Eight Grand Finals, seven flags, a curse, kicks after the siren, countless comebacks and close games: Hawthorn v Geelong. No other sides have captured the imagination of the wider footy public since the year 2000.
Older generations remember the 1989 epic GF wherein Mark Yeates knocked out Dermott Brereton at the opening bounce. 2008 was the Cats’ year that Hawthorn stole from them via good kicking at goal and some Stewie Dew magic. And Geelong supporters will never let Isaac Smith live down the wry smile he had on his face before he missed the goal after the siren in the 2016 qualifying final.
The Easter Monday clash at the MCG will, as always, be one of the biggest draw cards for the year. Despite losing to GWS, Geelong look like the team to beat early in the season and Hawthorn have been re-energised by the additions of Tom Scully and Chad Wingard.

Make sure you are have Medallion Club Hawthorn v Geelong tickets for this big match.The Cats’ incredibly deep midfield of Dangerfield, Selwood, Kelly, Duncan, Menegola, Ablett, Parfitt and Constable will take it up to the pinpoint accurate Hawks with their spread across the wide ground.
