10. 2013 Grand Final (Hawthorn 11.11 77 def. Fremantle 8.14 62)

A tight contest that at times was not the prettiest of viewing as the Hawks won an arm-wrestle in 2013. The Dockers kicked one goal in the first half and appeared overwhelmed by the occasion, playing in the clubs first grand final. A stirring third quarter from Fremantle meant it was all to play for in the final quarter. In the end, the Hawks held their nerve and won the first of their three-peat of flags.
