Five lead changes in this quarter and Hawks v Geelong is living up to it’s billing as an Easter Classic.
Geelong fought back with the first three goals of the second quarter, before the Hawks kicked the next three.
The pressure is high and the quality players are coming to the fore with Nick Watson kicking a brilliant stoppage goal and Jack Ginnivan saving two goals with desperate efforts in – believe it or not – defence.
The Cats kicked seven goals that quarter and managed to open up a nine-point lead with a long goal after the siren to Shannon Neale, who, along with Jack Bowes, kicked two for the quarter.
The Hawks missed a couple of set shots and also completely blew a gilt-edged chance to goal when a mis-kick somehow saw the ball bounce in between four free Hawks inside 50.
The second half is shaping up as a ripper.
