Undermanned Hawthorn too good against Carlton
Brownlow Medal favourite Tom Mitchell has continued his barnstorming AFL season, leading undermanned Hawthorn to a 72-point demolition of lowly Carlton.
The Hawks looked vulnerable before Sunday's match at Docklands Stadium when Mitchell's midfield colleague Jaeger O'Meara added to their injuries.
He was a late withdrawal with a hip problem.
But the Blues were kept scoreless in the first term and the Hawks made sure there would be no repeat of yesterday's shock Gold Coast win over Sydney, easily winning 18.16 (124) to 7.10 (52).
Hawthorn will improve to eighth if Port Adelaide beat GWS.
Mitchell should score another three Brownlow votes after dominating with 46 disposals and two goals.
Luke Breust also went a step closer to All Australian selection, kicking five goals, and fellow forward Paul Puopolo kicked four — three of them in the last quarter.
First-year Hawk James Worpel made the most of his AFL recall with an impressive game in the midfield.
Apart from O'Meara's late withdrawal, the Hawks also suffered a massive blow last week when James Sicily was sidelined because of a broken wrist.
Ben McEvoy and Shaun Burgoyne are also injured and Cyril Rioli has retired.
But they kicked the first five goals on Sunday to ensure Carlton would never be in the hunt.
The one blight in a strong first quarter was when defender Daniel Howe belted Patrick Cripps in the opening minute.
Howe is certain to be suspended for the incident.
