How many times can you watch the final two minutes of the Easter Monday clash before it becomes … a problem?
The Hawks Insiders team of Daz, Brad and Mick are still buzzing after one of the great wins in recent memory against the Cats. But as much as we’d love to live in that moment forever, there’s a crucial Gather Round clash against the Dogs just around the corner.
🎧 Listen as we discuss…
* The Easter Monday classic: what it actually means now the dust has settled;
* How the Hawks won it: late-game composure, centre bounce execution and a group that’s grown up.
* The rise of the next core: Ward, Watson and McDonald standing up on the biggest stage;
* The forward line dynamic: Gunston as the focal point and Lewis’ selfless role.
* The Chol-acoster: Is the scrutiny fair after some poor goal kicking in the last quarter? Can we really trust him in a final?
* Nick Watson’s influence: Why 13 touches felt like 30? And why he might already be our most damaging player);
* Debut watch: Flynn Perez’s aggression and Jack Dalton’s composure in a finals-like atmosphere;
* Box Hill wrap: Schubert’s five, Nairn’s growth, and the selection squeeze that’s coming;
* The Bulldogs preview: How we beat them, who goes to Dale and Darcy, and whether our ruck dominance can help us prevail; plus
* Your questions answered: From Amon’s return to Scrimma’s form.

It’s the run in to the biggest non-finals match on the Hawthorn calendar and this weeks TWTW Pod is very Easter Monday-centric.
Danny, Mick, Nat and Brad jumped on at the tailend of the longest break between games ever, to chat about:
* The big one against the Cats;
* How the Hawks get the win, and who needs to be stopped;
* Jarman Impey, the trigger and life membership;
* Calsher Dear, his spot in the team, and rumours of clubs circling;
* Box Hill Hawks, a rampant Geelong VFL side and the imbalance in the list build;
* Dare to Hope and what a great cause it is (support it here)
Thanks as always to our HI members for all your support. You’re the reason we keep turning up week in, week out — even when the Hawks aren’t playing.

We’re in the midst of an 18 day break, but the Hawks Insiders team doesn’t know the meaning of “bye”.
Ash, Mick and Daz caught up to discuss (among other things):
* The exhilarating win over the Swans;
* Hawthorn’s B+ start to the season (according to Mick anyway);
* Box Hill’s win over the Swans and Will McCabe’s eye-catching performance;
* The Bailey Humphrey trade rumour that won’t go away; and
* Draftee Jack Dalton putting his hand up for an early debut.
The flathead Hawk guernsey, which will be resurrected for Gather Round, also prompted a walk down memory lane.
Ash and Mick shared their own recollections of Princes Park, along with all of the amazing memories HI members shared on our socials.
As always, we fielded a bunch of your very excellent questions — from Ginnivan’s goal ‘drought’ to our ageing backline.
Daz would also like to apologise in advance to any WA-based Hawks fans 😬
