The farewell game for legendary Hawthorn<\/a> coach Alastair Clarkson<\/a> and two-club icon Shaun Burgoyne<\/a> has ended in a heart-stopping draw, after Richmond<\/a> spearhead Jack Riewoldt<\/a> kicked a goal to level the scores in the dying seconds.<\/p>\n

The Hawks appeared to be cruising to victory in Clarkson's 390th and final game, in which 407-match champion Burgoyne and three-time premiership Tiger David Astbury also bade farewell.<\/p>\n

But Richmond fought back from 31 points down in the final term to deny Clarkson and Burgoyne a fairytale ending, as the Hawks and Tigers finished at 12.11 (83) apiece at the MCG<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Richmond ran in six final-term goals to Hawthorn's three and forced the draw off a stray Riewoldt boot, the veteran Tiger soccering the footy through for a six-pointer with just eight seconds left on the clock.<\/p>\n

Burgoyne performed a desperate dive in the goal square as he tried to get a fingertip to the ball, but the ARC deemed it a goal.<\/p>\n

A touching farewell ceremony began as Astbury and fellow Richmond retiree Bachar Houli<\/a>, who was sidelined with injury, were chaired through a guard of honour.<\/p>\n

That was followed by Clarkson and Burgoyne walking through the guard of honour together, as claps rung throughout the MCG.<\/p>\n
