Hawks like their pin point passes and rely on their silky left foot mids (they've got heaps) to repeatedly hit targets. Doesn't seem ideally suited to wet weather IMO.
On the other side, we crack in and put pressure on. Kicking longer and almost always forward (heard on one of the footy shows that we have fewest backward kicks in the league by a big margin - not sure if that's true or not, but it feels about right). Sounds like wet weather footy to me!
I think we have lots to be pleased about. And maybe a wet MCG could be the happy upside for playing in the wet so much last year (which was otherwise just plain miserable and very fan un-friendly at the time)!
