The Hawks won their fifth game in a row with the 18.10 (118) to 4.7 (31) result.
The game started positively for the Magpies when they kicked the first goal through Jason Cordy.
However, the Hawks responded with the next nine in an impressive performance.
The Hawks' backline was superb, led by Linton Jacobs, who was outstanding with his creative play.
Kain Robins kicked five goals for the Hawks.
In what was a bitterly disappointing performance from Castlemaine, the versatile Josh Gribben was the Magpies' best.
* At Princes Park, Kangaroo Flat snapped its seven-game losing streak with a 19-point win over Maryborough.
The Roos trailed at every change, including by 17 points at quarter-time.
But they booted six goals to two in the final term to win 13.10 (88) to 9.15 (69).
It was an almost identical win to their round two triumph over the Magpies - overcoming a slow start and winning, despite having less scoring shots.
Coach Tyrone Downie kicked six goals for the Roos.
