The Round 18 match brings together North Melbourne, currently placed 17th, and Hawthorn, sitting at 16th, at Marvel Stadium. In their previous game against GWS in Sydney, Hawthorn put forth a commendable effort but fell short by 13 points. Despite creating opportunities, the Hawks managed to score 2.4 in the final quarter compared to GWS's 3.0.

Jai Newcombe, Conor Nash, and Karl Amon showcased their ability to gather possessions effectively. However, their key forward, Mitch Lewis, failed to score a goal for the first time this season. It will be crucial for him to rediscover his form, especially as he is likely to face Ben McKay. Finn Maginness is expected to play the role of a tagger, aiming to limit the impact of Luke Davies Uniacke, following his impressive performance of holding Josh Kelly to just six disposals in the previous game against the Giants.
