THE LAST TIME THEY MET

In the end, it turned out to be a routine 35 point win to Hawthorn but for three quarters, Melbourne was the better side in a game ruined by poor umpiring.

They didn't even reward the obvious free kick to Kozzy who was tripped up in the goal square at a crucial stage of the game.
