A record crowd packed into the MCG to watch Hawthorn advance to the semi-finals at the expense of the Western Bulldogs , but did the Hawks have an “unfair” advantage? The Hawks will travel interstate for a knock-out semi-final against Port Adelaide next week after running the Bulldogs ragged in the 14.15 to 9.8 victory in front of 97,828 fans — a new record for an elimination final.
“The way Hawthorn play is perfectly suited to this deck,” Richardson added. Fellow commentator James Brayshaw was quick to point out the massive crowd, which would not have been possible at Marvel Stadium, or any other venue for that matter. “The AFL takes all proceedings out of finals. 98,000 people here tonight, there is the answer to your question,” he said. Hodge added: “The spectacle is amazing, but I am thinking of Western Bulldogs supporters, who want to see their team keep playing.
