GRANT Birchall has declared Hawthorn's 4-1 start to the season a "good result" as the club builds toward a fourth-consecutive finals appearance.

The Hawks were dealt a horror draw to start the season, but since losing to Geelong in Round 1 have defeated four 2012 finalists: West Coast, Collingwood, Fremantle and North Melbourne.

Alastair Clarkson's men only just got over the line against the Kangaroos on Sunday evening, but considering the club's 2-3 start to the season last year Birchall said the Hawks were just happy to get the win.

"Last year we could have lost the game I'd say, but to get the four points when we didn't play particularly well is a good sign,'' Birchall said.

The defender said the Hawks are happy with their first month.

"To be 4-1 after five games with the draw we've had is a pretty good result,'' Birchall said.

"The boys are feeling confident, feeling pretty good about themselves. We just try to get the wins each week and keep on backing up leading up until the back end of the season.''

Birchall said he was confident rugged midfielder Brad Sewell would be fit to play Adelaide at AAMI Stadium on Saturday.

"He'll be fine for this week. He was about 50-50 yesterday to play so he'll be fine and ready to go."
