AFL Round 13 Hawthorn vs GWS Giants, West Coast vs North ...

Incredible, incredible game this.

Connor MacDonald capitalises on a ball up about 65m out from the Hawks goal.

MacDonald swoops up on a loose ball and then absolutely BURNS the chasing Lachie Whitfield before slotting it on the run.

Terrific stuff from the youngster. It's absolutely thrilling stuff in Launceston at the moment.

Oh boy, that Dear moment might cost the Hawks dearly.

The Giants take a bit of a risk and it pays off, and Ryan Angwin gets on the end of it to put his side back in front by a point.

That goal comes barely a minute after Dear's touch on that Weddle goal attempt.

Still 12 minutes left on the clock.

Josh Weddle at the double, but hang on!

Credit to this goal has to go to Blake Hardwick, whose brilliant intercept at the opposite end of the ground allowed the Hawks to turn defence into attack in an instant.

The ball eventually ends up Weddle's hands and he looks like he's drilled a brilliant goal from outside 50 but Calsher Dear has attempted to take an uncontested mark on the goal-line and gotten his hand on the ball.

Big break for the Giants.

What on earth is this game at the moment?!

Calsher Dear's set shot falls short and the Hawks do well to keep the ball alive in the goalsquare.

The ball falls to Chol, who decides to basically scissor kick it while mid-air and misses. That would've been some goal if he was able to pull it off.

Jack Gunston can't help but smile in the square. This match has well and truly come alive.

This match is being played at breakneck speed at the moment.

There have been a total of 17 disposals between the two teams in the first two and a half minutes of the fourth quarter for four goals.

Incredible stuff.

Luke Breust with the latest after a typically excellent set shot,

Hawthorn's goalkicking woes from the first half a distant memory now.

Xavier O'Halloran continues to wreak havoc inside 50!

The Giants star once again reads the ball perfectly at the front of a pack close to goal, and snaps one through on the left in heavy traffic.

Following a ball up inside the Giants' 50 just about a minute later, O'Halloran once again gets on the end of it and this time snaps it through on his right.

That's a career-high for O'Halloran, and out of nowhere, the Giants have hit the front again.

Mabior Chol is having an absolute blinder, and he's got his fingerprints all over this goal.

Chol does a brilliant job to keep the ball alive and dishes it off to a teammate who finds Josh Weddle deep inside 50.

Weddle goes back and snaps truly from close range and it's a nine-point Hawks lead now.

Just one more quarter to go in Launceston, and it's anyone's game!

Hawthorn with all the momentum here. What do the Giants have left in the tank?

What a game this is!

Six goals from Hawthorn in the third quarter and the Hawks take a three-point lead into the final change.

It could've been more, but Jiath drilled a tough set shot into the post with 30 seconds left in the quarter.

The Giants have been guilty of a few second-half fadeouts already this season, and they'll have to arrest this slide to avoid another one.

Just one thing to note - Tom Green held to just two disposals in that quarter after 17 in the first half.

Sam Mitchell said his side was flat at half-time, but they're certainly flat no more!

The Hawks are suddenly first to every single 50-50 ball.

After kicking the previous goal, MacDonald sets up a leading Chol this time, who makes no mistake on his set shot.

Hawthorn hits the front for the first time since half way through the first quarter.

Connor MacDonald cuts the Giants' lead to just four points!

GWS looking to exit their defensive 50 with an aggressive kick through the middle that's chopped off by Mabior Chol.

The ball immediately goes down the other end and MacDonald kicks the easiest of goals from inside the square.

The match is really in the balance at the moment, and the Giants have been able to wrestle back some of the momentum.

A couple of poor shots on goal letting Hawthorn off the hook.

First, Jake Riccardi hits the behind post and then Finn Callaghan sprays one on the run.

GWS clinging to a 10-point lead at the moment. The heat is on in Launceston.

Sam Taylor is LIVID with this call!

Jack Gunston takes a mark on the lead 55m out and then feigns a handball and Taylor, who is manning the mark, moves off the line and the umpire has no option but to award the 50.

Gunston kicks his third of the afternoon to keep the Hawks in touch.

Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell has used his sub, with big man Ned Reeves subbed off with a back injury.

Luke Breust comes on as the substitute, and could cause a bit of havoc up forward here.

Already without Lloyd Meek, the Hawks will have to ruck by committee in the second half.

The Giants once again are able to hit the scoreboard against the run of play!

Some brilliant ground work from Toby Bedford deep in the Giants' 50 as he scoops the ball up in traffic and dishes it off to Xavier O'Halloran who floats it home on his non-preferred left boot.

Some breathing space again for Adam Kingsley's men.

Oh boy, this is very, very sloppy from the Giants!

Cal Ward attempts to rush a ball through in congestion, but makes a bit of a lazy effort and Jack Gunston sneaks his toe in and claims the goal.

The soft call is a behind, but the video replay shows Gunston got the final touch on the ball.

Suddenly the Giants' lead down to just eight points and all the momentum is with the Hawks.

Terrific stuff from Gunston, just a never-say-die attitude from the veteran forward.

Adam Kingsley will be disappointed with this goal!

It's a Mabior Chol set shot that falls well short, but Calsher Dear marks the footy and slots the set shot from close range.

That Hawks goal comes shortly after Giants skipper Toby Greene's first major of the afternoon.

Game still well and truly on here in Launceston.

Some more bad news for the Magpies, with Tom Mitchell to be sidelined for six to eight weeks.

The reigning premiers have just had the most wretched injury luck so far this season.

Changkuoth Jiath kicks truly from a set shot to give Hawthorn the all-important first goal of the third quarter.

The Giants thought they'd trapped Jiath holding the ball in the middle of the ground, but the umpire awards a holding the man free kick against Kieran Briggs.

Thinking it's their free kick, the Giants go forward and give away a 50m penalty after the whistle.

That's a massive goal.
