An unofficial Hawthorn Hawks AFL site about the Mighty Hawks
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 last year. Talked about players on the rise and thoughts on where players where going. Enjoy!
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 in the rehab group (okay, I mean I would rather him not in the rehab group but you know what I mean)! Anyway, I am sure your not here for my report, there are better around, on with the photos!
The Hawks will be holding their annual Family day on the 28th of February 2010. They are helping to overcome the parking problem that large events at Waverly have by running a shuttle bus service from Monash Uni. Activities on the day include live entertainment including Bob the Builder for the kids, Skills and drills with the players, face painting, spinning wheel and of course, Hawka!
At 2:30pm the players will be introduced to the crowd and there will be speachers by coach Alastair Clarkson, Captain Sam Mitchell and I am sure, Jeff Kennett!
