It wasn’t much fun watching Hawthorn get taught a lesson by Brisbane on Friday night. Unfortunately, talking about it again is part of the job.
This week, Danny Prins is joined by Brad Klibansky, Julia Faragher and Mick Cowan to work through what went wrong at the Gabba, whether it changes how we view Hawthorn heading into September, and why the midfield numbers tell a very different story to the final margin.
Attention then turns quickly to Saturday night and Collingwood. After escaping with a draw against the Pies earlier this season, the equation feels pretty simple: after what happened in Brisbane, we need to see a response.
We also welcome Julia back at the perfect time, with Hawthorn’s AFLW season beginning against Melbourne on Thursday night. She takes us through the new faces, the players poised to take another step and what needs to change if the Hawks are going to bridge the gap to the competition’s best.
