Hawks outgun Cats

Hawthorn Hawks v Geelong Cats, AFL 2022 round 5 Ben Jensen GEELONG suffered their third loss of the season against Hawthorn at the MCG on Easter Monday, thanks to poor first and final quarters kicking just one goal between them after leading by twelve points at half time. The Hawks in contrast kicked goals in the final quarter reversing the three quarter time deficit to equal the Cats on three wins for the season sitting below the Cats on percentage only. Next Sunday the Cats play North Melbourne in Hobart with the Hawks also playing in Tasmania, on Monday (Anzac Day) in Launceston.
