News Hawthorn in the media 2026

[Simon Crawshay]

Good to see Ginni getting some recognition but really his improvement started early last season after he came back from the VFL.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Everyone one of those media 'professionals' should hang their head in shame. Maybe they have learnt from their appalling takes, because they certainly have not applied the same rigour to subsequent TRUE basket cases.

Yes, the AFL would now be pissed off that everyone has to play Richmond twice for 3 + years now, Caro. After the same with WC and North.

Another case of CARO has NFI. Imagine suggesting the AFL told Hawthorn they cut too deep. Go **** yourself.

C’mon, the true hero of this story is Damien ‘a form of tanking’ Barrett. At least Cornes and Caro have opinions. Damon is just a weasel.

Edit: and further to that, Caro admitted she was wrong. Cornes also changed his tune. Barrett pretended that he never said it. The bloke is a weasel, a rat. If you saw him in your yard you’d leave poison out.

If ... you were an AFL player you'd hate to play with Shai Bolton, ok.

oh, who do you play for?

An oldie but a goody yum yum, aging like fine wine

The main board hawthorn tanking thread is another classic. Start at about page 250 for the depths of 2024 (0-5) or 280 from when we start getting better and receipts are being collected

that is a great clip and with the benefit of hindsight, a beautiful thing to behold. Mitchell is a class act.

Just one question for a history buffs. Did we beat the Kangas the following week?

Yes we did, by 19. It should have been more but we kicked 2.9 in the last quarter.

This is the perfect example of why I DO NOT WATCH any footy shows or listen to SEN etc. I love my footy club, watch it keenly and heart on sleeve. Defend every player in our colours whenever challenged.
God I want to win the lot this year so bad, not to brag or carry on, just to then turn around and plan the next assault.

Great article on Sam, the mission man.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Aside from in game stupid shit on reddit and the main board here, nobody is mentioning the 50 to Barrass as anything important. Nor should they we owned them.

Ive been doing the rounds in the podcasts and guess who is the only one to point it out as one of the main reasons we won. Josh bloody Jenkins.

Josh Jenkins is genuinely the dumbest bloke in footy media. It's not even close.

Amazing what Cal can achieve when he's not carrying the water for Essenscum and letting them use him like a PR machine.

Welshy will definitely be calling Cal on site for a stern talking to

seeing as we will be 'deprived' of the Pendles celebration on Thursday make do with this
Cant see anyone equalling Tucks 9 premierships.
Also they dont make banners like that these days

One's that an entire team has difficulty breaking through?

Kudos to the cheer squad.

...so far.

After Gunston's Benjamin Button performance, maybe Tucky's a sneaky MSD pickup?
