It has been a weird round Roberto. Almost everything is the opposite. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Dees came back though. They’ve looked better in the second half so far.

HT
The Dees were better in that quarter but the Hawks still managed to increase their lead to 29 points heading into the main break. The Hawks have had only one more entry inside 50 but have had better entries resulting in more shots at goal. The Dees are still in this game they just need to make the most of their inside 50 entries.
Melbourne: 4.2.26

QT
Hawks dominate the first quarter and it shows on the scoreboard going into the break with a 27 point lead. Melbourne haven’t used the ball well at all. The Hawks have shown so far that they haven’t lost all of the old Hawthorn and can still play good football. Could this be another upset?
