We really are up to the business end of the season now.
With four rounds left to play the Bombers really threw the cat among the proverbial pigeons, leaving eighth spot open to the chasing pack.
While we had the eerie silence of the stands with their COVID-enforced silence, we also had the power of the crowd and the atmosphere they bring.
18. Hawthorn Hawks (down two)
The Hawks don’t have the cattle to run out the remainder of the season. Consider the contextual features plaguing the Hawks now and the pressures that come with their coaching succession plan, and the news of their issues between Alastair Clarkson and Sam Mitchell, while the injuries continue to mount up. I watched the Hawks on Saturday with morbid fascination that often occurs when sides down the bottom of the ladder play one another and was not impressed. The Hawks are going to struggle for a few more years to come.
