Hawthorn put their first loss of the season to Glen Eira behind them as they annihilated Aquinas to the tune of 114 points at Aquinas College. Kicking 18.18 themselves, the Hawks allowed just 1.6 against in a supreme defensive effort. Ross McDermott top scored with three goals, while the Hawks boasted another five goal kickers with two each. Brendan Burke kicked the only goal for the 10th-placed Bloods.
UHS-VU delivered their second consecutive victory with a 30-point win against Albert Park at Brens Oval. Nick Devereux, Cheyne Kelly and Ben Ryan combine for six goals for the Vultures, while James Brick stood tall for the Falcons as their best player.

Euan Edwards kicked two goals for the ninth-placed Power House.
12 goals straight in the first half helped South Melbourne Districts to a 47-point victory against Canterbury at Lindsay Hassett Oval this afternoon.
