    Unofficial Preview 2026 Hawk's Hypothetical Trade Discussion

    Is there a version of this doc that shows club's "carry over" value? (Ie their total "points" less the points they will 'earn' for current ladder) I feel like we have carried a lot of points forward into this year - more so than anyone else.

    Isn't that what happened last time, when he was fired by North? Gets paid NOT to coach North. Now going to be paid NOT to coach Bombers.

    Zach's desire means nothing. He has a contract and we will hold him to it. At Essendon, contracts stand for something. Don't they Mr. Welsh? :D

    Preview R12 St Kilda v Hawthorn, Thursday May 28 2026, 7.30pm, Marvel Stadium

    Funnily enough - given I'm a Reeves fan - but I felt our best "Ruck" setup seemed to be "Chol/Meek", with Reeves playing as the standalone 2nd ruck. Not "Chol", not "Meek", but "Chol/Meek". When Chol played in the "ruck" - he mostly just took the "centre bounces" then moved forward, Meek...

    I doubt anyone will see another Jai in the MSD. COVID was a unique circumstance - imagine where we'd be if he kept up the apprenticeship! Right now, we seem to need everything, but most obviously, we need ELITE speed through the middle. Preferably right footed to balance all our running...

    Autopsy Round 10, 2025: Hawks get Demonized

    I watched Sicily take off to be an option off half-back flank. He sprinted faster than I have seen him run in a decade. I was more annoyed at that effort than anything he (hasn't) given us the last few years. Sure he upset me for his lack of effort, but I'd put it down to injuries slowing him...

    Preview Round 10, 2025: Melbourne v Hawthorn, 4:15pm Sat 16th May MCG

    For all those who criticise him, one thing Nash can do reliably is play 75% TOG. MacKenzie is already stretching to get to 70%. The rucks are barely passing 50% each. It's not as much of an issue every week but as we saw with TB's injury, it's a risk - when every other player has to pick up...

    Autopsy Round 9, 2026: Hawks get docked

    While we're on kickouts - I understand the statistical benefit, but such obsessive commitment allows the opposition to compress down as well. We NEED to go the 'other way' at least a few times to force the opposition to spread their zone coverage. The modification I'd like to see is a hit-up...

    Game Day Round 9, 2026: Fremantle v Hawthorn, 8.10pm AEST

    From the preview thread - ahhhhhh Why is Whately going on about Ramsden being a ruckman not forward with such authority. He played a large majority of last year at Box Hill as primarily a forward. === Max is a player I don't really get. He really is a "poor-man's" version of English/Luke...

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Connor MacDonald! Extended to 2029!

    He's always tackled hard IMO - it's when the situation is reversed - he will try to tap/knock the ball away rather than take possession (and the hit). In the forward line that attribute to keep the ball in play is an asset. Not so much in the middle (or defensive 50!)
