The Hawthorn Chronicles: missed opportunity or flattering result?
After clawing their way back within touching distance of the top eight, Hawthorn missed a golden opportunity to climb the ladder. In a season where each week is a potential elimination final, a win would have seen the Hawks make a decent surge up the ladder. However, it was not to be, and they fell…
The Hawthorn Chronicles: Sunset without the scenic route
After ripping Adelaide apart in the second half of the game last week, Hawthorn were tipped to make light work of the struggling Suns outfit in Launceston.

The Hawthorn Chronicles: Rebuilding the fortress
For years, Launceston was considered a fortress for Hawthorn, and for good reasons. The Hawks hadn’t lost a game in the UTAS stadium between Round 8, 2012 and Round 19, 2016. The Saints ended that streak last year, thumping the Hawks by 75 points. To add injury to insult (pun intended), the Hawks also lost…
The Hawthorn Chronicles: Rude awakening
Last week, Hawthorn were irresistible in their comeback, and beat Melbourne despite being down by 4 goals at quarter time. On the back of that solid win, they were tipped to be overwhelming favourites against North Melbourne. To me, it was always going to be a danger game. For some reason, we never match up…
