Hawthorn’s Intra-club Match – 5th Feb 2010

Hawthorn’s Intra-club Match – 5th Feb 2010

Wander down to Waverly this morning and what did we find but a bit of a hitout for the Hawks. It was like the good old days at Waverly with misty rain rolling in (not too windy though) so the skills weren’t as good as you would expect in the dry. There were players missing but most of the team was out there (as you can see from the photo below taken after the 1st Quarter). Enjoy. Also, if you wanted... [Read more]


Training 1/2/2010 – What’s your decision

Training 1/2/2010 – What’s your decision

Went down to Waverly today on my way to other things and thought that there was no chance of training as the community camp in Tassie was meant to start toady (Monday). To my suprise the guys were training and in fact had a guest down there. There guess was an AFL Umpirer present. He addressed the team and then addressed the forwards. After they did this, the forwards split up in to groups of two with... [Read more]


Audio: Johnny Barker interview on SEN

Audio: Johnny Barker interview on SEN

SEN’s Drive program, The Run Home with David Schwarz & Francis Leach have been doing previews of the up coming AFL season by interviewing someone from each club. They got to the Hawks recently and the man they interviewed was Johnny Barker. I thought it was a really good interview where Barks gave up enough for the fans without giving up to much inside information. Talked about the troubles... [Read more]

Training 27/1/2010 – Its been a while for me!

After life (i.e. family committments) had prevented me from getting to training, I was able to get down for 30 odd minutes of training this morning. My son (Patrick) and I were down at Waverly for a training kickoff about 9:30am, with players coming down in two waves (including Hodge sneaking down late (see photo below)). One of the nice sights to see and hear is Max Bailey taking a very active role... [Read more]

Training 25/11/2009 – More Running

Training 25/11/2009 – More Running

Second post form the 25th November 2009. Mostly running although there is one of Jordan Lewis doing kicking practice. Not sure the reason for this as its the second time that while the rest of the group ran, he was doing kicking practice. Amoungst the photos is one of Wade Skipper, formerly of the Bulldogs, who is hoping to be picked up in todays draft. From the phantom drafts that have come out, it... [Read more]

Training 25/11/2009 – Main Session

Another open session this morning. I got there after 10:30am and the team was involved in a match simulation. I was asked by the coaching staff not to video it, so no video this week. But a couple of photo posts (and perhaps a music video style video of the photos). Hope you enjoy. The man that seems to be attracting a lot of interest and excitement at the moment is young backman, Ryan Schoenmakers Ryan... [Read more]
