Half way through the third term, you’d have been forgiven for believing the Hawks were down and out against the Crows, facing a 32-point deficit against a side who registered 16 goals in the opening two and a half quarters, with only the one blemish.
However, an inspired fight back, led by Jaeger O’Meara in the engine room, saw the Hawks regain control and six goals six in the second half, compared to their opponent’s 2.1.
Young Jacob Koschitzke made his mark, with his five goal performance earning the attention of fans and locking in MVP honours for Round 6.
