What happens at the MCC Committee Room function stays at the MCC Committee Room function — unless you’re the Hawks Insiders.

After recapping the braised ribbed cannelloni and truffled jus, the Insiders turned their attention to some less serious matters like the commanding win over Collingwood, the AFLW season opener and Saturday’s massive clash with Melbourne at the MCG.

Ash, Daz, Mick, Simon and our AFLW expert Julia Faragher covered everything from injury news to list strategy, AFLW season kick-off to ladder predictions, plus a few off-field updates to keep the brown and gold faithful in the loop.

During the pod the crew discussed:

* Our magnificent win against the Pies;

* The AFLW season opener against Brisbane, including key players to watch and fixture challenges;

* Nick “The Wizard” Watson’s three-year contract extension;

* Harley Reid trade talk, long-term deal considerations and list balance;

This one is a bit different, as Danny, Andrew and Ethan bring the vibes, the buskers and the sounds of Richmond to your post match breakdown.

It was the sort of therapy that both Darren and Weissy needed - and will hopefully provide you all with a similar dose of digital healing.

It wasn’t your usual recap pod, and drifted in all sorts of directions as the pair of Insiders discussed the questions that needed answering after a horrific 24 hours.

🗣️ Key talking points:

* An incredible first quarter against the Crows;

* A disappointing follow-up in the second term;

* Will Day and emotion surrounding his fresh injury;

* The gaping hole in our midfield unit and how to fill it;

* The gaping hole in our midfield unit and how to fill it (listed twice as this was so significant!);

* Midfield targets for next season and beyond;

* Our tall four-headed ‘monster’ up forward;

* The stability of our defence;

* Expectations and how they should be adjusted;

* and so much more…

The Hawks were all business on Thursday night as they put together an impressive first quarter and then looked ahead to next weeks clash against the Crows, mid-game against the Blues.

After letting the dust of the game, and the hangover settle, Danny and Daz ran their eyes over this one. All vibes, plenty of rogue, and only a few of those pesky stats.

🗣️ Key talking points:

* Coming out of the blocks hard and cruising from then on in;

* Giving our full back his flowers;

* Welcome back 2024 James Sicily;

* Mitch Lewis and his tears of joy, Calsher Dear still floating and Jack Gunston defiying age itself;

* Getting a little too cute after quarter time, resting a gun mid early in the second half and generally just playing to time;

* Selection challenges and how we’re glad they're not ours;

* The return of the Prince of Waverley Park;

* and so much more…

Are we back? It’s probably a bit early to say, but the Hawks did what they needed to do in a game that had all the makings of a banana skin moment for a Hawthorn team working towards a second successive finals campaign.

In another very instant of Instant Reaction pods, Danny and Daz went typically rogue and discussed the game in detail, and from different perspectives.

🗣️ Key talking points:

* A first quarter that, brain fade aside, set us up for the win;

* Our slow starts to quarters showing up again, but the ability to battle back;

* Welcome back Mitch Lewis and hello Bailey Macdonald;

* Leadership, versatility and class in tough conditions, and the players those attributes are attached to;

* The challenge of playing against a ‘crap team’ like Port Adelaide;

* What and who won us that game;

* The imminent return of Will Day, and why it has Darren so flustered;

* and so much more…
