Season 2026 - Hawthorn

Gunners wouldn’t have made much difference today. Clearly Mitch is missing some quality in the middle. Did they really offer old Henry Hustwaite to snag the Merrett deal. Goodness me.

They know our type. Probably assumed we couldn’t resist another bloke that loves a slow jog on defensive transition.

TBF Hustwaite was the only Hawk prepared to come to us

They thought they could dupe us again like they did with Shotgun

Yea l don’t think Rosa was too interested in that type.

They will be desperate for Zac pay up Hawks he could be the diffence this year in getting a top 4 spot

I don’t think even Zac will get them to top 4.

Hawks overrated you say?

This list is very average not one thats fully bottomed out and rebuilt half their best side is made of players from other teams and rookies only ones that a top 10 is Watson and Newcombe

All the rest of their players were on holidays. It was an 11th hour ‘ take or leave it’ offer, that left us no time to negotiate. The hawks could have used Zac today- they were too smart for their own good.

They have got a few kids in the VFL that will be very good in the coming years unfortunately.
But yeah thy will need to still bring in players if they want to challenge

Lewis stood up to some extent, but with an ageing Barass, Gunners, Sis, Hardwick, Imps etc l think they have topped out.

Were they top of the table 3 weeks ago. Seems Port sorted them out but fell short, have struggled since.

Sydney have been on top for at least 6 weeks

They could have used Zac today, if anything he would have shown he’s a class above J Ward, who in turn is about 2 classes above poor old Henry ‘pencil’ Hustwaite.

From what I hear EFC is embracing technology. Apparently last week Brad Asked Jeeves what a small forward is.

Windows 95?
Ask Jeeves?

Pfft… Essendon is still rolling with an Apple IIe. Brad Scott’s game plan dates from approximately that time too.
