Hawks coach [[Allan Joyce]], who replaced an ill [[Allan Jeans]] for the 1988 season,said "I have never seen a more awesome, more inspiring passage of play than the 15-minute mark of the second quarter. I saw about a dozen Hawthorn players in a wave going down the field. It was a human chain, crashing through a desperate opposition and forcing the ball forward." |
