A terrific second quarter from the Hawks sees them take a 13-point lead into the main break.<\/p>\n

The big story for the Hawks heading into half-time is the health status of Nick Watson, who was removed from the ground to have a concussion test after being involved in a big collision.<\/p>\n

Watson, who was quiet in the first quarter, was electric in the second, and if he’s ruled out for the rest of the match, it’ll be a massive blow to a Hawks forward line that is already without Jack Gunston.<\/p>\n

The Hawks kicked 5.3 to Adelaide’s 1.2 for the quarter and they’ve looked like scoring virtually every single time they’ve gone forward.<\/p>\n

Adelaide still holding leads in disposals (197-165), inside 50s (31-23) and clearances (20-19).<\/p>\n

Adelaide skipper Jordan Dawson is the leading ball-winner on the ground with 19 disposals, while Josh Ward leads the way for the Hawks with 12 touches.<\/p>\n

Crows big man Lachie McAndrew leads all players with six clearances, and also has three score involvements and two inside 50s.<\/p>\n

Work to do for Matthew Nicks during the main break. The Crows just haven’t been all that efficient going forward at all so far tonight.<\/p>\n

Riley Thilthorpe with just five touches in that first half, while Dan Curtin was held to just three. The Crows need both of them to get humming, and fast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nick Watson kicked two goals in the second quarter before he was removed from the ground for a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15828,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[395,404,77,12693,13503,6850,4292,4553,5247],"class_list":["post-15827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-adelaide","tag-adelaide","tag-adelaide-crows","tag-afl","tag-aussie-rules","tag-australian-rules","tag-hawthorn-hawks","tag-live-blog","tag-season","tag-tasmania"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15827"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15827\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
