It helped that skipper Jai Newcombe threaded a classy 40m drop punt right on the siren.The Hawks handed up three of the first four goals to the hard-tackling Suns, before wrestling back moment and kicking five straight. Dylan Moore kicked two for the quarter and there were singles to Mitch Lewis, Blake Hardwick, Nick Watson and Newcombe.Damien Hardwick will be perplexed. The Suns started on fire, bringing the heat and laying heavy tackles. Then they went missing.8.07pmWizard weaves some magicBy Nick Watson has kicked a beauty, and the Hawks lead by 16 points as we close in on quarter time.Will Day has been on fire in the midfield, giving the Hawks much-needed drive. He won the ball in congestion at halfback, wove his way through traffic and then drove the ball long. Day’s kick cleared the Hawthorn forwards and Watson was able to turn and win the foot race. He collected the ball at full pace, slammed it on his boot and watched it dribble through the big sticks as he was dragged to the ground.The Hawks 5.5 (35) lead the Suns 3.1 (19)8.05pmHawks nail three straightBy Hawthorn have kicked three straight goals to grab the lead.After the Suns held the edge across the first 15 minutes of the opening term, jumping to a two goal advantage, Hawthorn have suddenly found their mojo.Mitch Lewis took a strong one-handed mark running back with the flight of the ball before nailing a 55-metre set shot.

He looks to be OK.They have also cleared Massimo D’Ambrosio to return to the field after a check-up.While all this was going on, the Suns booted their third goal. And what a beauty from Leo Lombard.It was a 60-metre drop punt from the edge of the centre square.Suns 3.1 (19) lead Hawks 1.1 (7)7.49pmSicily brain fade costs HawksBy James Sicily has given away a costly 50-metre penalty. What a brain fade.It looked to be for umpire dissent. He was standing the mark on the boundary line after Ben Long took a fine grab, but couldn’t help himself and kept having words with the umpire.He seemed to be complaining that the ball had cleared the boundary line before Long took the mark.The umpire wasn’t having any of it. As a result, Long was taken the goal square and kicked an easy goal.7.42pmThe Suns are off to a flyerBy We are underway on the Gold Coast and the Suns have nailed a goal in the first 30 seconds.They won the ball from the centre square (something that will annoy Sam Mitchell), smashed the ball forward and Bailey Humphrey collected the Sherrin off the deck and snapped truly.It was a bit unlucky for the Hawks. Midfielder Will Day was pinged for holding the ball, allowing Noah Anderson to take the free kick and send the ball into attack.Already the ground conditions look greasy. The ball has slipped out of a few players’ hands, and there are a few divots in the playing surface. This will suit the Suns, you would think.7.37pm‘The Wizard’ has been given a licence to roamBy Sam Mitchell says star forward Nick Watson has a free rein to play through the Hawthorn midfield.But the Hawthorn coach shrugged his shoulder when asked on Kayo Sports about the Wizard’s specific role.Nick Watson warms up for the Gold Coast clash.AFL Photos“I’ve got no idea what Nick’s doing, to be honest,” Mitchell said.“The thing about most forwards is they want to be mids.7.30pm‘Small things get blown up’: HardwickBy Damien Hardwick has dismissed speculation that all is not well within the Gold Coast camp.Suns players such as star forward Ben King have been at the centre of trade talk following the club’s three straight losses.Suns coach Damien Hardwick looks frustrated during their loss to Geelong.Getty ImagesCommentators also highlighted unrest between the players during their loss to Geelong.“That’s what happens when you lose three in a row – the blowtorch moves and that’s the reality of AFL sports,” Hardwick said on Kayo Sports.7.21pm‘Remember what it’s like to be hit’By We can expect some physicality tonight, following Sam Mitchell’s pre-match interview.The Hawthorn coach revealed his side were given a “few reminders” when they returned to training following their bye week and a narrow loss to the Western Bulldogs.“[There was a] bit of revision of things that are important to us, and a bit of physicality at training, making sure you remember what it’s like to hit and be hit,” Mitchell told Fox Footy.Mitchell said the Hawks also wanted to improve their output from the centre square.“We are struggling to score from our centre-bounce wins, and we’re conceding quite a lot from that source,” the Hawks coach said.“So we’ve done a bit of work on that, and total scores against, particularly from stoppage, have been an issue. So there’s a couple of things to refine there, but our ball movement and things have been okay.”1 of 2
