This week, the Hawks Insiders were privileged to be hosted by Hawthorn’s Confreres coterie group, the oldest coterie group in the AFL. It was a pleasure to spend the day amongst passionate Hawthorn people, excited and hungry for September action.

In a game that started at a frantic pace and petered out after quarter time, Danny Prins and Darren Levin managed to pick the positives and sift through the negatives of a fantastic Sunday afternoon at the football. The boys touched on a number of thing including:

Key talking points:

* Our fast start, and some scintillating Sketchers football;

* Setting expectations too high is setting ourselves up for disappointment;

* The arm wrestle that was the second and third quarters;

* Will Day and untimely injuries to key players;

* 19 year old draftees leading the line alongside a key veteran;

* Our three players who stood out and why;

* And so much more…
