Collingwood can finish round 12 in the top eight with a win over Hawthorn at the MCG as two freshman coaches clash Sunday afternoon.
Hawthorn (4-7, 87.2%) has won just one of his last six games and was hit by the Gold Coast Suns last week after what was initially a promising start to the season with Sam Mitchell.
Collingwood (6-5, 102.9%) comes after consecutive wins over the top four contenders at Fremantle and Carlton, reviving hopes of an appearance in the final the first year under the direction of Craig McRae.
