* Who he is as a player, and more importantly, who he is as a person and teammate;

* Our popular ‘Questions without notice’ segment was back, looking at a few different subjects;

* Box Hill’s demolition of the Giants Reserves, Jasper Scaife’s debut, Nick Watson’s impressive last fortnight;

Another week, another close victory. This time the Hawks slaying down the top four-chasing Giants by a solitary kick at our home away from home at UTAS in Launceston.

Listen as Ashley Browne and Darren Levin recapped Hawthorn’s sixth win from their last eight encounters. After starting the season with five consecutive losses, the Hawks now sit just two games out of the eight with Richmond and the bye coming up. (Although Ash isn’t prepared to look at the ladder until the win-loss ledger is squared.)

Key talking points:

* Will Day’s leadership and impact since coming back into the side.

* The makeshift ruck combo of Conor Nash and Josh Weddle (😮) taking it up to big Kieren Briggs.

* The eye-catching and “fun” performance of Mabior Chol.

* CJ’s electric second half.

* Jarman Impey’s rich vein of form.

* Swiss Army Weddle.

* The commentary 😬

* Jack Gunston’s career renaissance and “off the charts” footy IQ.

* Luke Breust’s enormous impact off the bench.

* Calsher Dear’s bright future, despite the fourth quarter brainfade.

* Xavier O'Halloran taking out the Ben Ronke award.

* Looking ahead to Richmond and #Dusty300.

* Our depleted ruck stocks with both Meek and Reeves in doubt for next week.

The vibes were high as Darren Levin, Andrew Weiss and ‘Happy’ Brad Klibansky recapped another glorious day at the footy.

✅ Our first win at the MCG in 2024.

✅ 250 games for Jack Gunston.

✅ 2014 Premiership team reunion.

✅ A comfortable 27 point win.

There wasn’t much not to love about the clinical (and stylish) way the Hawks dispatched the Crows, but there were certainly some talking points, namely the competition for places heating up off the back of a big VFL win and the “rascal pack” identity the young Hawks are building. The HI team also touched on:

🤔 How CJ is tracking.

🤔 How do Nick Watson and Chad Wingard get back into this side?

🤔 Does Cam Mackenzie make way for Josh Ward?

🤔 The elite recruitment of Massimo D'Ambrosio.

🤔 The impact Jack Ginnivan has made on the forward line and the team as a whole.

🤔 Big Noodle Reeves’ serviceable return to the ruck.

🤔 Whether the “F word” is realistic in 2024.

🤔 Do our mids need to kick more goals?

They talk about character being on display when your backs are against the wall. Well, after last week’s final quarter against Port Adelaide, the Hawks collective back was against the wall today., and they showed exactly what they are made of.

A return to the hosts chair for Ash Browne brought about a shuffling of the pack, and he was joined by Darren Levin and Danny Prins to chat all things wins against the Lions:

* Maturity of performance coming out of the loss to Port;

* Pushing back against a couple of strong Brisbane challenges;

* A forward line functioning without Mitch Lewis;

* Will Day, Jai Newcombe and James Worpel;

* The return of James Sicily and Jack Scrimshaw and how much of a difference they make;

* Development of our younger brigade including Mass D’Ambrosio, Jack Ginnivan, Cam Mackenzie and Connor Macdonald;

This should have been the podcast where the lid well and truly came off. Unfortunately the Hawks slowed to a stop in the last quarter and the Power surged to victory, breaking Hawk hearts in the process.

If you can bear it, Danny Prins and Darren Levin look back dejectedly but with hope at the 1 point loss to Port Adelaide and touch on:

* The Hawks becoming first quarter specialists;

* A first half full of so much promise but a last quarter to forget;

* Who’s or what is actually to blame and why are some Hawks fans coming for Sam Mitchell?;

* The form of Will Day and Lloyd Meek;

* Performances of some young Hawks including Calsher Dear, Massimo D’Ambrosio, Connor Macdonald, and Cam Mackenzie;

* How this game can be looked at as a disgraceful loss or as a step in the right direction';

* And a lot more…
