After ten consecutive wins, the Hawthorn Spartans suffered their first loss for the season against top four side Richmond Cardinals. Hawthorn paid the price for a poor second quarter kicking only four behinds to 4.1 by Richmond and although the Spartans kept the opposition to three points after half-time they squandered their opportunities through inaccuracy in front of goal kicking 1.5 for the term.

After half-time the Richmond side took advantage of the situation and attacked the ball with hunger, intensity and numbers running out easy winners by 24 points.

Final Score: Richmond Cardinals 9.9.63 Def. HAFC 4.15.39
Goal kickers: C.Terzoglou (2), T.Vlahos (1), A.Mitropoulos (1)
Best Players: N. Criticos, J.Handford, C.Terzoglou, C.Armatas, J.Rieve, W.Ioannidis

The Hawthorn Spartans, home at the Rathmines Street Oval (Melway ref: 45 G10), will get their opportunity to redeem themselves against another top four side Old Geelong, with the game starting at 9.20 am this Saturday.
