A condensed crew of HI regulars — Mick, Ash and Daz — reconvened at the same time, same place for a discussion of the week that was in brown and gold.

🗣️ Key talking points:

* A look inside Hawthorn’s brand new Dingley training facility — and the HI regular who finally made it through the gates (shoutout Patty Malone!);

* Our AFLW performance review and the heavy loss to North Melbourne, including discussion around injuries, milestones, and post-game controversy;

* Speaking of … is there a need for better coordination of AFLW post-match ceremonies after Jasmine Garner’s milestone mix-up?;

* How the Hawks’ injury list is impacting performance, and which players are lifting under pressure;

* The club’s new partnership with Under Armour, and what it means for merch, apparel, and future collaborations;

* Pre-season training plans, including players’ off-season adventures and early November return dates;

* Trade and draft chatter — from potential rookie upgrades (James Blanck?) to midfield rotations and the club’s recruiting value proposition at Dingley; and

* A preview of Friday night’s AFLW qualifying final at Ikon Park against North Melbourne.
