Mats Zuccarello and Derek Stepan scored shootout goals

Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson learnt the hard way in 2012 that an AFL sides form throughout the season counts for little in September.So Clarkson isnt fretting the Hawks have a few problems they must fix to contend for a record-equalling fourth consecutive premiership.Hawthorn dropped two of their final four games of the regular season, while they would have finished outside the top four if not for a one-point win over Collingwood in the last round.I refer back to 2012 and we played some of our best football that year that weve ever played (but it was) in home and away, Clarkson said on Tuesday.We got rolled in a grand final ... its important that youre playing your best footy at the right time of the year.Theres plenty of people lining up to write the Hawks off but we set ourselves a goal at the start of the year to win as many games as we could and get ourselves into the top four.Weve won 17 games this year, which is one more than year.Thats not to say Clarkson is in denial about on-field woes ahead of next Fridays qualifying final against Geelong at the MCG.We know what we need to do, at different stages we havent been pleased ... wed like to perform a little bit better than we have, he said.Well keep those internal but we got a lot of areas of our game (to work on).Wed like to think weve got some improvement in the way that we play all facets of the game.The return of injured big men Ben McEvoy and Ben Stratton should help in that regard.Ruckman McEvoy missed the Hawks final-round win over Collingwood because of a sore back.Hes still doing some recovery ... we expect hed be available to play, Clarkson said.But well just have to wait and see.Hopefully that settles well and he can get himself into the full program by early next week.Defender Stratton hasnt played since tearing his left pectoral muscle in the round-20 loss to Melbourne.We thought it was about a three-week injury. Hes missed those three so unless theres a hiccup wed expect him to play, Clarkson said.Skipper Luke Hodge declared his sides status as triple reigning premiers was irrelevant.The reason were back here is because every year we regroup, Hodge said.Weve put ourselves into another position to have a red-hot crack this year.Collingwood are the only club in VFL/AFL history to win four consecutive flags, a feat they achieved in 1927-30.
