    2026 Trade/Free agent targets for HFC

    Now probably yes Before drafting no. This forum was hopelessly divided about TB. You read this yourself. I always rated JB, but he's improved since coming to us. If you asked AFL watchers to name 10 A grade players - I doubt either would be on that list.

    2026 Trade/Free agent targets for HFC

    That's not the point They were the only A graders on the market. You want A graders...but only the right kind of A graders...it doesn't work that way as the pool of high end talent is tiny. If you want an A grade player, you accept them warts and all. I'm pretty sure Petracca was Hawthorn...

    2026 Trade/Free agent targets for HFC

    Honestly, posts like this grind my gears. How many A graders have we got since Sam was boss? Merrett - oh hang on he stayed Bailey Smith - nope, Geelong Petracca - nope GCS Butters isn't coming. Humphrey - well perhaps, but I'm not convinced GCS will just let him walk. So who then? The...

    2026 Trade/Free agent targets for HFC

    I agree mate It gets lost in here that in the pursuit of 'A-Graders' there are some good players who get ignored. Hewett absolutely would be a top class addition in the same way Matt Kennedy bolstered the Dogs. Big bodied accumulator who is rarely injured. And he'd cost next to nothing...

    Autopsy Round 7, 2026: Hawks destroy Suns

    That was a very good win in the end. Everyone played their role. I did spot something and I wondered if anyone else did, or did I imagine it :) With 9 odd mins to go in Q2 the game changed hard towards the Suns and they got their run on. I noticed that was when, for some reason, Calsher Dear...

    OMG David King - STFU "Warner decided to leave it for Charlie".........no you muppet, Warner isn't even in the camera shot. He's 70 meters away. I'd be happy for someone to drag King out the back and shoot him.

    Preview Round 7, 2026: Hawthorn v Gold Coast Suns, 25 April 2026, 12.30pm AEST @ York Park

    I'm sure it will be Weddle back alongside Scrimshaw Harry to the wing. Dalton Fwd / Mid and Finn tagging Petracca If Finn isn't tagging - why is he in? At least GCS are easy to read! Ballard and Jeffrey out - Mac Andrew and Wil Powell back to defence. JUH takes Mac's spot up forward. Our...

    Another brilliant job by the team down at Dingley! Awesome and respectful Anzac strip - easily the best Kudos though to St Kilda and WB for their efforts - they look great and have the names of their fallen players on the back. No idea why Sydney and Brisbane couldn't be bothered to do one...

    Preview Round 7, 2026: Hawthorn v Gold Coast Suns, 25 April 2026, 12.30pm AEST @ York Park

    We have moved on from Finn. He's out along with Harry, Henry and Max. It's brutal but it seems to be the way Sam is thinking for the future. With that mindset the changes: Dalton for Moore Scrimshaw for Sicily McCabe is stiff but you aren't leaving Gunston out. Next match Moore and Sicily...

    No aimed at you mate Hollands admitted to not sleeping well for a number of days pre-match. It is now emerging he had a full blown panic attack pre-match and during. I've had them. Not a 'feeling unwell' but a full blown panic attack sees your heart rate spike into the 150+ category, you...

    Preview Round 6, 2026: Hawks V Port, 4.15pm Saturday 18th April, Marvel Stadium

    I haven't seen Ramsden mentioned at all for this game. I thought he'd really kicked on last season and would be knocking on the door this year. I'd have thought this game would be tailor made for Max with Cholly missing. Seems to have been forgotten and looks set to be the next Jai Serong...
