It's only round 1 - correct. Although in order to make the top 4 you need to win at least 16 games assuming we follow suit from last years top 4 results. This means they can only afford to lose 5 more games. I think Hawthorn will struggle to beat West Coast or even Western Bulldogs in the upcoming two weeks without their captain, key goal kicker and no key defender. The retirements and growing injuries will take the sting out of their gameplay.
