AFL: David King and Leigh Montagna explain why the 'no fear Hawk's could be one of the most dangerous teams, come Finals.
After staging its most comprehensive win in a season now filled to the brim with highlights — and with fellow finals hopefuls falling down all around — Hawthorn is shaping as one of September’s most daunting propositions.
Watch every game until the 2024 AFL Grand Final LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo. New to Kayo?Collingwood surrendered its commanding lead to Sydney on Friday, Essendon inexplicably lost to Gold Coast on Saturday night, the Blues copped a body blow on Sunday afternoon, and then the Western Bulldogs squandered a golden opportunity later in the day — bumping the Hawks into the top eight for the first time this season.
“We knew that their work-rate’s not the strongest in the fourth quarter, so we were like ‘may as well start it from the start, get them tired early’. And when we heard that they were getting numbers down, we were like ‘let’s just keep going’, and really tired them out. , two-time North Melbourne premiership player David King revealed his new moniker for the burgeoning finals aspirant.
“They’re prepared to kick torpedoes from full-back. If they see an option, they’ll take it. Their handball game — they were untackleable today, they just stepped through, they went through small gaps, which is a confidence signature for me. The Hawks’ +28.8 differential for points-from-turnover has been the best figure in the competition over the past five weeks, while their +8.8 differential for points-from-clearance ranked fifth across the same period.
