In the first of a new podcast series for season 2024, the Insiders broke down the defeat to the Bombers in our weekly Post-Match Recap Podcast.

Danny Prins was joined by Andrew Weiss and Darren Levin and the trio looked over the Round 1 loss focusing on:

* Post-match vibes check;

* What were the real positives from the match;

* What did we see as the negatives;

* Who were Hawthorn’s best players and why;

* Which players played their way into some pressure to retain their spots;

* Some final thoughts on where we sit heading into Round 2.

The Hawks will need to lick their wounds and get back on the track ahead of a Round 2 showdown against the Demons.

So sit back, have a listen, and let us know your feedback on the podcast, and the new format. We love hearing the thoughts of our subscribers, and it helps us shape what we do.

Don’t forget to listen in as the HI team goes live on Wednesday nights on X (formerly Twitter) Spaces. Follow us on and Facebook (if you’re into that sort of thing) as well.
