Tom Barrass has taken out the Round 2 Superhero of the Week in the Hawks 17-point win over Sydney on Thursday night.

Barrass was a brick wall in defence at the MCG, nullifying the Swans attack in the tough contest. His relentless pursuit highlighted by a courageous mark in the centre of the ground in the second quarter.

The 30-year-old finished with an equal game-high 11 intercept possessions and 15 disposals.

Barrass and the Hawks head into their first bye of the season, before returning to the MCG on Easter Monday to take on Geelong in Round 4.
