AFL round four 2026, scores, results, odds, stats and start time from the MCG in Melbourne
There were five changes this quarter and Hawks v Geelong lives up to its billing as an Easter Classic.
Geelong responded with the first three goals of the second quarter before the Hawks scored the next three goals.
The pressure is high and quality players stand out; Nick Watson scores a superb centre-back goal and Jack Ginnivan – believe it or not – saves two goals with desperate efforts in defence.
The Cats kicked seven goals in that quarter and managed to take a nine-point lead after the siren with a long goal from Jack Bowes along with Shannon Neale, who scored twice in the quarter.
The Hawks missed several set shots and also completely squandered a crucial scoring opportunity when an errant shot saw the ball bounce between four loose Hawks inside the 50-point area.
The second half is shaping up like a predator.
