THE SIX POINTS
1. Jeremy Cameron's seven goals was the difference when the Giants upset Hawthorn in 2015; Callan Ward had 31 disposals for GWS and Sam Mitchell 34 touches for the visitors.

2. Hawthorn won the first game between the sides by a massive 162 points in 2012, the second by 83, the third by seven points, before the Giants finally won last year.

3. The Hawks continue to be the number one tackling side in 2016 averaging 84.4 per game, compared to the Giants who are the worst, ranked 18th at 59.4 per game.

4. GWS plays its first game at Spotless Stadium in 2016 this week; the Giants won six of eight games at the ground in 2015 after winning only five games in total at the venue in 2012-14.

5. Despite winning four games this year, the Hawks' scoring continues to be down on previous seasons; in 2016 they’re averaging 95 points per game compared to 109 in 2015 and 111 in 2014.

6. Small forward Cyril Rioli is Hawthorn's highest-ranked player in the Schick AFL Player Ratings at number 13, with co-captain Callan Ward leading the way for the Giants at number 20.

IT'S A BIG WEEK FOR ... James Frawley.
The Hawks' defender was brilliant against Adelaide last week and will likely get first crack at GWS spearhead Jeremy Cameron. If he can limit Cameron's output, the Giants could struggle to kick a big enough score to win the match, so the former Demon will play a key role in round six.

PREDICTION: Greater Western Sydney by 16 points.
