AFL 2025 opening round LIVE updates: Hawk star shines but Swans soar back into the contest

Nick Blakey has pushed forward again and the Swans found him in stride and he took the handball and booted the goal from 55 metres out.

The Swans fans who turned him painted as lizards, Blakey’s nickname, are celebrating.

“The lizard army are dancing in the stands,” Whateley said.

The Fox experts did a good job of showing how Blakey was allowed to run forward while his man, Chol, remained up forward by using the down the ground camera angle.

“How does Chol feel now?” Garry Lyon asked rhetorically.

“The Hawks coaches will be fuming.”

Hawks 75, Swans 71 with three mins to go in Q3.
