Catch up: Our Round 16 win in pictures
This is O’Rourke’s first game since Rd 18, 2016 and his 10th overall in 4 years for Hawthorn. Good to see him out there, let’s hope he has a real impact tonight #AFLDogsHawks

Another lifelong bucket list item realised ✅ Calling for the 1st time with the great Bruce McAvaney, who I grew up admiring on @7AFL. Such a thrill. A special night... for ME at least! #AFLDogsHawks pic.twitter.com/3tGSBhSp5Y

How good is it to have the number 1 caller calling Saturday Night Footy #Bruce #7AFL #AFLDogsHawks

As controversial as Sicily is, he is an exceptional player. He is the pest of current day AFL and I love it #AFLDogsHawks

Not sure how I feel about this, but I’m kind of starting to enjoy what James Sicily brings to the table #AFLDogsHawks

.@HawthornFC Luke Breust is the Jason Dunstall of small forwards. No fuss. Consistent. Kicks goals. Team first. Kicked 4 in the first quarter, #AFLDogsHawks
— peter ryan (@petryan) July 7, 2018
Anyone ever seen Luke Breust ruffled or a hair out of place? Starting to think he could be a robot. #AFLDogsHawks #Star
— Brett Thomas (@Sports_Brett) July 7, 2018
Luke Breust’s form this year has definitely softened the blow of not having Cyril available. Should be the first small forward picked in the All Australian team #AFLDogsHawks

Bruce: “... and that kick from Sicily”.

Great effort there by Sicily. Stud. #AFLDogsHawks

Is there anything more frustrating than a free kick based on reputation and not the act itself? #Sicily #AFLDogsHawks

Just seen the Sicily 50. The Bulldogs player ran into him so how is that 50????? #AFLDogsHawks pic.twitter.com/RZHvFgjULg

Breust is such a gun! So classy. A bit like Higgins and Burgoyne. Should he be playing in the midfield more? #AFLDogsHawks
— Mark Ciavarella (@civa4) July 7, 2018
Jono O'Rourke and Roarke Smith playing in the same game should not be confusing me as much as much as it is #AFLDogsHawks

Just turned on the footy and find it so odd that Bruce McAvaney is commentating it a Saturday night game for the first time since 2001. This has be "Special". #AFLDogsHawks

Why was the umpire telling Howe to “move the ball on” when he was having a set shot and then called play on during the run up? Extraordinary. #AFLDogsHawks

What kind of run is that from @J_Sicily? Takes on half of the Bulldogs line-up and then hits up Gunner inside 50. #AFLDogsHawks #GameFaceOn

Luke Breust 24 touches, 6 goals, 13 score involvements, 6 marks, 15 contested possessions (equal most on ground), 7 tackles, most pressure acts for Hawthorn.
— Anthony Gilberg (@AnthonyGilberg) July 7, 2018
Not sure you can get a more complete small forwards game than that.
Won’t get the accolades but Ricky Henderson has been an outstanding ROI as a delisted FA. Has been an enormous help for @Issie16 #AFLDogsHawks
