Geelong lead by 7 points. Port better find someone to play on Hawkins or they'll get slaughtered.

And Hawkins, again. He has the game's entire score (2.1 to 0), so far.

I am barracking for Port on the night - but it is concerning that Geelong are off a 4-day break and Port have had two more days rest (Saturday versus Monday games) but Port is the slower team out of the blocks.

Early in Q2, Geelong 21-2 Port.

Port now have a goal - b ut Hawkins had just kicked his third. Geelong by 18 points.

Cats lead 27-12 at HT.

Hawkins has his 4th. Port seemed determined to keep playing their undersized spud wearing 17 on Hawkins, come what may. The guy has no idea how to play in defence. Geelong lead 36 to 12. Hawkins has 4 of the 6 goals scored in the game so far by both teams.

Port have a second. They trail 19 to 36.

49 to 19. Hawkins has 5.

I tipped the Cats. Port overrated?

Hawkins has 6. Geelong lead by - wait for it - 36 points.

The only thing I can put it down to is that Port got ahead themselves after that great performance against Richmond. Plus their defenders looked a bit scrawny next to Hawkins, I'd hope Roughhead or Dunny could match it with him.

Lions lead the Roos 45-27 early in the last quarter.

In the end, a near miss by the Roos.

Lucky escape for Brisbane.

Carlton is one-thirteenth of Freo's score, at the moment.

Carlton now one twentieth of Freo's score. Could be a good night.
