The 2025 AFL season's Round 19 match sees Hawthorn Hawks take on the Port Adelaide Power on Saturday at UTAS Stadium, Launceston.
Hawthorn's four-match winning streak ended last week following a 77-64 defeat to Fremantle. They return to a venue where they have not lost in their last nine games and will look to bounce back against the Power, who are currently outside the finals spots.
With an 11-6 record, the Hawks sit sixth on the ladder but are only one loss away from slipping out of the top eight.
It was a must-win game for Port Adelaide and while they were right to be confident against a bottom-placed West Coast outfit, they managed to survive a scare.
The game finished 87-61 in favour of the Power but the win was less than convincing for a team that is supposed to be a finals contender. Port Adelaide currently sit 11th on the ladder, still three wins away from a top eight spot.
However, they face a Hawks side whom they have defeated in four straight meetings, including two blowouts and two decided by a margin of less than three points.
