The brown-and-gold Grand Final wash-up

There were enough Hawthorn points of interest to add further lustre to what was a fabulous 2023 AFL Grand Final

ASHLEY BROWNE has some notes and observations about the Grand Final as viewed through a brown-and-gold lens.

Hawthorn was one of just two teams to beat both Collingwood and Brisbane this year. Melbourne was the other. Actually, on second thoughts, perhaps not. Both the Pies and Lions were significantly better by the end of the season than when they ran into the Hawks.
