The AFL Draft being compromised is nothing new and something the Hawks have taken tremendous advantage of recently. Now, popular first-selection hopeful for Hawks fans, Nick Watson, is going to fall victim the other way and slip away from the Hawks. Priority picks have been a catalyst for the recent...

Smithy’s Player Review (ft. Daz): Collingwood
Best win of the season! Best win of the last four years! Best win under Sam Mitchell! WHAT A WIN! If you’re not still on cloud nine, skip this and go down to the ratings because oh my goodness! Two premiership contenders have been knocked off which does open up...
AFL Draft: Top Four for Top Pick
For the first time in a long time, who Hawthorn is targeting in the first round of the draft is a genuine mystery. Denver Grainger-Barras (2020), Josh Ward (2021) and Cam MacKenzie (2022) were all “mocked” to the Hawks pretty early via ESPN, Rookie Me and Cal Twomey’s Phantom Drafts...
Smithy’s Player Ratings ft. Daz: St.Kilda
WHAT. A. WIN! Oh we are a happy team at Hawthorn and we are the mighty, fighting, Hawks! Marvel Stadium and St.Kilda were both not opponents that had filled the Hawks faithful with much hope but the oly real complaint that we’ve got is we should’ve won by more! Goalkicking...
Dimma’s Whipping Boy On Daz’s Wishlist
Damien Hardwick is a lifelong Hawk, even if he's a Richmond immortal. A happier, more relaxed and less follically impaired Dimma was a part of the coaching fraternity that saw the most improbable flags come to Waverley when the Hawks toppled the Cats in 2008. Since 2010, he's been in...
Smithy’s Player Ratings ft. Daz: Western Bulldogs
Daz here, back in the review chair for the week to discuss the Dogs clash! Even though Smithy’s absence is for personal reasons, after the opening fortnight, the Easter Monday disaster and the preceding fortnight to this one, I'd want a break too. Sorry to hand over in a tumultuous...
Hawks Will Learn How to Reid
Hawthorn fans have seemingly resigned themselves to the number one pick after six rounds of footy, after a less-than-encouraging start to the season. An encouraging performance against the Giants and the Crows, plus a good win over North Melbourne haven't quite papered over the cracks that have appeared in the...

Late Round Draft Nuggets
For Hawks fans, who goes as the first-round pick is a very interesting point of conversation. It's even happened here, as the pitch by this author to get Matteas Phillipou has been a passionate one. However, with Pick 53 last year, the Hawks snagged Jai Serong, who's shown in his...
