Is it time for a rebuild at Hawthorn (HPN at ABC)

So, what’s up with the Hawks? This week’s HPN at ABC piece (written with James Coventry) had a look at the two major aspects to their downfall – the tactical changes and the personnel issues. There’s many sub-branches of both, but both boil down to the adaptation of things changing

HPN on ABC – Nick Haynes is really good

Although GWS have had a tough couple of weeks, their defence ha largely been holding up. Only Adelaide have struggled more in the inside 50 battle, but they have largely been able to stay in games. Nick Haynes and his fellow defensive cohort are the biggest reason why. This week

The Big Hit – and a quick discussion about HPN in 2020

Today, HPN (with the fantastic James Coventry) published this piece on what faces the major football codes with the impacts of COVID-19. We dug into annual reports to try to quantify the situation.

A nice move sees Aish leave the Magpies for Fremantle

In the second half of the salary shedding deals at the trade deadline (after the Jenkins move), Collingwood have addressed their need to fit everyone in by tapping someone on the shoulder. Someone they paid two second rounders for in 2015. James Aish had a super hot start to his

Adelaide sheds salary as Jenkins heads east to Geelong

At HPN, talk of the Total Player Payments (and third party payment) caps is often only mentioned in passing around trade time. That’s because salary information is withheld from public knowledge almost all of the time. Thanks to the AFL’s annual reporting on the issue, there’s knowledge out there about

HPN promises you that there is no “ShinBonar” pun in the title for the Aiden Bonar piece…oh wait

Fun fact: one of the origin stories (probably apocryphal) for the nickname “shinboner” for the North Melbourne Football Club derives from the dire early Hotham/North Melbourne sides and Irish lads playing hurling in the same area.

Butler waits until the last minute, but ultimately finds a new home at St Kilda

Before 2017, few knew of Dan Butler. Picked up late in the 2014 AFL Draft, to most outsiders Butler was a player that was on limited time in the AFL. In fact, in 2016 Butler was nearly delisted from the Tigers. Thankfully, they held onto him, and he repaid them
