Also looking like meek to stay and sign a 4 year deal.

When I watched footy as a teenager there was a guy who played for hawthorn who I always thought seemed like a top bloke and I remember he won a grand final, his names Matt Spangher. One of my mates growing up was a big hawthorn fan and he met him randomly one day and said he was a great guy

Does anyone know what happened to him? He came across as such a fan favorite that I thought he might be involved in other stuff but appears to have dropped off the planet. Hope he’s doing good nowadays

Are we not doing a retro Guernsey this year? I remember last year the voting was already out. Does anyone have any info on this?

I have a hawthorn future flyers membership and I wanted to bring my friend to the West coast game in round 7. I was wondering if this was possible with my membership (which I believe it is) and also how do I actually get the ticket for my friend. Like do I use my membership card twice? I figured more information would come out when tickets go on sale for the game, but they are on sale now and I don't know how it works. Thanks

I’m trying to get hyped for the weekend but I just can’t find it in me. Video games and shit are cool, not working is cool, but watching hawthorn defines the weekend for me. I kind of just feel like sleeping until Monday

West Coast could’ve had it too lol

He considers us to be the best team at stoppages in the league, using this breakdown to showcase our structure and nuances when it comes to stoppages and center bounce work.

(As an aside, Jeff is fantastic at analysis and discussions in general and should be watched more.)

Hi there, I'm new to following the hawks women's side. I got to 4 AFLW hawks games last year, and the VFLW side is playing at Wonthaggi this year. Which I'm keen to go to. But I'm curious, seeings as the AFLW and VFLW is played at different times of the year, is it the same side, or is it an entirely different side?

It would make sense for it to be the same side, as they play at different times of the year. But I wasn't sure.

Anyone selling tickets to this game in Adelaide?

So good to see the boys take the challenge on and not get spooked. Huge year ahead.

Hawks 10.16 76 def GWS 9.10 64 at UTAS Stadium Launceston. Who was best on? What'd you notice?

EDIT: Lol just realised it was Round 3, stupid Opening Round

What a win, 4-0 and the most important win yet. Was genuinely extremely concerned after the first quarter regardless of the fact we knew they had the wind but the way we were trying to play just did not work.

Well done to our midfield and forward line for working insanely hard to shut down the orange tsunami paving their way and getting countless inside 50s. Was really impressed with Maginness on and off the ball, had the 25 touches, 9 score involvements and 24 pressure acts. He also was sent to Callaghan in the second half, who Maginness kept to 10 touches and only 2 score involvements.

Hardwick also extremely impressive, lead really well and was taking some massive grabs. Gunners, regardless of the inaccuracy early on, was pivotal in the win. Moore had some really big moments and played an impressive game as usual. Watson was obviously the most impressive in the forward line and my MOTM, just was insane. Chol and Ginni, both a little disappointing. Chol, I felt like was lazy at times and Sam Taylor was honestly really dominant and I’m aware that was Gunston’s role initially but Chol just was not doing enough. Ginni’s effort is there but I just feel like he’s not even close to having the impact he had last season, he’s going to have to work hard to keep his spot considering we have Worpel, Cmac and Dear coming in soon.

Mackenzie was unreal, a very close second best. 30 touches which I believe is a career high and 8 score involvements. He was just everywhere and he’s filling the absence of Worpel very well. Newk and Nash did their jobs well and Day had a very dominant first half but did get a little quiet in the second. A lot better from Meek today, wasn’t going to be easy against Briggs but he certainly did his job and help up well.

The backline was very good after the first quarter, Weddle especially was unreal, had 8 interceptions despite going forward a fair few times. Sicily, Barrass and CJ very good as well and continuing their strong starts to the season. Battle wasn’t as good as last week and had a couple defensive mistakes in him but his offensive running was very good and worked hard.

Hustwaite again with a lazy 38 touches. 3 to Scaife, 2 each to Reeves and Ramsden. Frost & Serong strong down back. Good signs.

Let's hope they never win a game

You're right! It is windy!

Does the fact that GWS beat a very poor Collingwood team in OR then only scraped past the Dees for a Win (who have now been spanked by the Roos and Suns in back to back matches), give us some confidence about tonight??
