CARLTON will travel to York Park in Launceston to take on Hawthorn this Sunday in the hope of backing up its Round 5 victory.

Here is everything you need to know about the Blues’ Round 6 opponent.

OVERVIEW:

Ladder position: 13th

Won: 2

Lost: 3

Form: WLWLL

Average points for: 84

Average points against: 83.8

WHAT TO WATCH:

Carlton will face a desperate Hawks outfit as they try to get their season back on track following two consecutive losses.

Hawthorn made a strong start to their 2019 campaign in defeating Adelaide in Round 1, but has otherwise been inconsistent in the following rounds.

Meanwhile the Blues will head to Launceston with a newfound confidence, having recorded their first win of the season against the Bulldogs in Round 5.

Carlton will have to overturn recent form against the Hawks: despite holding an overall record of 104 wins in 167 games, Hawthorn has well and truly had the ascendancy since the turn of the millennium.

It will be an evenly matched battle in the centre, with the Hawks outranking Carlton in hitouts but trailing in clearances.
