Quarter 1

00:00

It's the last Saturday in September and scattered showers surround the MCG as we await first bounce between the best attacking team for 2013 in Hawthorn and the best defensive team in Fremantle.

01:05

McPharlin with no room to move as Burgoyne peels off half-back and thumps the ball towards centre wing where the ball is harassed out of play. Hot and quick footy early on. Brilliant.

02:25

Fremantle struggling to clear their defensive 50 before Sandilands nabs possession and shanks it to the left finding Birchall who spots up Puopolo who in turn goes to Gunston who's held. Free kick..

03:39

SCORE GOAL - Hawks (Jack Gunston)

03:40

GOAL HAWKS - He very rarely misses and Gunston ensures his reputation is kept intact as he steers it home from 30m out, with a slight angle to the right. Hawthorn look rather ominous early on.

05:05

Crowley is already getting under the skin of the vaunted Hawks midfield as Mitchell remains down in backplay with a free kick downfield being paid to Crowley. Not sure if he's been felled behind play?

06:25

Fremantle would be wise to settle for now as Fyfe has an opportunity to put points on the board but from just inside the 50m arc, he murders a set shot off his out-step. Out of bounds on the full.

07:27

SCORE BEHIND - Dockers (Hayden Ballantyne)

07:30

BEHIND DOCKERS - Ballantyne at his creative best as he sharks the spillage at the feet of Johnson before turning to release a snap shot across his body. From the left pocket, she stays wide left.

09:35

Now it's the Dockers turn to apply the pressure inside 50 as their forward press sees the ball being pinged under Smith. Close to being caught with it, the umpires wisely choose to let the boys play.
