50+ point win to Essendon round 1. Again.
Hawks finish 13-16 (KPD depth really hurting) Bombers finish 10-16. Both teams need more time on rebuilds.

If we play like we did against the Doggies then you'll beat us handily.

Fwiw have no interest as it’s hawthorns progress the key for us. Bombers recruited a very veteran ruckman. Why?

We didn't really recruit Gunston (not as a veteran at least), it was more welcoming him back after a hiatus.
Really you recruited him twice. Easy to understand the first time, not so easy the second.

AFL's burning questions (no.183)
Who will be better in 2024: Hawthorn or Essendon?
I lie awake at night thinking about it. Will the Essendon pretenders improve from 11 wins and 11th on the ladder to 12 wins and maybe finish 9th or 10th? Or will they slide back to 13th or 14th. Can the rebuilding Hawks improve on their 7 wins and 16th position. They'll be hard-pressed finding an extra 3 or 4 wins this year to overtake the Bombers.
Maybe it would be better to ask...

I still think the Hawks will be better by Rd 24 conclusion.
Rd 1 will be interesting - most would expect a Bombers win first up.

The youngest list in the comp welcomes back an experienced and crafty forward to mentor and guide the youngsters.
Really not that hard to understand.
I'll understand if he plays.

To replace Flip. Another veteran ruck.
It’s good to have depth, competition for spots and players who can help raise training standards.
If Nick Bryan hasn’t gone past Goldy by the end of the season they’d be disappointed. However he’s going to have to earn it

Gunston- played a serviceable game. Could have kicked 3
Goldstein- gave Ned Reeves a hiding.

All 3 of Hawthorn's recruits are doing better than I thought they would tbh.
Very pleased to see D'ambro doing well.

Clearly Essendon, but recent seasons suggest hawthorn will catch up a bit by season end
