QUARTER-TIME - West Coast 6.2 (38) lead Hawthorn 6.0 (36)

Wow, that was some quarter.

It looked headed for a massacre when Hawthorn jumped out to an early lead.

But  then the Eagles went bang, helped by the ruck dominance of Nic Naitanui.

Jarryd Roughead already has three for the Hawks, while Josh Kennedy has two at the other end.

This one is shaping as a classic.
