EIGHT IN A ROW AS FREO GO TOP OF THE LADDER.
Incredible finish to an incredible game it looked Hawthorn had Freo’s measure when Gunston kicked his sixth but the Dockers and particularly Luke Jackson went to another level.
He went on a rampage to finish with 22 touches, 18 contested, seven clearances, nine score involvements and five inside 50s.

Hawthorn have to push forward but it leaves them exposed on the coutner and Young flies for the mark and gets the free.
