@Hawkt4stic @HawksInsiders Yeah I prefer him as an inside mid though. 11 contested possessions means he’s winning the hard ball, perhaps playing a different role than when he’s played for us previously? Maybe 40% might be a better kick-to-handball ratio, but 25% is fine to start.

@bendec22 @HawksInsiders Only six kicks, though. You’d have to think the instruction was to handball at all costs, given how often his kicks turn into turnovers. Just 95 metres gained really tells the story.

Finn Maginness vs Gold Coast: 24 disposals @ 83% 11 contested possessions 2 goals 5 marks 4 tackles 10 score involvements Great return after starting the season in the VFL. Morrison also great with 20 touches. @HawksInsiders #AFLHawksSuns

And the Essendon fans go wild! Nothing better than the sound of 90k at the G, so we glad can hear it #AFLDonsPies

@jimbosteen1 @HawksInsiders @hawthornzone Here’s how the Hawks’ forward line are categorised via Wheelo

@bendec22 @HawksInsiders @hawthornzone Does Jack Gunston fall into the group.

Nick Watson in 2026 amongst General Forwards 1st in goals (6th in league) 1st in shots on goal (7th in league) 1st in player ratings (10th in league) 1st in coaches votes (13th in league) @HawksInsiders @hawthornzone

So, 3 out of 6 (50%) would have to be up there for an occurence of the same margin, with the same venue and teams (with a minimum of 5 games). No confirmation of this stat but I’m hoping someone comes across and helps me out.

Hawthorn have played Gold Coast 6 times at @utasstadium, with 3 of those matches resulting in a 53-point win for the Hawks. 2014 R15: 17.14.116 def 10.3.63 2015 R9: 14.9.93 def 6.4.40 2018 R14: 13.18.96 def 5.13.43 @sirswampthing @HawksInsiders @hawthornzone

Hawthorn have won their last 10 at @utasstadium with an average winning margin of 40.5 points. Gold Coast have lost their only 6 at UTAS with an average losing margin of 43.8 points. #AFLHawksSuns
