Hawthorn's reserves took to the GWS headquarters to face the Giants in a scratch match on Saturday morning.

For many young Hawks, the game represented a chance to promote themselves ahead of the senior side's Round 7 clash against Melbourne.

For Jarman Impey, the game marked an important milestone as he made his return to the field after nearly a year on the sidelines with a knee injury.  

Ultimately, the Giants prevailed by seven points but the onlooking Hawks coaching staff would have been impressed by a number of Hawks yioungsters.
