Following the Hawks' 51-point win over touted premiership contenders West Coast, Luke Breust believes Hawthorn can bounce back from their 1-4 start and push into finals contention.

"I still think that if we can play the footy that we did on Sunday, we are a genuine chance to beat any side in the competition," said Breust.

"We're obviously behind the ledger at the moment, but we can still get the wins on the board to make finals."
