Both sides are doing well to nullify the strengths of their opposition.

Q2 is now underway.
02:14
SCORE
GOAL - GIANTS (James Peatling)
02:25

BEHIND - Hawks (Dylan Moore)
06:36
Dylan Moore has three disposals inside forward 50, the second-most of any player in the ground, with all of them resulting in a shot on goal. He has been ineffective though, kicking two behinds and failing to score with his other kick, a far cry from the five goals he kicked last week.

SCORE
GOAL - Hawks (Jack Gunston)
08:30

GOAL - GIANTS (Aaron Cadman)

In a low-scoring first half Aaron Cadman kicks his second goal of the second quarter. The Giants have scored from 35 per cent of their inside 50s, while Hawthorn has scored from 50 per cent of its 16 entries, yet the Giants efficiency in front of goal has been telling, kicking a goal from 25 per cent of their entries compared to the Hawks 13 per cent.

SCORE
GOAL - GIANTS (Brent Daniels)
