In our first — and only — AMMI Community Series match of 2026, the Hawks went down to the Dogs in disappointing fashion 18.9 (117) to 11.7 (73). Nat Martin and Angry Brad unpacked the loss — and while it’s not “season over” just yet, there were a few worrying signs ahead of our Round Zero clash against the Giants. 🗣️ Talking Points * Won the clearances. Lost the game: Territory wasn’t the issue — efficiency and execution were. * Transition defence exposed: The Dogs cut us up through the corridor far too easily. * Inside 50 connection still a work in progress: Entries didn’t match the structure. * Mitch Lewis under the microscope: This isn’t “just pre-season” for him. * Barrass is irreplaceable: Our key defensive depth looks thin if he goes down. * Newcombe tribunal watch: One week changes the entire Round 1 midfield mix. * Reeves or Meek? Do we need tap dominance or mobility? * Gunston still class: Experience and composure holding the forward line together. * The Wizard is coming: Nick Watson looks ready to explode in 2026.
