* A massive thank you to everyone for the success of the Live Panel Show last week;

* The announcement of Hawks Radio - the Elimination Final Edition, with Hawks Insiders hyping you up pre-game;

* That sweet taste of victory in Round 1 of the AFLW;

* The commitment from Tom Barras and Josh Battle and the roles played by Roughead, Lydall and Sam Mitchell, and others;

* Jack Gunston and Luke Breust playing on in 2025;

* Chad Wingard retiring after 218 AFL games, including 71 with the Hawks;

* Box Hill’s disappointing finish to the season;

* AA Blazers;
