The Sydney Swans have gone down to Hawthorn by 89 points at ANZ Stadium on Saturday night.
The Hawks exploded out of the blocks with the only six goals of the first quarter and continued their dominance to notch the 23.8 (146) to 7.15 (57) victory.
The win lifts the reigning premiers above their opponents into third spot on the ladder and confirms their status as the team to beat for this year's premiership.
Usual suspects Luke Hodge, Sam Mitchell and Jordan Lewis all saw plenty of the ball, but Cyril Rioli stole the show with three goals and a couple of spectacular marks.
Jarryd Roughead returned to the side with a five-goal haul, while Jack Gunston booted three goals in the first-quarter onslaught on his way to four for the match.
The game was as good as over by quarter-time when the Hawks had six goals on the board and the shell-shocked Swans were yet to fire a shot.
Hawthorn kicked the first of the second term to make it seven in a row, before a Lance Franklin-inspired Swans roared to life.
Franklin booted three in a row - including his 700th career goal - as the Swans closed to within 18 points.
But the Hawks finished the half with two crucial late goals and when Rioli booted his second in the opening minute of the third term the margin was out to 36 points and there was no way back for the Swans.
Hawthorn continued the dominance for the rest of the match, booting seven goals in the third term and another six in the last to round off the super impressive victory.
Franklin finished the match with three goals, while Josh Kennedy, Dan Hannebery and Adam Goodes all had strong games through the midfield.
But on the whole it was a very disappointing night for the Swans with defender Ted Richards facing a nervous wait from the Match Review Panel after he was reported for a high bump on Mitchell in the first term.
