    TWTW Pod: We're still coming down to earth

    Subscribe to Hawks Insiders for the most in-depth and wide ranging Hawthorn cover there is. From exclusive interviews to analysis, match recaps to podcasts, the Insiders have you covered. How many times can you watch the final two minutes of the Easter Monday clash before it becomes … a problem? The Hawks Insiders team of Daz, Brad and Mick are still buzzing after one of the great wins in recent memory against the Cats. But as much as we’d love to live in that moment forever, there’s a crucial Gather Round clash against the Dogs just around the corner. 🎧 Listen as we discuss… * The Easter Monday classic: what it actually means now the dust has settled; * How the Hawks won it: late-game composure, centre bounce execution and a group that’s grown up. * The rise of the next core: Ward, Watson and McDonald standing up on the biggest stage; * The forward line dynamic: Gunston as the focal point and Lewis’ selfless role. * The Chol-acoster: Is the scrutiny fair after some poor goal kicking in the last quarter? Can we really trust him in a final? * Nick Watson’s influence: Why 13 touches felt like 30? And why he might already be our most damaging player); * Debut watch: Flynn Perez’s aggression and Jack Dalton’s composure in a finals-like atmosphere; * Box Hill wrap: Schubert’s five, Nairn’s growth, and the selection squeeze that’s coming; * The Bulldogs preview: How we beat them, who goes to Dale and Darcy, and whether our ruck dominance can help us prevail; plus * Your questions answered: From Amon’s return to Scrimma’s form. Thanks as always to our HI members for all your support. We love riding the season rollercoaster with you all, especially after wins like that! Keep your excellent questions and feedback coming.

    TWTW Pod - Bye Week? Not for us

    Subscribe to Hawks Insiders for the most in-depth and wide ranging Hawthorn cover there is. From exclusive interviews to analysis, match recaps to podcasts, the Insiders have you covered. We’re in the midst of an 18 day break, but the Hawks Insiders team doesn’t know the meaning of “bye”. Ash, Mick and Daz caught up to discuss (among other things): * The exhilarating win over the Swans; * Hawthorn’s B+ start to the season (according to Mick anyway); * Box Hill’s win over the Swans and Will McCabe’s eye-catching performance; * The Bailey Humphrey trade rumour that won’t go away; and * Draftee Jack Dalton putting his hand up for an early debut. The flathead Hawk guernsey, which will be resurrected for Gather Round, also prompted a walk down memory lane. Ash and Mick shared their own recollections of Princes Park, along with all of the amazing memories HI members shared on our socials. As always, we fielded a bunch of your very excellent questions — from Ginnivan’s goal ‘drought’ to our ageing backline. Daz would also like to apologise in advance to any WA-based Hawks fans 😬 Thanks as always to our HI members for all your support. You’re the reason we keep turning up week in, week out — even when the Hawks aren’t playing.

And the whole HI Team had plenty to say as we look on in excitement at the game at the MCG tonight. Ash was on board once again to steer the Wednesday night ship, as our team of Mick, Nat, Mora and Brad took you through a plethora of topics, including: * A nice little review of the game against the Bombers including discussion on when we had the game in the bag; * The Danish Royal Family; * More discussion on the scissor scandal of 2026; * Sam Mitchell’s impressive rounds in the media this week; * Brendan Gale issuing the Hawks with an eviction notice and Tasmanian versus brown and gold loyalty; * The Tasmanian stadium build and it’s potential limitations; * On-field strategy; * The return of Jai Serong; * A preview of the game ahead against the Swans; * And much much more.
