Hawthorn star Cyril Rioli hurts his hamstring but not before ripping apart North Melbourne Hawthorn have overcome a horror night in front of goal from Lance Franklin to snatch a thrilling 3-point win over the Kangaroos. Cyril Rioli shows the pain after injuring his hamstring. Calls for dramatic changes to the way the AFL reviews goals is set to reach new heights after controversial decisions in Round 5. Cyril Rioli of the Hawks injures his hamstring. IF Buddy doesn't get you Cyril will. That's generally been the rule when it comes to handling the two superstars in Hawthorn's forward line. Unfortunately for North Melbourne it was the reality of a game which the Roos will think they should have won but instead the record books will show a heart-breaking three-point loss. After kicking a career-high 13 goals against North last year, Franklin didn't score any last night with his side-kick happy to step into the spotlight. Rioli booted four goals, including three in a row in the third quarter, to set up the victory although he was missing at the death after tearing his hamstring midway through the final term. As he limped off Sam Mitchell kicked a goal to put the Hawks back infront and when Jack Gunston got his first for the night at the 17-minute mark the lead was out to 11 points. Hawk Brian Lake celebrates on the siren. But as had been the theme all night, the Roos refused to go away but they also continued to waste chances. When Lindsay Thomas kicked his fifth for the night - and third of the final term - at the 26-minute mark the Roos were within a kick with just under three minutes remaining.In a frantic couple of minutes they had a number of opportunities. With 80 seconds remaining Drew Petrie went long to the square but the Hawks defence, led by ex-Bulldog Brian Lake, managed to punch the ball through for a behind.

The inside 50m count told the story for the Roos - a comprehensively advantage of 63-47. They also easily won many of the other key stats with Todd Goldstein dominating the ruck (38 hit-outs) with Daniel Wells, Andrew Swallow and Jack Ziebell having three more clearances - 28 between them - than the entire Hawthorn team. The scene when the siren sounded. Yet they still couldn't win and that was because they couldn't tame Cyril.He did most of his damage in the third quarter in which North seemed to control for the most part. The Roos hit the front at the three-minute mark after Aaron Black - the late inclusion for Lachlan Hansen - kicked a brilliant goal from 45m out deep in the forward pocket. Rioli quickly responded for the Hawks after a magical baulk and goal on the run from 40m but for the next 10 minutes the match was virtually played in the Roos forward half. The problem was they kept missing. Majak Daw kicked three behinds for the term while Black and Leigh Adams also missed as the underdog kept shooting itself in the foot.Enter Rioli. A horrible kick-in by youngster Aaron Mullett was intercepted by the Hawks danger man who made no mistake with the set shot from 25m. An upset Lindsay Thomas. Less than a minute later Rioli was part of a marking contest at half-forward and as bodies crashed around him, he simply gathered the ball and strolled in to kick his third for the term. The margin was just eight points the Hawks way at three-quarter time but the inside 50 count showed it should have been different given the Roos 48-35 advantage.What North did manage to achieve was win back some respect given the horror story which was the last meeting between the teams in Round 10 last year. In what was one of the darkest days in the Roos recent history, Buddy got his 13 as the Hawks won by 115 points.It was obvious early that Scott Thompson, fresh off a best-on-ground performance last week, wasn't going to let anything like that happen again. Known for his ability to upset his opponents, the North full-back was over Buddy with the pair involved in several wrestles throughout the opening half. His tactics worked as the Hawks superstar had just five possessions to the main break and two behinds to his name. Andrew Swallow handpasses the ball away from Shaun Burgoyne. He finished the game with just five behinds.In Franklin's absence early there was an unlikely saviour for the Hawks with ruckman Max Bailey kicking his team's opening three goals of the game - all from within 10m. Bailey put his smaller teammates to shame by soccering the opening goal of the match through the legs of North defender Scott McMahon and then a couple of minutes later running onto a perfect pass from Jarryd Roughead to mark and goal from one metre out. An impressive snap in traffic from the top of the goalsquare gave Bailey his third which meant he'd doubled his career goal tally from 28 games in just 20 minutes of football.
