Not that surprising to me that they've been a little up and down because they're still such a youthful team with energy and stuff and they can rely on a lot of that energy from outside to get them going.

And I think, you know, we've seen them against the Dogs.

We've seen them play some brilliant football, absolutely amazing football when they're going.

They've got such match winners.

But...

You need to be hungry, Hawks, and you need to be ready to go right from this weekend.

And there is a top four position in my view there for the taking for Hawthorne, but it's about that, Jarrod.

It's about taking it, not receiving it.

And that's their challenge.

Are they ready to take it or do they want someone to give it to them?

If you take it, you'll be okay.

If you wait for it, I bet it passes you by.

Go eight and two, go nine and one, and plant your flag as the team in this state.

That's what it has to be and that's what it should be.

If we look at, you know, talent, availability, they've got a pretty healthy list.

Will Day's back now and only getting better.

You know, hopefully Gunston's over his issues, Barass is over his issues.

They don't want for nothing, do they?

As a team, they're fit, they're healthy, they're ready to go.

You know, as you said, ride the momentum of the best Victorian team and get everyone, you know, well, Geelong will have something to say about that.
