The HI team got early access to Full Sweat: Inside Hawthorn’s Pre-Season, the new documentary from Channel 7 taking us behind the scenes of the Hawks’ pre-season grind. And trust us — it does not disappoint.

To break it all down, HI’s Ashley Browne and Darren Levin were joined by special guest Emma Race from Making The Call, the Outer Sanctum podcast and the boundary line of an AFLW game near you. If you know Emma, you know she brings passion, insight, and a serious love for all things brown and gold.

Full Sweat peels back the curtain on the hard yards that shape a team — offering a rare look at the moments we don’t usually see.

So, what were some of the highlights? Well, where do we even start…

* Adrian Hickmott

* Calsher Dear learning Wonderwall in a week (and being better than Hick)

* TB and JB

* Snowball = the new Hokball?

* Scopa and cotoletta at the D'Ambrosio household

* Sam teaching everyone to be ambidextrous

* Adrian Hickmott

* Kade Simpson

* Geelong recruiters being inconspicuous

* The Wiz being a star ⭐

* Mitch saying “unco” (twice)

* Did we mention Adrian Hickmott?
