Sunday. The Hawks secured their first win of the season against the winless North Melbourne Kangaroos in round 6.
Sydney, meanwhile, have had a superb start to the season with five wins in six games. They put on a great performance against the Suns and should continue the same against the Hawks.
Unlikely as the matchup seems, there's the opportunity for the Swans to put on some of their best work this season. There’s also room for what might be the biggest upset of 2024.

Hawthorn Hawks vs Sydney Swans Preview
This will be no easy task for the Hawks. Sydney has had a great season, winning five of their six matches, only losing to Richmond.
Their last game against the Gold Coast Suns ended in a 110-57 victory for the Swans. Going by their current form, this matchup doesn’t seem favorable for Hawthorn. Nevertheless, Hawthorn will be motivated coming into this game, as they have far more to lose and will give the Swans a tough fight.
Hawthorn’s midfield will be crucial, but Sydney will be more than prepared for anything the Hawks will throw at them. If Sydney doesn’t have an off day, the result of this game is almost guaranteed. Sydney will walk away with the win. Either way, this is bound to be a thrilling end to round 7.
