WITH less than a minute remaining in the quarter, Hawthorn looked set to kick its seventh goal of the term against Melbourne when Luke Hodge took a mark 20m out from goal at the MCG.

Hodge handballed over the top to teammate Jordan Lewis in the goal square for what looked to be a certain goal.

Unaware that Ricky Petterd was sprinting at him, Lewis casually wandered in to goal only to be smothered by Petterd in an effort not seen since Heath Shaw's famous chase down of Nick Riewoldt in last year's Grand Final replay.

Hawthorn lead by 25 points at half-time.
