HAWTHORN and the Western Bulldogs will kick off a mouth-watering 2008 finals fixture at the MCG on Friday night.
For weeks the match has been anticipated, and the Buddy led Hawks will start hot favourites.
Collingwood will travel to Adelaide due to a disappointing away loss to Fremantle, and looked stretched if captain Scott Burns was to miss again.
A traditional clash between South Melbourne and North Melbourne will take place at ANZ stadium on Saturday Night, in the harbour capital.
The ‘Shinboners’ will be seeking revenge following an unforgivable display last start in which they threw away an all but sealed second chance.
And finally, the Saints will have first crack at Geelong due to an incredible clutch performance against Essendon.
St Kilda needed a near 100 point win to elevate itself ahead of Adelaide on percentage, and a seven goal last quarter to nil secured an amazing 108 point victory.
