Classy Hawks pull the plug on Power
July 7, 2016 10:32 PM
HAWTHORN has seen off a fast-finishing Port Adelaide outfit on Thursday night, extending their lead at the top of the ladder with a 22-point win at Adelaide Oval.
The Hawks led by 36 points in the final term but the Power surged late - kicking three quick goals to reduce the margin to 17 with almost four minutes to play.
They finished the game full of attack but ultimately it was a run left too late; Bradley Hill kicked a goal after the siren to cement the 15.11 (101) to 12.7 (79) win.
Hawks skipper Luke Hodge was a standout despite being booed with each of his 29 possessions after last year’s hit on Chad Wingard, while Jordan Lewis (25 disposals, two assists) and Cyril Rioli (three goals) were also hugely influential. Robbie Gray (29 disposals, two goals) and Matthew Broadbent (28 possessions)and Wingard (three goals) showed moments of brilliance to boot three goals.
