The Eagles recruit looked to make a statement early in the piece, belting Hawthorn skipper Luke Hodge with an inspiring repeat effort on the outer wing. 

Wellingham applied a heavy bump to the three-time premiership Hawk, before buttering up to win the ball from Isaac Smith and sent it Sherrin forward. 

Wellingham is one of only three premiership players for the Eagles, while Hawks’ defender James Frawley is the only Hawthorn player without Grand Final experience.
