IRISH PLAYERS MARK O’Connor and Zach Tuohy enjoyed a brilliant return to Aussie Rules action as their Geelong side cruised to victory over Hawthorn by 61 points in the AFL this morning.

The AFL season resumed yesterday after a shutdown as a result of Covid-19 that lasted almost three months with Collingwood and Richmond playing out a 36-36 draw.

Geelong’s second-half masterclass meant they had no trouble in sweeping past Hawthorn 108-47 at the GMHBA Stadium with both Kerry’s O’Connor and Laois star Tuohy featuring in a game played behind closed doors.

They were in front 46-40 at half-time but opened up a 37-point advantage entering the final quarter to help set up a comfortable successs in what was Geelong player Patrick Dangerfield’s 250th game. Geelong lost out to GWS Giants in their opening match back in March and will meet Carlton next weekend in Round 3.
