And so, 24 hours after we thought we were getting it, the first game of the 2025 AFLM season is in the books; Hawthorn making an opening round statement by marching onto the SCG and defeating Sydney by 20 points in a highly entertaining contest. Our match report will be with you soon.
I’ve been Joey Lynch and it’s been a pleasure to have your company across the evening. Thanks and success and, if you’re up in Queensland and Northern NSW, stay safe.

Two injuries to worry about for the Hawks coming out of this one, with the most fear held for James Worpel after a potentially serious looking syndesmosis injury forced him out of the game in the second-quarter. He later emerged to watch the game wearing a moon boot. Will Day, meanwhile, battled cramp as the game wore on but should be right for next week.
For the Swans, the troublesome hamstring of Taylor Adams may have reared its ugly head once more, with the midfielder likely to require scans in the coming days.
