The Kangaroos will face off with the Hawks for the second time this season, with Sunday's Kids Go Free clash at Marvel Stadium next on the agenda.

Despite looking lively early, Brett Ratten's side found itself greatly on the back foot at quarter-time against the Cats in Round 17, with the home side eventually claiming a 62-point win. However, Round 18 shapes as another opportunity for the Roos, who have a chance to snap their losing streak in front of their home crowd.

Here's everything you need to know for Sunday in this week's gameday guide.
