1. Exposed bolts leave Roughead with a sore back
When Hawthorn star Jarryd Roughead kicked his third goal late in the third quarter he was pushed over the line by Swan Dane Rampe and slid into the fence. The big Hawk immediately grabbed his lower back and we soon found out why. Television cameras zoomed in and showed four bolts sticking out of the concrete area in front of the fence, and revealed a large tear in Roughead's jumper and scratches on his back. Not a great look and not ideal for the safety of the players. The problem was seemingly fixed at three-quarter time when an event staff member placed a mat across the bolts. 

2. Does Sam Mitchell have a short memory?
The Hawks star has had his fair share of attention in recent weeks thanks to his method of protecting himself from opposition players. So it was strange to see Mitchell so irate after Swans midfielder Luke Parker did something similar with ball in hand in the second term. Parker jumped in the air, took possession of the footy, and extended his foot at the Hawthorn tackler. Mitchell obviously didn't like it and remonstrated with Parker at the next stoppage of play. Not sure if Sam was angry with Parker or the fact that he used his technique. 

3. Who can the Swans find to help Buddy?
The premiers belted the Swans, but Lance Franklin did give them some hope of a miracle comeback in the second quarter. The three-time Coleman medallist kicked three in three minutes to spark the home side, but they just didn't have another forward on the ground that looked dangerous at all. Buddy finished with three, and was the only Swan with multiple goals. Kurt Tippett had a night to forget, finishing the match on the bench with a sore wrist after failing to take a mark and not troubling the scorers. On the flip side, the Hawks had options everywhere, with Jarryd Roughead booting five, Jack Gunston four, and Cyril Rioli chiming in with three. 

4. Are the Hawks the best kicking side of the modern era?
Hawthorn blitzed the swans with the first seven goals of the game, thanks mainly to their kicking efficiency going forward. Matt Suckling, Sam Mitchell and Cyril Rioli make it look easy with ball in hand, and they crucified the home side. While the Swans continually butchered the footy going inside 50, the visitors were clinical. The Hawks had only one more inside 50 than the Swans, and lost the disposal count (both contested and uncontested), handball receives and clearances, but kicked 23.8 in a masterful performance. 

5. Could the Swans think of a worse road trip after an 89-point loss? 
If getting pounded by the Hawks wasn't bad enough, the Swans next challenge is getting themselves up for a trip to Perth to take on the rampaging Eagles. They lost Craig Bird with a calf, and have Kurt Tippett in doubt with a hand injury, so will be sweating on the availability of Mike Pyke (knee) and Jeremy Laidler (ankle), who missed the Hawthorn game. There's plenty of work to do for John Longmire and his coaching staff, and just as much to do for the medical team. If they drop the points to West Coast, their top four spot could be in jeopardy.
