It was probably coming. It was probably coming, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less. It was probably coming, but did it have to come against ‘them’? It was probably coming, but why did it still leave so many confused?

Listen as Danny Prins and Darren Levin chat wade through the muck of the Round 17 clash against the Cats down at GMHBA Stadium. It was a tough one to record, so let’s just hope it isn’t a tough one to listen to.

Key talking points:

* The experience of taking the family down to Geelong for a game of football;

* What we could and should take away from a result like this;

* Do some Hawks fans need a bit of a reality check?

* Who stood up? Who didn’t? Any major concerns?

* Our first loss in 6 games and people have questioned the coaching, is that fair?

* Injuries;

* What to look forward to and what to look for in the coming week;

* Plenty more…
