This Hawthorn team is legit. The problem is, it’s only 15 weeks ago that they were rubbish. It feels like they have developed too quickly? Is that a thing?

It was a topic of discussion for a reduced Insiders panel this evening as Danny, Weissy, Ash and Mick discussed a range of Hawthorn related things, including:

* Just how good are these Hawks?;

* The win against the Crows and how it highlighted many positives about this side;

* Peter Burge, Hawthorn’s fitness, primed and ready to pounce;

* How can Hawthorn be a premiership contender if they sit outside the top 8?;

* Tom Barras, Hawthorn is his preferred destination;

* Conor Nash and Sam Frost, they’re going to stay for a bit longer (or a lot longer in Nash’s case);

* Tidbits from the Box Hill win against Williamstown;

* A stack of listener questions and comments;

* And plenty more…
