Hawthorn won their 7th game in a row in this top of the table clash at Arden St to claim top spot by 3.9% from the Kangaroos. Hawthorn had trailed by 10 points at 3/4 time but a greater accuracy saw them win by 7 - 15.7.97 to 12.18.90 - with with 5 last quarter goals
Hawthorn 15.7 (97) (Goals: Matthews 6, McCarthy 3, Buckenara 2, DiPierdomenico, Kennedy, Brereton, Loveridge) defeated North Melbourne 12.18 (90) (Goals: Briedis 4, Phil Krakouer 3, McDonald 2, Hodgeman, Schimmelbusch, McCann)
It's odd for the time to see North leading with fewer goals. There were 342 VFL matches - including this one - played without a team winning with fewer goals between the corresponding round of 1982 and the fifth round of 1985

I know it's a North home game, but Brereton's mark deserved a bit more acknowledgement.
