Best moment at the game yesterday, the G was rocking! Look how many bodies we have inside 50 compared to norf, we ran out the game very well.

As someone who never makes way too early declarations, I will say CJ Jiath is going to be All Australian#aflhawksnorth

Matchwinning move from Sam Mitchell in #AFLHawksNorth was shifting Jaeger O'Meara from his totally unsuited half forward role and putting him in the guts, swapping with Jai Newcombe who actually has forward craft.
