To give it a name, the Hawks play "yoga football". Their positional play is based on ultimate flexibility and it is a crucial plank of their overall game plan. Hawthorn players all play multiple positions and roles in any given match - in fact, in any given quarter. Watching the brown and gold machine throughout the pre-season and over the first couple of weeks of the home and away season has been intriguing, interesting and damn hard work just keeping up with them.
