HAWTHORN kicked off its 2010 campaign in style with a 56-point win over reigning wooden spooners Melbourne at the MCG.

The Hawks unleashed some beauties with Carl Peterson, Jarryd Kaylor-Thomson and ex-Lion Rhan Hooper in the 17.15 (117) to 8.13 (61) win.

“It’s been a job that Cyril (Rioli) has had for so much of his first two years and with him out of the line-up, it was a little bit of a concern,” coach Alastair Clarkson said after the match.

“But Rhan and Browny up forward proved what value forward-line pressure can be … it really assisted us to get some turnovers and create some easy goals.”
