The Hawthorn band is back together.
Mitch Lewis back kicking goals. Will Day back doing special things. James Sicily and Dylan Moore back in top form. Calsher Dear back performing at the highest level.
There has been some doubt about Hawthorn’s credentials in recent times but if they can remain somewhat injury-free for the next two months then anything can happen.
The way they cast Carlton aside on Thursday night with consummate ease was impressive.
The Hawks still need more out of Jai Newcombe and James Worpel, and if they can get Josh Weddle back, then look out.
However, it’s a massive month ahead with huge tests against Adelaide (away), Collingwood (MCG) and Brisbane (Gabba) in the next four weeks.
They’ll likely need to win at least two of those just to make the eight.
