An unofficial Hawthorn Hawks AFL site about the Mighty Hawks
A few years ago the Hawks started up Super Saturday training on the days before they played on a Sunday in Melbourne. It is a great day for the family with Hawka, BBQ and players training and signing autographs. Here are photos from this weeks version. (More photos over here too!!!)

No change
Three good ins (Buddy, Bateman and Cyril) but no outs. Three players are going to be unlucky to miss out. Here is the squads for Mondays games (Rest of the AFL Teams for Round 2, 2010 here):
Final teams named. Three big ins for the Hawks which will add a lot of pace to the Hawks. Three unlucky outs in KT, Mossy and Suckers. You can see the Hawks are getting much stronger just by the outs alone.
