The Hawks will be back on the road in Adelaide for the second outing of round 12, but will then play three straight games at the WEC in round 13.

The Hawks enjoyed their most memorable win of last season at home to the Kings on New Years' Eve.

With a home clash with Brisbane to come this Monday, the Hawks will enjoy five of six games at home, but the overall schedule remains unforgiving.

It does leave the prospect of a heavily back-ended home run down the stretch of the season.
