Hawthorn held a match simulation on Thursday, with players split evenly across two teams.
We did a live tweet coverage on the day, and in case you missed it, here's how the action unfolded from start to finish.

Great discipline from the youngster.
Sis doing Sis things.

Getting perfectly in the way of consecutive entries from the opposition side.

The Lynch-Reeves match-up is just a fascinating one to watch.

Two ruckmen with different strengths going at it.
Tom Mitchell getting plenty of it.

Sky is blue also.
Koschitzke a big presence early.
— Hawthorn FC (@HawthornFC) February 16, 2022
Two big grabs on the grandstand side wing.
Powerful.
Anyone that suggests players don’t go hard in intraclubs need to watch this contest right now.

Relentless tackling, smashing bodies, no going easy.
Jai Newcombe acts a bit like he won’t get fed unless he aggressively tackles every player on the opposition side.
— Hawthorn FC (@HawthornFC) February 16, 2022
Harry Morrison kicks his first goal of the day. He’s been in some great touch of late.

Dimma Hardwick reads the play to perfection cutting it off on his side’s F50 arc and then instantly delivering to Gunston who goals.

Mitch Lewis has his first. That’s nine in two weeks. (8+1!)
— Hawthorn FC (@HawthornFC) February 16, 2022
Moorey boots another. Bloke can’t stop kicking goals.

Jeka rocking a glove today.
— Hawthorn FC (@HawthornFC) February 16, 2022
Ned Long sends a thumping kick home.
— Hawthorn FC (@HawthornFC) February 16, 2022
He’s showing a good knack of being able to hit the scoreboard as a midfielder.
Worps has had a great presence inside the contest all day today.
— Hawthorn FC (@HawthornFC) February 16, 2022
Generating a lot of forward movement for his side.
The number 5 finds his mate Mitch Lewis for another snag for the tall forward.

Reeves tap 🤚
— Hawthorn FC (@HawthornFC) February 16, 2022
Mitchell rove 🤲
Gunston mark and goal 🙌
Very slick work from the centre clearance.
The more you watch Harry Morrison, the more you question whether he is left or right-footed.
— Hawthorn FC (@HawthornFC) February 16, 2022
Connor Macdonald has a lot of time for a bloke inside his first pre-season.
— Hawthorn FC (@HawthornFC) February 16, 2022
Rarely seems flustered. Seriously neat skills too.
Sam Butler with a brilliant crumb off hands, gives it to Macdonald who sends a piercing ball inside 50 to Jeka.
— Hawthorn FC (@HawthornFC) February 17, 2022
Jeka’s shot is slightly left but wasn’t the build-up delish!
Coast to coast movement sees Seamus Mitchell the beneficiary.
— Hawthorn FC (@HawthornFC) February 17, 2022
One goal for the club’s younger S.Mitchell.
