鹰队与鹊队在澳洲橄榄球联赛（AFL）中战成92:92平手，这是两支球队在同一赛季内第二次打平，创造了VFL/AFL的历史先例[1]。两队此前在4月曾以93:93打成平手[1]。
尽管结果相同，但两支球队从这场平局中获得了不同的机会。鹰队通过平局保留了晋级前四的希望，只需在下周击败西海岸鹰队便能维持前四地位[1]。鹊队则在缺少Brayden Maynard、Jeremy Howe、Steele Sidebottom和队长Darcy Moore等多名主力球员的情况下，展现了年轻阵容的潜力[1]。在防线上，Swadling在第七场比赛中完成了关键防守，跳过三名鹰队防线球员，在终场前阻止了一个可能的得分点[1]。
鹊队近九场赛事胜7场，已获得MCG外卡决赛的保证[1]。要赢得最终冠军，鹊队需要连赢五场季后赛[1]。
The Hawks and Pies played to a 92-92 draw in an Australian Football League match, marking the second time these two teams finished level in the same season and creating a VFL/AFL historical precedent [1]. This followed their previous encounter earlier in April, when they drew 93-93 [1].
The result leaves the Hawks needing to defeat the West Coast Eagles next week to maintain their hopes of finishing in the top four [1]. For the Pies, despite being assigned to the longer playoff route, the team's young roster demonstrated resilience throughout the match. The visitors were notably depleted, missing key players including Brayden Maynard, Jeremy Howe, Steele Sidebottom, and captain Darcy Moore [1]. Swadling produced a crucial defensive moment in the seventh quarter, evading three Hawks defenders to prevent a potential scoring opportunity late in the game [1].
The Pies have won seven of their last nine matches and have secured a guaranteed MCG elimination final berth [1]. However, they would need to win five consecutive finals matches to claim the premiership [1].
