It was good, until it wasn’t.
The Hawks looked prime time in the first half, converting their opportunities on the back of incredible performances from gun forwards Jack Gunston and Nick Watson, but the well ran dry in the second, with only 14 points scored across the third and fourth combined.
Danny Prins, Andrew Weiss and Darren Levin worked their way through this one, immediately after the conclusion of the match, and you could tell. The raw emotion and disappointment to start, the
realisation that the sky isn’t falling by the end. This one was a rollercoaster and we hope you enjoy the ride.

Prinsy off the long run on the Max Ramsden selection.
Long and high to a contest on the wing. Rinse and repeat.
Who stood up? Who played their role? Who struggled?
Gunston and Watson are unreal.
Does Dylan Moore need a week at Box Hill to refresh, ala Ginni last year?
Missing TB and who will come in to replace him
Immediate reaction to Gunston in a moonboot. Not great.
Where does this leave us, and is it panic stations?
Plenty, plenty more…

While disappointed with how we finished I'm now more bullish than I've been all year after that game. That brand on display and sheer quality (against the best going around) in the first half was very very good. Plenty to work on but glass half full here.
Hopefully Dear Chol ready next game more pressure up forward better at the MCG
