the premiers, hawthorn hawks.
a bleak day for all geelong fans. the hawks deserved it though, considering how geelong were unable to capitalise on their chances.
overall, a win for the afl. a far far more exciting game than last year’s grand final. but to be fair, it is hard to beat last year’s lopsidedness.
one for the history books :
HAWTHORN 5.2 8.3 14.5 18.7 (115)
GEELONG 5.3 6.12 9.18 11.23 (89)
