The Eagles were left goalless in the first term, while the Hawks kicked four majors. Josh Kennedy started the trend in the second quarter followed by another two answered goals by Jack Darling and Jack Redden, but they struggled to catch the Hawks.

Josh Gibson was outstanding for the Hawks with a career high 44 disposals and his first goal for Hawthorn. Cyril Rioli and James Sicily were impressive in front of goals kicking four majors apiece.
