Goal: Dogs keep their hopes alive
Buku Khamis boots truly for the Doggies. The margin is cut to 20 points. There’s still time if they’re good enough!
What will this result mean?
Actually, not much. In terms of ladder positions anyway. On the AFL’s live ladder (assuming a Hawks win), Hawthorn stay in sixth positon with a 8-5 record, while the Bulldogs stay ninth.
Goal: Ginnivan with a cheeky one!
That’s basically the sealer. Hawthorn by 27 points.
Ginnivan runs into an easy goal after taking a cuppla bounces. BUT he showboated, showing the opposition the ball on the way.
Great play Ginnivan. Plenty of talent in that.
Hawthorn 12.5 (77) lead Western Bulldogs 7.8 (50)
Goal: A Hawthorn major
Just when the Dogs looked likely to strike, enter the Hawks. Again.
Jarman Impey boots one after five minutes. Looks like the Doggies will have to boot at least four more goals than the Hawks to win from here. That’s tough.
A key tactical switch: Nash to the Bont
Sam Mitchell has made a major move, sending Conor Nash to tag Marcus Bontempelli. The Western Bulldogs’ skipper has been dominant tonight. Mitchell knows he must be curbed – if that’s possible – if the Hawks are to prevail.

Up and going in the final term
We have a game on our hands.
3QT: There’s the siren for the final break
And, yes, we have a contest. The Doggies can win this. The final 10 minutes of the third term were crucial.
A third-quarter moment
It’s amazing how the football gods work. Adam Treloar should have been paid a free kick for a push in the back when he took a running shot at goal. Minutes later, Rory Lobb won a free kick for a soft push in the back from Josh Weddle. Lobb converted. It was the time when the Dogs started to press.
