In our final match recap of season 2022, hosts Ash, Darren and Andrew were in a positive and upbeat mood reflecting on the loss to the Dogs in Tasmania.

Which players finished the year on the right foot? Which players do we think played their last games in the brown and gold? And which players have plenty of work to do in the months ahead?

Semi game rating episode, semi questions to ponder as the off-season begins.

Our last ‘in-season’ Thursday night Space for 2022 which tiptoed into most Hawthorn supporter’s favourite topics at this time of the year - trade and draft.

There will be plenty more of it starting from next week and through the coming months as we look to be busy again in the player movement space this off-season.

But among that we also had our regular segments - the good, the bad and the fan experience from the Tigers game and a look ahead to the AFLW opener against the Dons.

There was a bit of Essendon chat including Clarko to the Dons? Clarko to the Roos? We took a stab at where we think he will land and gave our thoughts on the great man’s next move.

All hat and plenty more - enjoy the episode!

What could be more enjoyable that listening to three grown men rate and review every player in a 61 point thrashing on a beautiful day at the MCG. Right?

In recognition of the fact that said scenario would be as uplifting to record as it would be to listen to, we have taken a change of tack.

Who got a pass mark against the Tigers? Which players underperformed but remain integral to our team going forward? And who did their chances of staying on our list long-term no favours on Sunday afternoon?

All of these questions answered and more in your Player Review pod with a twist.

Thursday night with a twist this time round, as we were joined by unexpected guest and Richmond superfan Trout from Woodend (@TroutWoodend).

It was good to discuss all things brown and gold leading into the final two games of the season, thought there was as much to discuss in terms of off-field as there was on.

Aside from the usual review and preview of the action, we talked AFLPA Under 22 teams, AFLW, the great Ben McEvoy and the future of our ruck department.

There was injury discussion, Clarko to North laughs, Tasmania coming to an end and more.

Seems we covered a LOT in the hour - enjoy the listen!

Hawks Insiders’ OG3 (Ash, Darren and Andrew) got the band back together to rate every player following Hawthorn’s narrow win against the Suns.

Despite a very forgettable second half (from an attacking POV at least), a very young Hawks stood firm against an avalanche of inside-50s to get our revenge against Gold Coast in Tassie by seven points. Full match recap here.

Who stood out in a game that marked the dual milestones of Ben McEvoy (250 games) and Dylan Moore (50)? How did Jai Serong go in his debut game? And which slow blooming Hawk continues to be the thorn in the side of opposition teams? Check out the player review podcast to find out now!

Another week, another Thursday night safe space allowing Hawk fans the chance to come and be part of an hour dedicated to the mighty brown and gold.

Why was this night different from all other nights?

On all other nights you get the usual updates - the latest in the world of VFL and AFLW, as well as our match recap and preview of the round ahead.

But on THIS night, we were joined by AFL Media’s Josh Gabelich (@JoshGabelich) to get an insight to his reporting of the club throughout 2022.

We discuss access at the club - including to Sam Mitchell, his thoughts on the season so far, Ben McEvoy, trade whispers and more!

Enjoy the listen - we will be back with our player review pod after the Gold Coast game before being back in the Safe Space next Thursday night.

Not quit the four, or three, or even two quarter performance we were hoping for at Marvel Stadium against the Saints.

It was a shocker of a first half - the worst type of footy imaginable… but that is tempered by the fact that we dug in led by the kids, who put up a killer fight in the final term.

So as Andrew and Brad come together soon after the game to discuss each player’s performance, will it be a scathing review or will it be a holistic love-in?

It was not just another Thursday night this week as we hosted our usual Twitter Safe Space - this was a ripper thanks to the one and only #34 Akec Makur Chuot (@AkecMakur).

No actually - what a superstar and such an infectious personality, Akec dropped in to give us an update on the team’s recent training camp, pre-season preparations, who’s burning up the track and some insight into the strategy versus skill time spent leading into round one.

We discussed all the usual stuff like last week’s game and this week’s ahead, injuries, the VFL and more… come for the usual stuff, stay for Akec. Or the other way around. Doesn’t matter, just enjoy the listen!

It was another Thursday night cracker this week as we celebrated the continuation of the brown and gold legacy within the Fleming family.

Yes we talked about the Eagles, we discussed injuries, we dabbled in Pete Burge and we even had a look at our rising star nominee Josh Ward and his breakout game of footy.

But the highlight of the show was definitely having Damien Fleming (@bowlologist) on to talk about his deep connection to the club and how that has continued with our very first AFLW brown and gold draft selection - his daughter Jasmine.

Enjoy this wonderful chat with one of the great hawk celebrity fans, and great sporting people in general (and he’s a Victorian 😉).

Another week, another win. The high flying Hawks posted back to back wins for the first time since the start of the year off the back of a Luke Breust six goal masterclass and a breakout game from our golden boy Josh Ward.

In the hours following Hawthorn’s 25-point win against the Eagles at the MCG, Ashley Browne, Darren Levin and Danny Prins took a closer look at each players’ performance. It was a scrappy games at times, but for the most part, they liked what they saw.

Who did they get right? And whose score did they get very, very wrong? Let us know via @HawkInsiders or on our weekly Safe Space on Twitter which may or may not feature a special guest this Thursday 🤫
