So how do you beat the Hawks, Gerard?

Do you beat them?

This disconnected forward, I think we're all starting to call that now.

And they do it differently with Hartwick, but he's still doing the role.

So how do you stop that?

And I heard Bevo talk about, well, they had 68 uncontested marks in the first half.

And in the second half, they kept them to 32.

So there's a bit of a correction there about their uncontested mark game.

But I think when the Hawks go quick and they go at you,

in particular through the corridor, then that disconnected forward, he comes into play.

So it doesn't matter who it is.

Gunston still plays it better than anyone else.

So I thought they went to work with that for most of the night.

We didn't really see that, Cain, did we?

From a Hawks point of view, I think they kicked one or two goals from the back half.

So everything had to be front half for the Hawks.

And that makes it a little bit harder to get those easy marks inside 50s.

You know, the one-on-one players, it becomes more congested.

So from a coaching point of view, I thought that's how you got to go to school to beat Hawthorne.

It's not about the matchup.
