Sam Mitchell does deserve the bulk of thr credit. It is not a co-incidence that he was WC midfield coach in 2018. He has put us in a position to be strong on field for the next 5+ years.

[@darrenbaker6019]

Damien Barrett hates the Hawks and take every opportunity to pot them

[@galdavin]

All whilst pumping up Geelong. Blokes a flog.

[@desfletch]

He did finally admit his pre-season prediction the Hawks would finish with the wooden spoon was a bit off the mark, lol. I can't stand his pompous self-importance. I often think it's only ex-players who understand the game well enough to comment.

[@galdavin]

@@desfletch except for Leigh Montagna, who said it was more like a 10 year rebuild and Mitchell wouldn't be there the next time Hawks play finals haha

[@jerseyforhawks]

If we beat Collingwood next match, stamp confirmed. Meek pick up can not be understated. 2023 list changes amazing. Watson & Dear check & check.

[@LomuHabana]

Looking at the Wizard now, I can hardly imagine what a damaging force this bloke could be in a few years time. Everything he is struggling with now are things most young players struggle with and which can be improved, but his creativity and footy intelligence is on another level.

[@gtaveteran]

He’s also incredibly tough for his size too, he’s not scared to get amongst it with the big blokes & his 2nd…3rd efforts are elite

[@ras-chd]

Thanks for the work on this video. Coming from an overseas Hawks fan. It was a great summation

[@user-pn8ox2uy6b]

Awesome vid (i am a hawks supporter tho)

[@cryptic6917]

I'm a brisbane lions supporter and I've seen this rise coming, even though we've been thereabouts a top 4 side these last 4 or 5 years for some reason the hawks always have our number and we can't seem to figure out how to beat them. I reckon it won't happen this or next year for the hawks but I reckon in 3 years time the hawks will be right up there as flag favourites, could be even sooner though with how well their young boys are improving.

[@Posy13]

Awesome video mate! Go you mighty hawks, I always knew Sam Mitchell would be good for our club and it was sad to see Clarko go but what Sam Mitchell did buy getting rid of Tom Mitchell and Jagare O’mera was very good I like it right from the begging and for people like the utter peanut head of Dameint Barret to go out and claim tanking is ridiculous and hasn’t aged well at all. I remember Kane Cornes used to hate us too, now he calls Sam Mitchell a genius! I just think whatever happens this year we is fine with me finals or not because I know when it’s our time we will make finals properly and win the GF. It’s the Hawthorn way so I will stay loyal till then and go hawks!

[@user-wf3ce8vm4g]

Agreed

[@aarongould1485]

finals this year are very possible. can be forgiven if we dont make it though. ill be bokd and say we're top 6 next year

[@user-wf3ce8vm4g]

@Posy13 who would have thought Kane corne eating humble pie . Yet David King doesn't have anything against hawthorn but still doesn't rate us

[@user-wf3ce8vm4g]

Hawthorn not us

[@LomuHabana]

The percentage might cost Hawthorn this year, next year, the sky is the limit, they could already be flag favourites.

[@colinross6259]

Good work. Very impressed with how Sam Mitchell has handled himself as a coach and in the Pressers. Articulate, to the point and as honest as a coach can/wants to be to the press pack. Had a plan, outlined it from the start. As you pointed out, heavily criticized. And now getting praise from those same pundits as the young Hawks, (most of the time) play good attacking footy in mostly competitive games. First timer, be watching more of your vids.

[@thats_insalting]

Would love to see you go more in depth on the build of the list, with mitchell moving nash into the midfield, getting the best out of scrimshaw,/frost, and even pulling Dylan moore off the brink of delisting. Sam really did an amazing job with this list!

[@johnvincenzo45]

Great recap of the journey so far, thank you

[@blinke5091]

Watching this video after the freo win, hawks are looking good, the rebuild is looking super strong!

[@user-xz2ii8ie4n]

Great video mate!!! Gave me goosebumps. Frggn love the new look team!! 💛🤎💛🤎

[@ALEXLAD94]

IMO you could see it coming with the Hawks the last couple years - there’s something to be said about having a young core of players of similar age developing together ie Day, Moore, Scrim, CMac, CMac2, Weddle, Ward, CJ, Lewis etc

[@POLARBEARS_ARECOOL_EDITZ]

Lewis is injured half the season

[@burnzeyy__]

here after the Collingwood win, never been so happy

[@oz_alfa]

Great analysis - shame you didn't wait one more week to do it!

[@user-wf3ce8vm4g]

Thankyou from a hawks supporter. Heaney was stiff to get a week. Glad you mentioned tanking, which it wasnt . Funny coming from barrett whose side is north

[@ThatClassicalGuy]

Well researched and interesting video. Well done.

[@anthonypirera7598]

Thanks for the great video and your doing a great job it was great to see what happened to Hawthorn and see were they are going.

[@AlanLoyd-uj8rl]

They call Damien Barrett "purple because of how hard he grips it

[@adamkorin5863]

This reminds me of Clarko's culling he did to some good hawks players when he arrived. But it payed off eh?!

[@stephenpapelera9538]

And now we’re in Top 8!

[@CJ-yb8uw]

Great clip mate👍😎

[@christianhutchings7741]

Great video, it's an Excellent summation and helps to regain context

[@2724rob]

Great video, the club lost its way for a bit there trading early draft picks for experienced talent and the players recruited couldn’t fill the holes left by departing superstars. We tried to be something we’re not, young talent has to always be priority, we’re on the right track now and are in a position to top up the list with experience soon, but I just hope we don’t give away our early draft picks.

