[VIDEO] West Coast Eagles vs Hawthorn Hawks highlights: AFL live scores, blog - The Roar

The game was everything it was expected it to be. It was tough and willing and played in some terrible conditions but after leading for most of the game the Eagles were unable to hold their lead and the Hawks managed to stay in the contest and... They have the Derby next week and will also have to play the Bulldogs before the finals start and there is the real possibility that they have let a home final slip.

Match Preview: The most anticipated game of 2015 is finally here with the resurgent West Coast Eagles hosting the defending premiers Hawthorn Hawks at Domain Stadium. This game will have a huge impact on the finals, with a loss for Hawthorn all but guaranteeing that the two qualifying finals will be played in Western Australia. This would make it quite possible for a side (should they fail to win the away qualifying final) having to make two trips to Perth to play both Western Australian sides – a scenario that would test even the best sides in the competition.
