Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn pick 13: Will Day 2023 PCM!
It stuck out like my pet dogs balls ….. Day’s energy, speed, class was clearly at another level so if he’s right to go get him in. I reckon Day running out will have a positive impact across the group -

Preview R11 Hawthorn v Adelaide, Thursday 21st May 2026, 7.30pm, UTAS
Hoping the AFL decision this week will motivate the boys to put on a good show for the die hard Hawk supporters in Launceston! -

News Hawthorn in the media 2026
So that’s what you get for taking AFL footy down to Tassie 25 years ago. Disgraceful AFL!!!! Such fond memories from taking the kids down there years ago to visiting the last 5/6 years to watch games with the darls including this years game against GC. No more ….. sad day. Wouldn’t surprise... -

Autopsy Round 10, 2025: Hawks get Demonized
It’s amazing how much quicker you look winning the ball first in a physical contest ….. I kid you not to the eye it looked like 90% of the time in a 50/50 contest the ball would always end up/come out to a Dees player. And then when we did get it they were all over us like a rash. It was one... -

Autopsy Round 10, 2025: Hawks get Demonized
Sometimes we analyse things about this player, wrong selection etc etc but I reckon it’s more simple ….. please look at Sam’s presser and listen to the coaches words. We were outworked and our work rate was average. At the game it was really noticeable at ground level & across the ground the... -

Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Bodie Ryan!
Kid took some strong hits ……. didn’t stop him from going into the next contest. Puts his body on the line without any hesitation. -

Autopsy Round 10, 2025: Hawks get Demonized
If Dear kicked straight with those first couple very gettable kicks …… his confidence would have risen for the rest of the game. The pressure then climbed where I thought his effort to take a big mark/trying to hard ……. we gotta remember he is still a young lad that’s also missed a bit of... -

Autopsy Round 10, 2025: Hawks get Demonized
At ground level it was very noticeable that the Dees wanted the ball a lot more and their players were always running hard for each other in waves. When they got caught they would quickly ping it out to a teammate who would slingshot it forward towards their forward half. They are sort of... -

Unofficial Preview 2026 Hawk's Hypothetical Trade Discussion
I think it’s pretty easy to determine if the Bombers are serious trading Merrett to the Hawks. Around trading period when Welsh is asked the question ……. if he answers with a stiff upper lip we walk away don’t waste time and forget about it. If his lips are relaxed we have a good chance. -

Preview Round 10, 2025: Melbourne v Hawthorn, 4:15pm Sat 16th May MCG
A big part of Sam’s plan would be having a list where we bat down to the 26/27th player on the list who can come in to play a role for the team. This week our depth is being tested, we still have a lot of quality out there and in a good system I am sure the players will be going into the game... -

If Gunners is out Nairne could be that mid size/hybrid forward to be given the opportunity. He marks above his size with exquisite skills -

Autopsy Round 9, 2026: Hawks get docked
Would like to see Nairn debut against the Dees at the G. He’s already got a good tank and we need his class and kicking skills around the ground. Some of those fumbles/turnovers at the end cost us! -

Autopsy Round 9, 2026: Hawks get docked
Geez I hate it when we lose grrr but the boys had a crack, in a hostile environment on the other side of the country put ourselves in a position to win but fell short at the end looked like we ran out of legs. Sam’s motto of having 6-8 players getting it 20 times wasn’t achieved where Croc... -

If our gladiator captain doesn’t play …… the Hawthorn way has always been about the 23 that does!
