IT’S the Hawks’ turn to be sitting fifth this week and they will be targeting the Bulldogs as their first top-five scalp of the season.
Gisborne has won five in a row and can “officially” guarantee the double chance with a win.

THE Magpies have won three of their past four games at home.
But how will they respond to last week’s 141-point hiding from Strathfieldsaye against a Golden Square side that hasn’t lost to the Magpies for a decade?

SHAPES as another tough day at home for the Tigers.
They copped a 125-point belting off the Storm in round six at a time when they were playing their most competitive footy. They’ve dropped off since, while the Storm has only got better.
SANDHURST v CASTLEMAINE - 2.20pm Saturday at QEO.
Last time: Round 6, 2014: Sandhurst 20.19 (199) d Castlemaine 6.12 (48).

THE Magpies should be confronted by a Dragons’ side breathing fire after giving up top spot on percentage last week.
The Magpies travel to the QEO for the first time this year having lost their past six games.
