    Unofficial Preview 2025 Hawk's Hypothetical Trade Discussion...now with added DFA spitballing!

    PSA (before I implode) - note the spelling. Mark McKenzie Cam Mackenzie If we are going to talk about our players futures can we at least make sure we get the spelling of their names correct. Far out. Yelling into the ether that McKenzie is an untouchable player to trade but not even...

    Congrats on the win. A really well rounded team performance that a lot of players were deserving winners of the Norm Smith. Lots to look forward to and plenty of improvements to come.

    Voting done halfway through the 4th quarter unless its changed. Ashcroft, Andrews and Cameron were probably best on ground by that point.

    Ashcroft's only to get better next year too..

    To be fair it was a weird call to make him sub. With the half of footy he was capable for, it makes you wonder why he wasn't a starting 22 if anything. The bigger risk was not subbing Cameron when he went down the second time. I still can't believe they didn't pull the trigger instantly.

    Fair point. I actually forgot about that which is basically a precedent.

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn - Mabior Chol

    Hmm. It would be an interesting argument to try and make. They would have to argue that this was a foreseeable outcome if that’s the case. I’m not sure they’d be able to do that convincingly but I also didn’t think he would get 3 weeks either so what would I know

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn - Mabior Chol

    I think we have strong grounds to dispute the suspension. The rule basically states that if you pin the arms you have to make an attempt to mitigate risks of the head hitting the ground which he doesn’t do. However; 1. There was two tacklers. Butler had him first which his arms have slipped...

    Autopsy 2025 Preliminary Final: Hawks get rolled

    I thought we did try to play like that but credit to the Cats for stopping it effectively. They pressured the ball carrier and protected the space around them taking away those short quick options. We didn't adapt well enough in those moments. The glaring weakness this game was the clearance...

    What a cracking game to watch as a neutral supporter. North were phenomenal today. Must be hard not getting the win but Pies had to play their premiership winning football to get over the line (plus a bit of help from some questionable decisions late). You’ll take a lot of learnings today...

    Game Day Round 24, 2023 : Hawthorn v Fremantle, MCG 1:45pm

    I don't disagree but I don't think that's been the main factor causing our structures to falter.

    Game Day Round 24, 2023 : Hawthorn v Fremantle, MCG 1:45pm

    Freo have really exposed our defensive structures this game. We peel off one man to pressure the ball carrier but that leaves them the obvious option to pass to next. Has happened throughout the year but not as often as this game. They've gotten so many easy scoring shots from it.

    Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn, Seamus Mitchell - Pick #29 2020 ND - extends to 2025! Round 17 Rising Star!

    There's a few things here. Being injury free and a few more years in the system will always be beneficial for a player. He was drafted as a high half forward. I always felt his attributes always better aligned to the half back. I'm sure if you rewatch his draft highlights it would show as much...
