A solid win on the road saw the Hawks snap Port Adelaide’s three-game winning streak, and notch two successive wins in the process.

As is so often the case, the opening term can make or break the match, and the opener of Sunday's match was no different. The Hawks jumped out of the blocks, booting seven first quarter goals to take a 25-point lead into the first break.

The Hawks were able to generate 11 scoring shots to six through their domination at the clearances in the opening term. The Hawks cleared the ball 15 times to just 8 in the first, and won the contested possession count 36-25, which would have pleased Coach Alastair Clarkson.

The Hawks too, dominated the overall possession count in the opening term, gathering 100 disposals while limiting the Power to just 62. The Hawks capitalised on their domination by using their superior foot skills to set up teammates in space.

A disposal efficiency rating of 72 per cent, compared to Port’s 52 demonstrated that the Hawks’ ability to pressure their opponents was telling. Despite losing the tackle count 15-18 in the opener, it was how the Hawks laid their 15 tackles that was important.

Forward pressure came to the fore, as the Hawks forced the Port defence into a number of turnovers in their back 50. That set up scoring opportunities which helped the Hawks set up the win.

It was an even contest in the second and third quarters, with the Power winning the clearances after the first, 38 to 30, which enabled the Power to even up the contest. Despite this, the Hawks were able to keep the ball locked in their forward half for 87 per cent of game time 19 minutes into the third term to just 13 per cent.

Port’s defence held up well in the third, but the sheer weight of ball coming into the Hawks forward line that was too much in the end. The Hawks piled on six final quarter goals to round out the win, on the back of 56 inside 50s to 41 on the night.

Midfielder Brad Sewell played an integral role in the win, gathering 33 disposals, eight clearances and eight inside 50s to undoubtedly be the Hawks’ best. Not only did he hurt the power going forward, but he completely nullified Port’s Hamish Hartlett who had been in great form. Hartlett managed just 12 possessions at just 58 per cent efficiency.

Grant Birchall, Josh Gibson and Matt Suckling were at their best defensively and offensively, gathering 26, 24 and 20 disposals respectively. Those three players, who set up a number of attacks going forward are the key to the Hawks’ success, with neither of the trio running at below 81 per cent efficiency for the match.

What Alastair Clarkson said: “To get away to a good start, and try to get some early momentum was really important for the final result.

“We’ve been pleased with our last two weeks, but all you can do in this game is work hard week-to-week, and as boring as that is, we’ll just focus on Brisbane next week and keep on trying to notch up the wins."
