Umpire Robinson blew the whistle to begin the game and promptly handed the ball to Johnston to take the free kick. His long kick into attack was marked strongly by <a href="/wiki/Ken_Hunter" title="Ken Hunter">Hunter</a> 35 metres from goal directly in front, but he missed the opening shot at goal. Carlton managed to retrieve possession from the kick-in, and Johnston was awarded another free kick for being tripped by <a href="/wiki/Andrew_Collins_(footballer_born_1965)" class="mw-redirect" title="Andrew Collins (footballer born 1965)">Collins</a> and duly converted his set shot for the first goal of the game. Barely a minute later, Carlton went into attack again through <a href="/wiki/Richard_Dennis" title="Richard Dennis">Dennis</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jon_Dorotich" title="Jon Dorotich">Dorotich</a> but <a href="/wiki/Paul_Meldrum" title="Paul Meldrum">Meldrum</a> was unable to finish accurately.<br /> The Hawks had their first score on the board when a snap from <a href="/wiki/Peter_Schwab" title="Peter Schwab">Schwab</a> from a restart bounce in attack missed to the left. From the kick-in, Hawthorn's enforcer wingman <a href="/wiki/Robert_DiPierdomenico" title="Robert DiPierdomenico">DiPierdomenico</a> collected the ball and was charging forward when Johnston caught him flush with an elbow to the jaw, for which he earned a report. Carlton continued to struggle with accuracy when <a href="/wiki/Mark_Naley" title="Mark Naley">Naley</a>'s snap missed to the right, until finally Johnston picked up the ball after Schwab had lost it in a tackle and dashed forward before steadying and kicking truly on his trusty left foot for his second goal at the 12-minute mark. And when Hunter compensated for his early miss a few minutes later by converting his set shot from nearly the same position, Carlton had kicked three goals to set up a 20-point lead. <br /> But the battle-hardened Hawks were too experienced to panic. <a href="/wiki/John_Kennedy_Jr._(footballer)" title="John Kennedy Jr. (footballer)">Kennedy</a>, who had been playing on Hunter, was moved forward and kicked Hawthorn's first, swooping on to a kick forward from Collins and snapping truly on his right as time-on began. <a href="/wiki/John_Platten" title="John Platten">Platten</a> and DiPierdomenico added further goals from set shots, and when Kennedy kicked his second after the quarter-time siren, the Hawks had grabbed a three-point lead, despite having been outplayed for much of the term. As that day's Norm Smith Medallist <a href="/wiki/David_Rhys-Jones" title="David Rhys-Jones">David Rhys-Jones</a> recalled in an interview many years later: </p> <blockquote><p>I couldn't believe it, as we had dominated the play.
