Subscribe to Hawks Insiders for the most in-depth and wide ranging Hawthorn cover there is. From exclusive interviews to analysis, match recaps to podcasts, the Insiders have you covered.

A bit of fun for you as we look to wrap up 2025, and an easy-listening (at times) 10-minute episode taken at our break-up dinner and drinks at the Corner Hotel.

What was billed as a mere ‘questions without notice’ segment drew out some pretty important information from you all including:

* How many steps each day does Sam Mitchell take?;

* Who is the biggest book-reader in the HI crew?;

* Which Insider snubbed the opportunity to watch the greatest game in Hawthorn history from Round 12, 1999;

* Which HI self-congratulator of the year welcomed themselves to the pod?;

* Which father-son selection has Angry Brad already retired;

* FINALLY - Who are the four people named on Hawthorn’s Mount Rushmore - forever now on the record?

We hope you enjoy - we will be dropping some fun articles over the next few weeks to and be back online for regular bods towards the end of January - after the AO has finished.

The Hawks Insiders 2026 Season Launch will be held at the Kennedy Community Centre, in the rooms above the AFLW Pavilion, on Wednesday, March 4.

It’s the ultimate two-for-one deal. The chance to get among the action at our pre-season panel, and get a close-up look at the KCC for yourself.

Full details to come in the new year, but space will be extremely limited. So get out your 2026 calendars and put a big circle around March 4 now.
