Exclusive interviews to analysis, match recaps to podcasts, the Insiders have you covered.Season 2026 is upon us and the Hawks fired up in sweltering conditions in their first pre-season hitout at the KCC.The Hawks prevailed by 17 points over the Cats — 16.15 (111) to 14.10 (94) — in front of a healthy brown and gold turnout at our new home.There was plenty to like, and plenty to refine. But for a first official outing at KCC, 16 goals and a 17-point win over the Cats is a pretty nice way to christen the place.Listen as Ash, Mick and Brad discussed: * The midfield mix and why Ward is trending towards the clear No.2 behind Jai;* What we need from our centre bounce rotations in 2026.* Reeves and Meek: how the ruck balance looked and why synergy matters more than raw hitout numbers this time of year;* Sam Butler's statement game — forward pressure, elite tackling and whether he's now locked into our best 23;* Mitch Lewis' presence up forward and how the mix of Lewis, Dear, Chol and (eventually) Gunston shapes the structure;* The kids watch — Noah Mraz competing hard and Aiden Schubert showing promise;* Why Flynn Perez is pressing hard for that SSP spot;* The upcoming Round One matchup against a GWS side dealing with significant injuries;* First impressions of the Kennedy Community Centre — strong crowd, great energy… and yes, the melted bitumen in the car park;* And much much more.
