The Hawks midfield took an enormous scalp last Thursday night, overpowering Richmond where it mattered most.

We've taken a closer look to see who Alastair Clarkson is most commonly opting for to represent the Hawks at centre square bounces.

The numbers may surprise you.

Of the 19 centre bounces in the game, Tom Mitchell and James Worpel were most often on the scene for the Hawks, with both players attending 16 centre bounce stoppages.

Interestingly, midfielder Liam Shiels attended just two, with his premiership teammate Luke Breust even attending more with three to his name.