[@LomuHabana]

At some point, you also need some more experienced player, and I am not (necessarily) talking about the Gunstons of this world, but just players who have already developed and have a few seasons of AFL footy in their legs, in the age category 25-28. Hawks have been (sometimes just slightly) outclassed by other teams the last two seasons (imo) due to a lack of experience. But I agree, Hawthorn’s succes was always due to an amazing eye for young talent.

[@logancahill]

Could you make a video on Richmond's decline since our premiership four years ago 🙏

[@boundaryrider]

Funny enough have that topic written in my notes for a future video. Definitely get to that one soon

[@craigpark2296]

Love the work up the hawks

[@andrewdangerfield2823]

good summary!

[@edwardhowe4471]

Aged well.

[@Clippy-f9d]

Yep. Big effort to pull that together. Ta 🎉

[@VelvetRiot-hz5mp]

They needed to punt Clarko. He has taken his poison over to the Kangas and where are they now?

[@WHOmedia1]

Nice one mate.

[@CapnFlash48]

Beat the Dockers! LETS GOOO!!

[@daniellebcooper7160]

well summed up.

[@user-hy7jz3mq8q]

Barrett is a flog! Why he has TV exposure is beyond me!

[@spindoctor6385]

Damien Barret a 'journalist' yeah sure.

[@portadelaidepower1293]

Hawthorns last finals win was in 2015 almost a decade ago. I am surprised that the Hawks are being praised. Why is nobody talking about this incredible fall from grace?

[@NickPYates]

They lost a qualifying final after the siren in 16, and were poor in 18. We've won a flag every 5 years since 1961 on average. You measure by finals wins, we measure in premierships, and we all see us very nicely on track

[@portadelaidepower1293]

@@NickPYates The 2016 Hawthorn team had a much better list than the Western Bulldogs. They could have and should have won a flag in 2017 or 2018 compare the Hawthorn list with the Crows who made the Grand Final. Since 2016 Hawthorn has drastically underachieved. They began the 2016 season with easily the best list and as flag favorites. Delistings and forced retirements has meant no more flags.

[@Final_Cut_FF]

Too Much Analysis. Go the Hawks!!

[@jgeditss]

FLAGHOK

[@SkyHeights-pc3hj]

Hawthorn's last finals victory was in 2015 their last finals appearance was in 2018. They are again unlikely to make the finals in 2024. Clearly, they have made a lot of errors in this time. They are on their way to becoming the next Essendon. If they can go 9 years without a finals win, then they can easily go 20.

[@Linda-tv6fn]

Hawthorn has not won a final since 2015, they look almost certain to go 9 straight years without winning a final. Sure they are doing better than expected in 2024, but they have clearly gone into a huge decline since the end of 2015. 9 years without winning a final in a salary capped comp is terrible.

[@StanCash-xj6ie]

When you have been at the top for a long time and esp won premierships the drop off can be swift (see Tigers). Hawks lost both finals in 2016 and 2018 under Clarko with an aging list, so have only missed finals action for the last 5 seasons - hardly soul destroying. With a younger list forming under a new coach and finals on the horizon I'd say the transition is going to plan. This is a club that has won a flag every decade from the 60s.

[@Linda-tv6fn]

@@StanCash-xj6ie Hawthorn delisted their way out of another Premiership. 2018 was the best example of this in 2018 they finished 4th after sacking Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis, Gibson, Rioli and Hill who won the Dockers best and fairest beating Fyfe and Neale. Name me another side who could lose 6 elite players of that class and still finish 4th. If 9 years with out a finals win is not a fall from grace I don't know what is

[@StanCash-xj6ie]

@@Linda-tv6fn Not true - Gibson & Rioli retired, Hill requested a trade home, Mitchell played 1 year at WC in 2016 and retired in 2017. Outside of this only Hodge and Lewis were playing for other clubs in 2018 and the Hawks had traded in 2 decent 23yo mids in O'Meara and Tom Mitchell in 2017. Premierships are your measure of success, not finals wins. The Hawks are building.

[@Linda-tv6fn]

@@StanCash-xj6ie The Hawks were putting games into kids in 2017 and 2018. WHERE are those kids now? Gibson was forced into retirement. Gibson did not get a retirement game because direct quote it was better to put games into kids. Hawthorn missed the 8 in 2017 they would have made it without the silly delisting's and forced retirements. So, if 9 years in a row without a finals win is not a decline what is 15 years, 20 years? How many years without a finals win would they have to go for you to say that putting games into kids instead of sticking with premiership players was an error? j.

[@StanCash-xj6ie]

@@Linda-tv6fn Clarko was still aiming for another flag via a mix of experience brought in b/w 2016-2018 (Wingard, T Mitchell, O'Meara, Vickery, Henderson, T Scully, J Patton, Frost) whilst drafting kids in Hardwick in 2015, C Nash, M Lewis, H Morrison in 2016, Impey, CJ, Worps, D Moore in 2017 and Scrimshaw in 2018, Will Day 2019. Sicily was playing in 2018.- - all of these guys are playing good footy now. The experiment of trading picks for ready made talent to pinch another flag didn't work for Clarko - this happens and Clarko knew his time was up. If the Hawks were in the same position as North or WC today you could argue the rebuild will be a slow one but that nucleus of talent brought in b/w 2016-2019 is building nicely together. Your fixation on no finals wins shows you aren't really looking at the bigger picture.

[@ChallengeEdition]

Come on the cats

[@boundaryrider]

Pretty selfish of Geelong to go win that game with this video scheduled for today.

Aren’t we getting a bit excited about a young team having a few wins? Let ‘em prove something they only beat half a Collingwood team yesterday
