Hawthorn Hawks Fall Short in AFL Semi-Final

The Hawthorn Hawks endured a heartbreaking loss in the AFL semi-final against Port Adelaide, narrowly missing out on a spot in the preliminary final. The match, held at Adelaide Oval, saw Port Adelaide emerge victorious with a score of 11.9 (75) to Hawthorn's 11.6 (72).

Despite a strong comeback in the final quarter, the Hawks were unable to overcome the deficit. Hawthorn's captain, James Sicily, had a crucial moment in the dying stages of the game, but his set-shot attempt hit the post, denying the Hawks a potential win.

Key performances for the Hawks included Nick Watson, who scored three goals and continued to impress in his first finals series. Jai Newcombe and Jack Scrimshaw also stood out, with Newcombe delivering a solid four-quarter performance and Scrimshaw being instrumental in defense.

The match was marked by intense pressure and physicality from both teams, with Port Adelaide's midfield and young players making significant contributions to their victory. The Power will now face Sydney in the preliminary final.
