Hawks wary of improved Tigers

Augusta-Margaret River’s dream of making the finals could disintegrate if they fail to defeat South Bunbury at Gloucester Park on Sunday. Matt Jamieson’s side fell into a deep hole against the Eaton Boomers on Saturday and the Hawks boss knows South cannot be taken lightly. “Obviously their form has been pretty good over the past couple of weeks,” he said. “So it is probably a reality that no team in the competition is easy. We cannot let our guard down and they obviously have a bit of confidence. “We have not used the ball well over the past couple of weeks despite having plenty of opportunities.” A major focus at training this week for the Hawks will be goalkicking, given the fact they had kicked 3.14 (32) up until three-quarter time, before finishing on 9.17 (71). “We always talk through feedback earlier in the week,” Jamieson said. “We go through room for improvement and positives. “One positive was that we did not throw the towel in. We kicked 6.3 to 3.0 in the last quarter even though they kicked a couple.” Tigers coach Stephen Bilcich believes his side is benefiting from players returning from injury.
