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.

The Hawks Insiders team (plus special guests) come together to discuss the latest club news live on Twitter Spaces each week. Make sure to follow us on Twitter (@HawksInsiders) to stay across all the updates.
