Draft night will pose a challenging decision due to the exceptional talent at the top. While Reid stands out, it's essential to consider how well these players align with Sam Mitchell's team strategy, as they could make an immediate impact and complement our squad effectively. My preference...

Changed the club for the better? In what way? Reeves was a big part of getting rid of a 4x premiership coach who was loved and admired by 98% of the players he coached. I don’t have a problem with Mitchell coaching but the way it was handled was messy to say the least. Reeves also oversaw...

My point is: Shouldn’t we have at least consulted the accused that these allegations had been made against them before going to the AFL. Should we have had a more trusted panel of people running this storytelling process. We weren’t to know but Phil Egan hasn’t exactly shown up to be a man...

I’m not saying that at all so don’t put words in my mouth thank you. I’m simply saying that if such serious claims are being made the club needs to ensure that the review is done fairly and everyone can represent themselves equally.

You think it’s been well handled do you?

What did we do wrong? We ran a review without consulting all parties. We employed Phil Egan to run the review. The review was leaked to the media by either Hawthorn, Phil Egan or the alleged victims denying the accused individuals natural justice. Since then, Hawthorn has stayed silent...

I find it staggering how quickly so many supporters have turned on Clarkson. Even questioning the validity of his reported mental health problems. That is wrong in my opinion. Let’s not forget what Clarkson did for the Hawthorn football club. What he gave to his players and supporters. This...

I didn’t realise that you needed to post on big footy to be a passionate hawks supporter.

This is incredibly sad. I’ve followed and I’ve been a member of the Hawthorn footy club for 30 years. Our footy club governance and conduct towards Clarkson, Egan and Burt is shameful. This has not been a fair process . Clarkson along with the others should be given the right to defend...

I think the backlash towards McKenzie and Mitchell is harsh. Let’s not forget the list management and trading from Wright and Clarkson post premierships. They essentially traded out of 3 drafts. This left us with huge holes in our list that we are now paying for and have no other option than to...

I’ve heard a bit in the media and on big footy that Hawthorn have had a bad trade period but it’s clear our goal is to blow the list up and draft new talent in and start again. History tells us that most players need 50+ games or more experience before they can consistently compete at AFL...

Gunston might have wanted a refresh after a personally difficult year for him. I wish him all the best. He’s been a champion of our football club. I will sa that it doesn’t sit well with me that Mitchell, Lewis, Hodge, Birchall, Smith and now Gunston left Hawthorn to play with other clubs. I...

Yeah my view Hawthorn should keep pick 4 in chance that one of Tillthorpe, McDonald or DGB are still there. I’ve heard next years draft is light on with talls so maybe this year we should pick a tall if we have the chance. If the 3 talls aren’t available I think Hawthorn will have a tough...

The top 5 players are pretty consistent in most mock drafts. There is solid evidence to suggest Hollands is the best mid/forward in the draft. The question is do we take a player who has an injury cloud against them at a pick as high as 4. If we were a finals team then yes we probably take him...

So Hawthorn have pick 4 and 24 We know Hawthorn are going to get a really good player with 4. I feel that the 3 gun talls will be gone in Tillthorpe, McDonald & DGB and it’s looking likely Hawthorn would take Hollands with pick 4. Wow watching his highlights he looks to be a player and could be...

Is DGB another intercepting defender like James Scicily though or can he play lock down on the big forwards?

Looking at most of the past premiership teams they have around half their players capable of playing A grade footy and the rest are important role players. Currently we are short on talent to compete with the best. In years to come im hopeful Scrimshaw, Day and Worpel become consistent A...

My opinion is that’d be a mistake trading for Merrett, Kelly or Treloar. These guys are mid 20s and have 5 prime years left. They may be approaching the end when Hawthorn are in a realistic place to seriously challenge again. I’d much rather go to the draft and get a future star for the next 10...

Hahaha thanks mate 👍

Is anyone else unable to listen to Trade radio today. I can’t access it for some reason?

It’s obvious since 2008 that teams have past us by. I’m not so sure if our window of opportunity for a flag has only just been prized open. I just think we could do with a couple of ready made players that would fill the gaps we have in our lineup.

I still believe Hawthorn’s premiership window is still open, although I think we need to trade to be back at the top of the competition. There is no other option but to trade to get fill the gaps left by Shane Crawford, Robert Campbell and Trent Croad. We must bring players in that can compete...

Not sure about Andrew Krakour. Justin Sherman reportedly wants out of the Brisbane Lions. Sherman would be just the kind of player Hawthorn needs as they lack a fast outside midfielder. Hawthorn should look into this for sure as Sherman would give us the pace we greatly need and has years...
