    Two wins in three weeks, who even are these Hawks? The Insiders put a bow on the win over the Bulldogs while looking forward to another potentially winnable matchup against the Saints in Tasmania.
    Host Danny Prins was joined by Andrew Weiss, Brad Klibansky and Mick Cowan for some final thoughts on the hard fought, determined, gritty and impressive win while touching on:
    * Calsher Dear. What a story;
    * Jack Gunston’s kicking issues and if he has changed the way he holds the footy;
    * Sam Mitchell’s big win in the coaches box;
    * Lloyd Meek and his continued impact and growth;
    * The leadership and courage displayed by James Sicily;
    * RED TIME GOALS
    * Looking ahead to the game against the Saints;
    * Those in reserve and the ones returning from injury;
    * And much much more.

    That’s two wins from our last three games… and suddenly things are nowhere near as bad as they seemed a few weeks back.
    And what a fun day it was watching some of our young kids grow before our eyes, with some of our elder statesmen really stepping up.
    So there was no better place to record our review pod than with a nice cold bevvy at the bar inside Marvel Stadium. Listen to Danny Prins and Andrew Weiss as they take you through the highs and lows from the win against the dogs including:
    * Panic in the stands three minutes in;
    * The incredible pressure applied in the contest all day;
    * Our rolling zone and solid defensive structure;
    * Lloyd, Calsher, Jarman and Dylan;
    * The captain standing up after a horrific looking injury earlier;
    * And so much more - most of it discussed while smiling.

    A tough day at the office for Sam Mitchell’s men on Sunday afternoon. The effort was there from the outset, but the execution was missing for large parts. Danny Prins was joined by Andrew Weiss and Darren Levin to discuss the major talking points from the game:
    * A first quarter full of intent but not a lot else;
    * The Hawks inability to absorb pressure and execute skills;
    * Jack Scrimshaw and Sam Mitchell;
    * Experienced players and their leadership, or lack thereof;
    * Another positive Cam Mackenzie experience;
    * The importance of patience and perspective when assessing the list for the now and for the long term;
    * The disfunction of Hawthorn’s forward line;
    * Buddy’s return;
    * Plenty more…

    * The players who impressed;
    * Our forward line structure;
    * Players coming back from injury;
    * Box Hill and the role they will play this season;
    * Buddy’s return on Sunday;
    * How we will match up against the Swans this weekend;

    “I don’t think I share Brad’s optimism on that” is a line that no follower of the Hawks Insiders would have ever thought they would hear come from Darren Levin’s mouth but here we are. If nothing else, this podcast is worth listening to in order to find out the why behind that statement.
    Danny, Darren and Brad jumped on to record their immediate thoughts post Hawthorn’s first win of the season against a very ordinary North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
    The Insiders discussed the match at length, with the overall tone of positivity a nice change from the previous few weeks.
    * A phenomenal second quarter full of dash and dare;
    * Jack Ginnivan and his impact on Hawthorn’s forward line;
    * The performance of an under fire Connor Macdonald, a returning Harry Morrison and the under pressure Jai Newcombe and Conor Nash;
    * A bit of ‘winding back the clock’ from Jack Gunston and how his presence as much as his performance helped Mabior Chol;
    * The excitement and class on display from Cam Mackenzie;
    * Sam Frost, Jack Scrimshaw and Josh Weddle. Reliable and uncompromising defending;
    * Plenty more…

A “MUST” listen to for all hawk fans

You guys never let me down. I look forward to every podcast with your honest, deep in thought and passionate topics. Keep it up boys 🏆

Get better Mics

Great content but Ash Browne can you please use a headset…or sit still…the constant up and down audio/sound makes this great podcast very hard to listen to

SpanishBrowne ,

Good chat, poor mics

Please please please get all your regular contributors podcast mics (even entry level ones). Can't deal with someone's earpod mic constantly rubbing against their shirt or beard for the entire pod.
