* Lloyd Meek and his continued impact and growth;

* The leadership and courage displayed by James Sicily;

That’s two wins from our last three games… and suddenly things are nowhere near as bad as they seemed a few weeks back.

And what a fun day it was watching some of our young kids grow before our eyes, with some of our elder statesmen really stepping up.

So there was no better place to record our review pod than with a nice cold bevvy at the bar inside Marvel Stadium. Listen to Danny Prins and Andrew Weiss as they take you through the highs and lows from the win against the dogs including:

* Panic in the stands three minutes in;

* The incredible pressure applied in the contest all day;

* Our rolling zone and solid defensive structure;

* Lloyd, Calsher, Jarman and Dylan;

* The captain standing up after a horrific looking injury earlier;

* And so much more - most of it discussed while smiling.

A tough day at the office for Sam Mitchell’s men on Sunday afternoon. The effort was there from the outset, but the execution was missing for large parts. Danny Prins was joined by Andrew Weiss and Darren Levin to discuss the major talking points from the game:

* A first quarter full of intent but not a lot else;

* The Hawks inability to absorb pressure and execute skills;

* Jack Scrimshaw and Sam Mitchell;

* Experienced players and their leadership, or lack thereof;

* Another positive Cam Mackenzie experience;

* The importance of patience and perspective when assessing the list for the now and for the long term;

* The disfunction of Hawthorn’s forward line;

* Buddy’s return;

* Plenty more…

A win is a win is a win is a win. And when we win, there is nothing better than talking about it. So on Wednesday night on the Hawks Insiders Safe Space, that’s just what we did.

Host Ashley Browne was joined by Andrew Weiss, Brad Klibansky and Mick Cowan for some final thoughts on Sunday’s glorious win against North Melbourne, plus a robust discussion on:

* The players who impressed;

* Our forward line structure;

* Players coming back from injury;

* Box Hill and the role they will play this season;

* Buddy’s return on Sunday;

* How we will match up against the Swans this weekend;

* And much much more.

“I don’t think I share Brad’s optimism on that” is a line that no follower of the Hawks Insiders would have ever thought they would hear come from Darren Levin’s mouth but here we are. If nothing else, this podcast is worth listening to in order to find out the why behind that statement.

Danny, Darren and Brad jumped on to record their immediate thoughts post Hawthorn’s first win of the season against a very ordinary North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Insiders discussed the match at length, with the overall tone of positivity a nice change from the previous few weeks.

* A phenomenal second quarter full of dash and dare;

* Jack Ginnivan and his impact on Hawthorn’s forward line;

* The performance of an under fire Connor Macdonald, a returning Harry Morrison and the under pressure Jai Newcombe and Conor Nash;

* A bit of ‘winding back the clock’ from Jack Gunston and how his presence as much as his performance helped Mabior Chol;

* The excitement and class on display from Cam Mackenzie;

* Sam Frost, Jack Scrimshaw and Josh Weddle. Reliable and uncompromising defending;

* Plenty more…

No Hawk has ever booted more goals in a single game than Jason Dunstall's incredible 17-goal haul against Richmond in Round 7, 1992.

As a tribute to this week’s announcement of Dunstall’s elevation as an AFL Legend, we take you back to when we he joined us on the Golden Years to recount this historic performance.

Many would argue such a feat will never be repeated in modern football, so why not reminisce until your heart's content.

Legend.

Where do we start. Saturday nights debacle on the Gold Coast is one of those nights you wish you could forget, but one that sticks with you like a bad dream.

Danny Prins was joined by Nat Martin to dive into the match, at times two footed, and try to get an understanding of where the Hawks are at coming out of such a poor performance.

The discussion was free-flowing and centred around:

* How the Hawks managed to find themselves both still in the game, and completely outplayed all the way to half time;

* The midfield and their inability to stem the flow of Suns players pumping the ball into Hawthorn’s defensive 50;

* The unfair ask on some of the members of our defensive group, and how they’re standing up to the task as best as can be expected;

* Finn being a positive;

* Hawthorn’s forward line and the limited chances they had, but how the forward pressure was non-existent;

* The changes that need to be made before the must-win game against North Melbourne on Sunday ;

* Where the Hawks go from here;

* and plenty more…

Andrew Weiss intercepted a few early leavers at Gold Coast’s People First Stadium to get their thoughts on a disappointing 53-point loss.

* Were there any positives?

* What went wrong?

* Can we sort things out in time for North Melbourne next week?

* What did they make of Finn Magginness’ performance?

* Who needs to go back to Box Hill?

Listen as the brown and gold faithful react to another big loss against the Gold Coast Suns. Oh, and it’s probably a good time to mention there’s a bit of a language warning (to put it mildly) on this one.

As frustrating as the final result was against Collingwood, the settling of dust combined with the ability to talk about through it in our recap pod has proven to be the perfect combination of therapy.

Nearly 24-hours after our thrilling comeback against the Pies, Darren and Brad came together to discuss:

* The first half;

* The reality of being a really young side;

* Stopping the rot - another game where we struggled to stop the run-ons;

* Second half success;

* Blake Hardwick up forward;

* Karl Amon’s second half improvement;

* The performances of Lloyd Meek, Max Ramsden, Finn Maginness, Connor Nash and Henry Hustwaite;

* Plus so much more…
