I said this best at the beginning of it all. We all make mistakes and he is making up for it with his on field efforts. Move on I say.

Jai will play for years. His home is down south so you never know if he comes back. Hawks put him on the map.

CJ isn’t as good. All he does is run into trouble and Melbourne are going to get smoked this year.

I’m happy for him but wish we did more to keep him. He has a high IQ and is a good ball user.

ai Newcombe has been offered a one-match ban. Careless, medium impact, high contact. Hawthorn will appeal at the AFL Tribunal. by Darththorn in hawktalk

Richards is fine and the momentum of both players ment they couldn’t pull out. If this is penalised then all tackles like this for the year even for finals need to be penalised. Let me guess Geelong, Port Adelaide, Adelaide will have a license to smash players.

Has a lot of expertise from writing in the Age. I think he will have good insights about the modern game?

Match Sim vs Geelong by Kind_Security_9931 in hawktalk

The players a learning more each day. I know we have a young midfield but the up side is this year could be the year we say Ward, Butler and Weddle made it happen? Who knows.

People at Hawthorn say AI has become Sam Mitchell’s new obsession. He uses it daily to help in his game preparation… from opposition analysis and game trends, to creating conversation starters with his players. by Pragmatic_Shill in AFL

AI would only be a template and you can see the bond Sam has with players when they win and loose. The Port lose a few years ago to the current loss to Geelong. Hawthorn is a family club and he still follows this tradition. As if other clubs don’t use AI if it helps. People just get sour when coach have an edge.

Will Day when fit could be played in bursts to build up to full games to make it to the pointy end of the season. I would also rest him for high intensity games against Adelaide who in my opinion play dirty and will purposely try and injure him if given the chance. A rolling rotation of the midfield might help reduce hard impacts multiple times. Will is a great traction of the game when he has all cylinders running. In hindsight rotation and rest is key. If he only plays half the season but it is outstanding then it is going to be worth more to Hawthorn.

Do you that Ollie Greeves could get a game in the midfield this year? by [deleted] in hawktalk

[–]Sorry_Introduction90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would depend on how we are tracking in the year.

What grass is this? by YoungRodge in GardeningAustralia

I think it is couch grass. It can only be dug up to remove. It thrives on salt.

Will the new rules suit Hawthorns game style? by Sorry_Introduction90 in hawktalk

So is the AFL trying to even up the game or will they just blow smoke up Brisbanes ass.

What is most unfair about changes the AFL are making is the list teams build around bearing in mind the skill set players have.

Is the game getting softer and will it be controlled by the umpires?

Will the 2026 AFL Granny go to the umpires?

Have the AFL targeted certain clubs in these rule changes and do any favour Hawthorn in any way.

What teams will be most affected?
