    Autopsy Round 2, 2024: Hawks go to hell

    Not sure if he has been told to rein in the dash but it definitely appeared he was playing within his limitations. He has also been very good defensively. In our best few over the first two games.

    Autopsy Round 2, 2024: Hawks go to hell

    This is what will get blokes dropped first and foremost. It's been two games now. Sure we are have been fumbly and wasteful but lack of effort is not negotiable. It's a career killer

    Autopsy Round 2, 2024: Hawks go to hell

    I would like to see the stat for our first touch fumbles over the first two games.

    Autopsy Round 1, 2024: Hawks fail against Bombers

    You are wording this as though Reeves was dominating in the ruck and it was solely the midfielders dropping the ball (literally and figuratively). This wasn't the case. Reeves had total 9 hitouts to advantage for the match. Goldstein had 8. Hardly a difference. Goldy nullified Reeves strength...

    Autopsy Round 1, 2024: Hawks fail against Bombers

    Massimo had one of the better first games I can remember as a new recruit from another club. Normally takes a while to gel. The early signs for all three of Massimo, Ginnivan and Chol look really promising. Massive upgrade on Bramble, Brockman and Kosi

    Autopsy Round 1, 2024: Hawks fail against Bombers

    Worpel looked like the only one playing with any hunger to hunt for the ball at the stoppages. A distinct lack of physicality from those around him.

    Ultimate Glory 2023 Trade speculation and Shinbeggars discussion

    If the Doggies really have their heart set on Watson then it may be interesting if he is still on the board at our pick. They may offer us something silly on the niight to move from 5 to 4.

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Jack Ginnivan!

    And just like that Sicily was no longer the most hated player at Hawthorn.

    No. I'm equating the Maynard smother with a Rugby charge down gone wrong and how it would be officiated in that sport. Nothing to do with a comparison to Sicily's tackle or any tackle for that matter.

    I also watch a bit of rugby and for me the Maynard incident was alot like a rugby collision with two players running at each other and colliding front on. In rugby this would be at a minimum a Yellow card sin bin but more likely a straight Red send off. Intent, accident, going for the ball...

    List Mgmt. Hawk's List Management 2023

    I'm amazed so many want to keep Jeka. It seems a classic case of his stocks keep rising the less he plays. He couldn't crack it as a forward. Which means other players on potentially rocky ground such as Kosi, Greene and Ryan were seen as better options ahead of him. And he couldn't get a game...

    Preview Round 24, 2023 : Hawthorn v Fremantle, MCG 1:45pm August 26th

    I would play our strongest side with the intention of finishing the year on a high with a good win. Freo are traveling and will be flat after a poor year. I think Mitch will want to smash them. Players play sore the whole year. Resting them for the last game to 'freshen up early' makes zero...

    Autopsy Round 23, 2023 : Hawks fall to the Demons

    Serong was fantastic. Good size and great composure with ball in hand. I can see him being ahead of Frost R1 next year. With Blanck now holding FB, Frost may find himself behind Serong, Sic, Scrim as 2nd/3rd tall defender I liked that Sammy showed bold coaching today being unafraid to back his...

    Outside of pure tapwork, I feel this was Ned's best game.

    Ess v GWS should be all the evidence the AFL need to scrap all this rubbish talk of any future wild card round. Bog average teams like the Bombers will fill these games.

    Welcome Welcome to the Hawks Jack Scrimshaw

    That was an interesting listen. And a good insight as to why players can get asked to go back to the twos and work on an aspect of their game where the coaches want to see change. It's also a massive endorsement of how Scrim has been head down bum up and embraced what Sammy has demanded. Those...

    Preview Round 23, 2023 : Demons v Hawks, 3:20pm Sun 20th Aug MCG.

    Or maybe with Brockman selected in Chad's absence it's as simple as the coaches seeing Brocky ahead of Butler in the pecking order.

    Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn, Tyler Brockman!

    The WA teams would know from a long way out what he is worth. I doubt the last few weeks would make any difference. If he were to want out, the best result for us would come from both WA teams wanting him. If not then our hands are very much tied in any negotiation

    Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn, James Worpel, pick #43 2017 - Peter Crimmins medalist 2019

    From touch and go when Stephens was brought over pre-season, to a key pillar in the most exciting up and coming midfield in the comp. His turn around in form had been extraordinary. Looking and playing like he is loving his footy and his mates.

    Preview Round 23, 2023 : Demons v Hawks, 3:20pm Sun 20th Aug MCG.

    I feel that Ryan was always coming back in although now it will be in Lewis' place rather than DGB. A forward line of Ryan, DGB and Kosi will be an interesting watch. Hopefully May and co don't afford them enough respect and we surprise. I would bring Brockman in for Chad. Brocky is still a...

    Autopsy Round 22, 2023 : Hawks leash the Dogs

    Bont was largely ineffectual. Amazed he got coaches votes. As his direct opponent for large parts of the game, Nash should have reveived votes before him

    Autopsy Round 22, 2023 : Hawks leash the Dogs

    What's just so frustrating about the Sicily non-50 at the kick-in and the Worpel non-free when Libba was injured, is that they should be clear cut simple decisions if the umpire knows the rules. No need to be open to any interpretation.

    Welcome 2018 draft pick 52: Welcome to Hawthorn Jacob Koschitzke

    I Well it worked against the Pies. Kosi has taken Meek's spot in any case as back up forward/ruck so one would think Ryan simply replaces RGB next game. But both Ryan and Kosi may be fighting long term against Rama to keep their place. While Kosi lacks for finesse he makes up for it by being...
