Quarter 1

00:00

Welcome to the MCG for the match between Hawthorn and the much improved Gold Coast. One late change for the Hawks with Cheney coming in to replace Birchall. The Suns are as named.

GOAL SUNS - Lynch with the handball over to Ablett, who kicks a worm burning goal. Scores are level.
