Hawthorn bounced back strongly from consecutive defeats, overpowering a struggling West Coast side by 50 points at Marvel Stadium. Led by the unlikely hero Mabior Chol and veteran Jack Gunston, the Hawks overcame early inaccuracy to dominate the contest, winning 18.16 (124) to 11.8 (74). Despite the convincing victory, the night was marred by injuries to Jack Scrimshaw and Karl Amon, both ruled out with head injuries. Chol was a standout, kicking three goals and taking a spectacular hanger over Oscar Allen, while Gunston added four goals of his own. As Hawthorn rediscovered their form, West Coast continued to battle through a winless season, showing glimpses of fight but ultimately falling away under sustained pressure.

Port Adelaide didn’t just show up—they exploded. From the first bounce, it was clear they were playing with something to prove. Within a quarter and a half, the Hawks were buried under a tidal wave of pressure, speed, and precision. By the time the scoreboard showed a 71-point margin, the contest looked like a massacre in motion. It wasn’t just a response to criticism—it was a statement. A reminder. This is what Port can do when they’re fired up, when their midfield is humming, and when the doubters give them fuel. For a fleeting moment, Hawthorn rallied, teasing the impossible. But Rioli’s cheeky response to a rough hit—booting the ball into the Barossa—signalled the end. The Power were home, and they’d done it in emphatic style.
