Interim coach Josh Fraser might be handed a blank cheque if the Blues win this one on Saturday night. Carlton\u2019s turnaround post Michael Voss has been nothing short of\u00a0stunning;\u00a0the Blues winning their seventh game on the trot last week narrowly over Richmond. The Hawks are up next, and Sam Mitchell\u2019s side\u00a0should be playing with a point to prove after\u00a0falling behind by 12 goals at half time last week in a shock upset against Melbourne. Hawthorn\u2019s body language and overall interest level was off from the\u00a0get-go, although there were\u00a0some\u00a0positives to draw\u00a0in the second half when the Hawks kicked 12 unanswered. Nick Watson is a good chance to return\u00a0this week in front of what should be a big crowd at the \u2018G. The Hawks responded to a loss to Melbourne earlier in the year with an 11-point win over Adelaide, and we could see this one decided by a similar margin after what should have been a hard week at training for the brown and gold.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
