The Bulldogs steamrolled Hawthorn to the tune of 36 points to jump up to seventh spot on the ladder.

Skipper Marcus Bontempelli (28 disposals and 11 clearances) led from the front in the midfield, while Caleb Daniel (28 disposals and 546 metres gained) again pushed his case for a spot in the All-Australian squad.
