    If not Dear, Nairn could be a chance.

    Preview Round 5: Hawthorn vs Western Bulldogs, Saturday 11 April 2026, 7.35pm AEST @ Adelaide Oval

    Dear laid 7 tackles vs Casey. Schubert laid 1 tackle. Dear is way ahead in his physical development and all round footy smarts. Schubert's time will come, as he is clearly a talent, but if we need a replacement for Gunston it will be Dear.

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Jack Dalton

    Just 10 touches in 59% game time but looked like he belonged. Promising start in a big game.

    Welcome to Hawthorn, Flynn Perez, SSP 2026

    Seemed a bit overwhelmed by the pace of the game early on but became more composed as he picked up the pace. Nothing remarkable about his foot skills this afternoon but that may come as he learns how to find more space. Too early to call but right now, I am on the fence.

    I thought Pittonet went OK. I wasn't sure how he would go under the new rules but he is managing to get his hand to the ball and direct it to advantage. The opposition was pretty ordinary but kudos to Pinnonet for sticking at it despite a fair bit of adversity and having an impact.

    Someone should tell Watson that we got Weddle at #18, Butler at #25 and Croc at #26. All are best 22, at the core of our rebuild and would transform Essendon. You don't just need just top 10 picks. You need quality recruiters and a good spread of picks, which is what the Merrett deal that was...

    Carlton has a pretty ordinary list for a team that has not enjoyed success for many years. List management has to be scrutinised. Jagga Smith could be a good long term player but who else looks like the future?

    Preview Round 4, 2026: Hawthorn v Geelong, 6 April 2026, 3.15pm @ MCG

    Geelong have weaknesses but there is a lot more to them than Cameron. Dangerfield, Stewart, Smith and Dempsey are A-graders and there is a decent bunch (Atkins, Holmes, Miers, Blicavs and the like) that are more than handy. Worpel is not an automatic best 22. They are also very well coached...

    He is a handy player - goes OK against other teams too.

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Will McCabe!

    Ramsden has had games and Mraz was picked for practice games. McCabe has looked good in patches but this is the first time everyone has sat up an taken notice of him. Another game like yesterday and we will see him appearing on the emergencies list.

    It is true that the Swans are good at rebounding from defence and damaging when they do so. IMO the best way of countering this is to make them scrap and defend rather than giving them intercept marks or uncontested ground balls. I think we have a forward like that can do that, especially if...
