Last time we met
Geelong (127) def Hawthorn (45) in Round 4, 2023
Unfortunately, it was a bit of a day to forget for the Hawks this time last year, suffering an 82-point loss at the hands of the Cats.
It was a positive start to the game for the brown and gold though, leading at quarter-time and within striking distance at the main break.
However, it was all Geelong from there, outscoring Hawthorn by 15 goals to one to take home a convincing win.
Will Day claimed the Paul Dear Medal as the best Hawk afield with 22 disposals, eight tackles and four marks.
Luke Breust led the way on the scoreboard with three majors.
Our last game
Hawthorn (38) defeated by Melbourne (93)

Midfielder James Worpel battled hard for his team with an equal team-high 27 disposals to go with six score involvements and four tackles.
Young defender Josh Weddle was a shining light, venturing up forward to kick a goal to complement his 21 disposals and 10 marks.
Nick Watson was also able to get on the scoreboard for his first AFL major.
