Apologies if it looks crap as I’ve done it on my phone. Names bolded are not currently in the team, injured, or no longer at the club. That is A LOT of change in 12 months! Hopefully we build some consistency with selection now as we had better structure on the weekend.

Has there been any news on Tom McDonald’s eye injury?

Desperately seeking omens? This is from Hawthorn's website:

"If history is a guide, Hawthorn are likely to have a two-point win this week.

The Hawks have triumphed by two-point margins three times in Round 7 in years ending in zero, doing so in 1960 against Geelong, in 1980 versus Carlton and in 1990 against Collingwood."

I'm quite impressed that someone has gone to the effort of identifying this piece of trivia (while ignoring the results in the 6 other years ending in zero since the Hawks joined the VFL/AFL).
