Subscribe to Hawks Insiders for the most in-depth and wide ranging Hawthorn cover there is. From exclusive interviews to analysis, match recaps to podcasts, the Insiders have you covered.

No time for community questions this week as Daz, Mick and Danny ripped straight into a Gold Coast post-mortem and some speculative Zak Butters trade talk from friend of the pod Sam McClure.

We also covered:

* What the Suns loss really means;

* Whether the Hawks would’ve won with Meek in the ruck;

* The return of Cyril (sort of);

* Mitch Lewis’ injury setback;

* Will Day’s injury progress;

* Matt Hill’s rapid development;

* Box Hill’s massive 84-point win agains the Suns; and

* The upcoming must-win clash against the Lions.
