Our last game
Hawthorn (82) defeated by GWS Giants (84), Round 21, 2024.
Hawthorn led the Giants from the get-go, dominating the first three terms and forcing the Giants into a slow ball game.
The likes of Sam Frost and Blake Hardwick were everywhere in defence, regularly deflecting or intercepting inside 50 as a result of the disciplined defensive set-up.
The Hawks led by as much as 28 points, but the Giants’ seven-goal final quarter allowed them the win.
Hawthorn's outside run was game-breaking, with Josh Weddle (14 disposals, one goal) and Massimo D'Ambrosio (22 disposals, two goals) the architects, while Jai Newcombe (30 disposals, 11 clearances) was in total control at stoppages.
Veteran Jack Gunston finished with four goals, while D’Ambrosio and Mabior Chol managed two.
