    Subscribe to Hawks Insiders for the most in-depth and wide ranging Hawthorn cover there is. From exclusive interviews, analysis, match recaps, and podcasts, the Insiders have you covered. Season 2024 is in the books for the Hawk boys. What a ride it has been. This one might burn a little though, because it feels like an opportunity missed. Danny was joined by Andrew, Brad and Darren to recap what was a tough way to end the Hawks season, but it’s fair to say there was still plenty to be positive about, even for ‘Reasonable’ Brad. Key talking points: * General vibe check * Port’s pressure to start the game, how did the Hawks cope? * The Hawks working their way back into it across the second, third and ourth * Umpiring * How much did we miss Sam Frost and Will Day? * The last ten minutes (Moore and Sicily misses) * Who struggled with the pace and aggression? * On the other hand, who stood out? * Hinkley, Sicily, Impey and Mitchell after the match * And so much more… Finally, thank you for your ongoing support of Hawks Insiders. The Hawks are out of the AFL season, but there will still be plenty more Insiders, so please consider subscribing to our Substack, and make sure you tell your friends and family where they can get the best Hawthorn content on the web.
