Hawthorn have crashed Scott Pendlebury’s 250th AFL game, downing a depleted Collingwood by 24 points at the MCG.

The Hawks trailed by two-points at three-quarter time on Sunday but rallied in the final term to claim an 18.10 (118) to 14.10 (94) victory.

Tom Mitchell was again a thorn in the Magpies’ side, racking up 35 disposals and booting two clutch fourth-quarter goals to seal the Hawks’ victory.

Collingwood were two men down for much of the last term with Tyson Goldsack and Darcy Moore both injured.

Goldsack copped a suspected broken nose which left him bleeding heavily, while Moore appeared to suffer hamstring soreness.

The Pies trailed by a goal at halftime before snatching back the lead in a fiercely-contested third quarter.

But the final term belonged to the Hawks, who had an even spread of contributors with 12 goalkickers.

It was a disappointing finish to a solid showing from the Magpies, whose transition offence was much improved from previous weeks.

After racking up 50 disposals last time the two sides met, Hawthorn prime mover Mitchell was again allowed to run free and made the Pies pay.

Veteran Shaun Burgoyne continued his excellent form while Ryan Burton, Luke Hodge and James Sicily were important down back.

Hawthorn also gambled with Taylor Duryea in a forward tag on Jeremy Howe and were able to restrict the influence of the Magpies playmaker.

Jordan De Goey had a career-best 32 disposals for Collingwood while the oft-maligned Mason Cox booted three goals.

Milestone man Pendlebury had 21 disposals but the Pies skipper was quiet by his lofty standards.

Magpies midfielder Taylor Adams is certain to face scrutiny from the match review panel for a clumsy elbow to the throat of Luke Breust in a second-quarter marking contest.
