Hawthorn stuff aside for one second... we're all watching the #Socceroos yeah? Lovely finish that, could hear our neighbours celebrating too!

Ben King to Hawthorn? 👀 Cal Twomey says they're the front-runners if he leaves Gold Coast. FULL THOUGHTS 👉 nine.social/18iQ #AFL

Can’t wait for Gold Coats to turn into prime Lions 2001 next week up in QLD against us. It’s been a loooooooong time since we have come away with a W up there.

Mitchell cheaper than Dutchy????? 😂 But anyway pretty incredible group here. I'm going Buddy, Cyril, Dipper, Gunston, Mitchell.

Main training during the bye. Notable absentees at the oval Sic,Gunners,Reeves,Hill,Cody A,Beattie. Scrima is in rehab, jogging along. Lewis was also in rehab before going indoors early. TB is in the main group. Nash is in the main group for all non contact sessions.

Faaaarrrrrrk. That's a massive blow. One of my fave Hawks too! Terrible, terrible news. All the best in your recovery Emily!

Kicking 19.7 instead of 9.17 would have been nice 🙃

Yeah-nah.

New ep drops tomorrow, folks!

Could the Hawks really land Merrett and Humphrey? 😯 @CalTwomey has more details on @gettable_afl, thanks to @Telstra: afl.com.au/video/1538249

TB, Blanck, Nash and Scrimma having a light session at Dingley this morning.

🚨 You've all been very patient, and we're pleased to announce that the Hawk Talk Podcast is returning with a brand new episode this week! We're hitting record tomorrow night. Any questions, opinions etc. you want us to tackle on the show, drop them in the comments!

Genuinely astonished Box Hill sit second on the VFL ladder at the halfway point of the season. 2026 feels very different to previous years - our best footy is good (not great) and our worst footy is not even wildcard worthy. Harsh, I know. Anyway it's very strange. You often see patches of both best and worst inside the one game, too. The run home looks good. Asterisks denote home games. Suns (21st) Giants* (4th) Devils (7th) Blues* (9th) Tigers (18th) Bombers* (14th) North* (16th) Demons* (17th)

Wonder what this certain segment of Essendon supporters makes of the fact that so many oppo fans are also pro-Hird lol

9 players, 10 separate fines handed out from last night’s heated match up between Hawthorn and the Bulldogs. @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne 👇

New Hawk Max Beattie with a ripper goal from the boundary! Love it! #VFL

Disgusting behaviour. Well done Cholly for putting this loser on blast, and well done to the club for their strong stance on this matter.

Mabior Chol has taken to Instagram to condemn abhorrent racist abuse that he received in the aftermath of Hawthorn’s loss to the Western Bulldogs tonight. 👇 @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne
