This week on the Real Footy podcast, Michael Gleeson, Caroline Wilson and Jake Niall discuss the Hawks and whether they need to rebuild or not – and whether the decision has to be so binary. Is Alastair Clarkson the man to take them forward? Did the Hawks give up too much to bring in certain players? And what are the on-field problems causing the most concern? Plus, why the Blues should be back in prime time - and fast - why clubs have a responsibility to play entertaining footy, Izak Rankine's brilliant performance and much more.
