Wet conditions greeted the Hawks players as they arrived for their match vs the Magpies on Queens Birthday Monday holiday at Magpies sports ground. This match was in place of the washed out Round 1 fixture. The game started with scrappy play in the first 10 minutes before the Hawks clicked into gear to slam on 5 goals to 0 for the quarter. Joshy Donovan was up and about early taking some nice marks in the wet condtions and kicking a couple of goals. The match continued in similar fashion for the remainder of the match with the Hawks kicking 4 goals in the 2nd, 5 in the 3rd and 3 in the last to run run out 99 point winners. Jason Garrett at half forward was consistant across the 4 quarters, Mitch Bessell roving was never far from the action, Matty Harris back into the team at CHB was rock solid while Desy Hayes and Brad Smith rotating between the forward line and midfield were good also. A pleasing sign was all players contributed especially after 8 players had played rep footy on the Saturday/Sunday.
