Elimination Finals don’t come much better than that. After a Giant win on the road last week, the Hawks backed it up with a demolition of the Minor Premiers, winning by 34 points and teeing up a Preliminary Final against ~ you can’t script this ~ Geelong.

Daz, Julia, Ash, Weissy, Mora and — live from Adelaide — Mick Cowan caught up within 20 minutes of the final siren to celebrate the win and look forward to what promises to be another blockbuster clash against the Cats.🗣️ Key talking points:

* A dominant four-quarter performance with contributions from across every line.

* Jack Gunston’s best finals haul.

* The Adelaide experience courtesy of Mick.

* Sam Butler’s clutch cameo.

* Mr September Jai Newcombe.

* Josh Ward’s best season in brown and gold.

* Jack Scrimshaw is back.

* Josh Weddle’s all-action performance.

* Chol’s sneaky good game, despite not hitting the scoreboard.

* Is Gini under an injury cloud?

* Connor Macdonald and Dylan Moore bringing the energy.

* The looming prelim against Geelong – tantalising, or terrifying?
