Hawthorn can complete its stunning turnaround from 0-5 to a 2024 finalist by beating North Melbourne in Launceston this afternoon, amid an 11th-hour time change.
The Hawks (13-9, 111.8%) have won 13 of their past 17 matches and will guarantee a spot in September with victory tonight. With a loss, they would risk missing the eight if both Carlton and Fremantle win on Sunday.
The Kangaroos (3-19, 66.1%) will finish 17th on the ladder unless Richmond beats Gold Coast earlier in the day, and the Roos cop a huge loss to the Hawks.
