Geelong led by 20 points at three-quarter time only for the inaccurate Hawks (4.8 in the last quarter) to sweep to the front via Shaun Burgoyne's late goal.

Travis Varcoe had a chance in the last minute to level the scores but missed with his shot from 40m in open play.

Talking points from the game will include an eblow injury for Lance Franklin, a rolled ankle for Paul Puopolo and a big bump from Grant Birchall.
