Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Preliminary Final - Hawthorn assistant coach Adrian Hickmott (19.9.26)
Q: How do you coach the forward line – is it running patterns or more instinctive?
He explains a 50-50 approach where some players rely on instinct while others follow structured patterns, with ongoing adjustments to ensure consistency week to week.
Preliminary Final - Hawthorn assistant coach Adrian Hickmott (19.9.26)
Q: How much planning would you say you put into the opposition?
Hickmott discusses weighing the balance between understanding the opposition's offense, defense, and stoppages while ensuring the team still plays its own way, with a practical split of preparation that adapts over time.
Preliminary Final - Dayne Zorko Pre-Game (19.09.26)
Q: How does your backline approach handle tag pressures and limit opponents' impact?
Our job is to neutralize the impact of the opposition's key players by staying accountable, denying easy kicks, and ensuring our forwards have territory to work with; it's about making sure they don't affect the scoreboard.
Preliminary Final - Dayne Zorko Pre-Game (19.09.26)
Q: What do you expect to be different from Hawthorn this time around?
I expect them to be a lot more physical around the contest, so there will be changes in how we attack and defend, but we'll stay true to our system and trust that if we execute, we'll control the game.
Preliminary Final - Dayne Zorko post-game on AFL Nation
Q: What happened in the game that swung momentum late in the fourth quarter?
The guest explained how the contest was decided by small moments and composure, with the momentum shifting due to pressure and territorial battles, but ultimately the team stayed composed and executed when it mattered.
