Match report: Hawks thump Tigers, fly two wins clear on top
July 24, 2016 5:42 PM
SAM MITCHELL has celebrated his 300th AFL game with 38 possessions to lead Hawthorn to a 70-point win over Richmond on a cold and chilly afternoon at the MCG.
Although the Hawks had the better of general play for most of Sunday's game, it was not until Jack Gunston and Cyril Rioli kicked consecutive goals in a tick over a minute late in the third term that they got some genuine breathing distance over the Tigers.
Those two goals helped the Hawks take a 29-point lead into the final break and opened the floodgates for a nine-goal-to-two final quarter that carried them to a 16.18 (114) to 5.14 (44) victory and put them two games clear on top on the ladder.
