Nick Holman keeps the Suns in it in game 150

A

By Andrew McGarry

The Suns are still coming! And there was a close moment where it could have been holding the ball, but they hit up Nick Holman in the left forward pocket. He kicks it, in game 150.

Five and a half minutes, 19 points.

Dylan Moore has four - and that should almost it

A

By Andrew McGarry

This quarter has been full of nearly moments for the Suns.

They nearly had a goal at the other end, but they are running out of energy, and the Hawks just burst down the corridor, and Jai Newcombe just kicks to grass, it runs for Dylan Moore who kicks the goal. The lead is back out to 25 points, and you sense that should be it.

Ben Long goes for his fifth - and misses

A

By Andrew McGarry

The clock is ticking, and the Suns need to take their chances.

Ben Long gets a mark - but his kick misses.

It's 19 points, a goal would have been so important there.

Mabior Chol soccers it for a point

A

By Andrew McGarry

The Hawks are just tackling and making life hard for the Suns to get the break.

They get it forward, and Mabior Chol soccers it from close range - it goes wide for a point. Nine minutes, 20 points.

Jed Walter kicks his second, the Suns narrow the gap

A

By Andrew McGarry

It's not over, folks!

The Suns are trying everything to get this lead back. Jai Murray gets the ball on the wing and chips perfectly to Jed Walter.

He kicks it, and the lead is 19 points.

Nick Holman misses a set shot

A

By Andrew McGarry

The Suns are coming again, Noah Anderson kicks long and hits Nick Holman.

He marks in game 150, the crowd is up and about - but Holman misses! Oh dear.

Josh Weddle misses on the run

A

By Andrew McGarry

The Hawks have the speed and the energy right now.

They broke down the right with a chain of handballs, and the ball goes to Josh Weddle, who kicks on the run but it drifts wide for a point.

Ben Long gets one back for the Suns

A

By Andrew McGarry

This task looks Herculean for the Suns right now.

They can only go a step at a time. They've taken the first, forcing a turnover and getting the ball to Leo Lombard who was held. Advantage was paid, and he gets it to Ben Long, who goes clear and kicks from about 50. It goes through!

The Suns get one back, it's 25 points.

Dylan Moore adds another and the Suns are nowhere

A

By Andrew McGarry

This is a formidable few minutes from the Hawks.

They are winning every clearance in sight, and every time they go forward they look like they will kick a goal.

Dylan Moore is next up, and he kicks another!

The lead is out to 31 points.

Macdonald does it again and the Hawks are breaking clear

A

By Andrew McGarry

It's on again! The Hawks are unstoppable, they flood forward, the ball comes back to Connor Macdonald, and he kicks it again.

In the Suns box, Damien Hardwick looks frustrated as hell. He knows this couple of minutes may have done for the game.

Suddenly Hawthorn leads by 25 points.

The Hawks are surging again

A

By Andrew McGarry

This has a familiar look to it.

The Hawks are surging, they are laying the tackles, forcing the errors, and taking the marks.

A kick forward on the burst found Mabior Chol deep ahead of Mac Andrew. He kicks the goal, and that is a frustrating one for the Suns.

A Suns error leads to the Hawks opener in the last term

A

By Andrew McGarry

Well, that was the nightmare for the Suns.

Sam Collins went for an early fly and missed, the Hawks surged, they went in the air again and this time Mac Andrew drops the mark.

It goes to ground, the ball funnels out and Connor Macdonald snaps the opener for the final term! Huge moment.

Huge game by Mac Andrew for the Suns

A

By Andrew McGarry

It's been a ripping contest so far, and in that third term the Suns looked gone before finding their feet.

In one case, however, it was finding their grip.

Mac Andrew has been taking a lot of marks - in fact he now has nine intercept possessions for the match, more than anyone else on the ground.

Does Nick Watson hold the key (or the wand?)

A

By Andrew McGarry

Wizard casts three spells so far! Matching the three goals in Darwin. Can he go for at least one more?

- Dylan

Dylan,

As we said beforehand, there was a good chance Watson would be among the goals at Carrara tonight.

You'd have to say, if he gets more than three more chances in the final quarter, the Hawks probably win.

So it's easy, the Suns just have to find a way to stop The Wizard.

3QT: Hawthorn 12.9 (81) leads Gold Coast 11.8 (74)

A

By Andrew McGarry

The Suns have got physical with the Hawks here at Carrara, and they are closing in!

Another burst, another kick to a contest, off hands and Christian Petracca grabs it and runs in to kick the goal.

A point to the Hawks leaves it as a seven-point margin at the final change!

What a quarter! Four goals apiece, and the Suns are still in it.

Who knows who's going to take this one. It's going to be one to watch.

Another miss from the Suns

A

By Andrew McGarry

They're hitting those repeat 50s the Suns.

This time it's to the right forward pocket for Jed Walter.

He kicks, and misses. Two goals in it!

Ben King misses from a difficult angle

A

By Andrew McGarry

The Suns are still coming, and Sam Clohesy bursts down the right wing and hits up Ben King in the pocket.

He kicks from a really difficult angle - and it misses.

13 points.

Ben Long answers for Gold Coast

A

By Andrew McGarry

Anything the Hawks can do, so can Gold Coast!

This time they go down the corridor, and Bodhi Uwland - who has been brilliant - steers the ball to Ben Long inside 50.

Long kicks it! We're back to 14 points.
