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.

We’re in the midst of an 18 day break, but the Hawks Insiders team doesn’t know the meaning of “bye”.

Ash, Mick and Daz caught up to discuss (among other things):

* The exhilarating win over the Swans;

* Hawthorn’s B+ start to the season (according to Mick anyway);

* Box Hill’s win over the Swans and Will McCabe’s eye-catching performance;

* The Bailey Humphrey trade rumour that won’t go away; and

* Draftee Jack Dalton putting his hand up for an early debut.

The flathead Hawk guernsey, which will be resurrected for Gather Round, also prompted a walk down memory lane.

Ash and Mick shared their own recollections of Princes Park, along with all of the amazing memories HI members shared on our socials.

As always, we fielded a bunch of your very excellent questions — from Ginnivan’s goal ‘drought’ to our ageing backline.

Daz would also like to apologise in advance to any WA-based Hawks fans 😬

Thanks as always to our HI members for all your support. You’re the reason we keep turning up week in, week out — even when the Hawks aren’t playing.
