31:12
While the Hawks saved some face in the fourth quarter and showed some fight in the second, it was the other two quarters that ultimately undid them. In the first and third quarters, the Hawks did not kick a goal from an intercept possession, and could only manage two stoppage goals - which in the end was a deficit that Richmond capitalised on.
