Clarkson is pleased with the playing group for rising to the challenge.
Hawthorn has its second win of the season, holding off the fast-finishing Demons to come away with a three-point victory.
Senior Coach Alastair Clarkson says he's pleased with the playing group for rising to the challenge presented by Melbourne late in the match.
"We were challenged significantly in the third quarter, particularly in the latter stages of the third quarter," says Clarkson.
"We found a way to regroup and get ourselves a pretty important win for our footy club."
