Check out the Hawks membership ad poking fun at Victoria’s struggling Myki ticketing system!
Love your work Hawks! If you haven’t already, go get your memberships now!
I am writing this report of training last week after the bad news about Simon Taylor and Brad Sewell’s injuries from the weekends game. But during the week there was excitement that the man, I like to call “The Factor”, Clinton Young rejoined the main group for parts of training. There is a still a [...]
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
So we didn’t quite Perform the way we hoped, my feeling is that the Hawks had a younger side then the Dogs. Some good signs from some of the young players (including KT and Straton). Don’t forget that you can checkout other photo galleries in the pages above under “Photo”. Enjoy and Go Hawks!
Sam Mitchell had to leave the day early as he had Baby Classes to attend. Luke Hodge had a brief interview and here it is:
As always happens, Hawks President, Jeff Kennett gave a speech at the start of the Official Presentation session at the Hawthorn Family day 2010. Here it is:
Here is the rest of the Jumper presentation video (First Video here):
This is the first in the group of videos from the Hawks Family Day 2010. This first video is the first 44 players recieving there jumpers. They did a nice thing were they had a member that had been to every MCG game presenting the player with their Jumper and the fan got the players [...]
After a good performance in Round 1 against the Tigers, w should have a harder task against the Dogs in round 2. The 3 guys likely to come into the side that interest me most are Sam Grimely (Ruckman and sneaky backman option), Josh Gibson after moving to the Hawks from the Roos in the [...]
Earlier this week, the AFL and AFL Players Association, during a joint press conference, announced the 2012 would see the introduction of Free Agency.
The plan involved (as a basic summary) the unrestricted ability for a delisted player to pick his own new club, the middle tier of players to also pick there own club and [...]
Second round of the NAB Cup sees our might Hawks take on last years preliminary finalist, The Bulldogs. Last time we played them, they flogged us at the dome. Also in this 2nd round game last year, we had the key injury for the year of Gilham. Lets hope for another good game and a [...]
Thought I would add some points from our Round 1 NAB Cup 2010 win against the Tigers.
After the good NAB Cup Round 1 win over the Tigers (I hope to write up my thoughts soon) the boys returned to Melbourne and back at training. Their were some extra guys in the rehab group from the game (Franklin, Mitchell and Gilham to name a couple) but shouldn’t be too much worries on [...]

The man some Hawks think could be in for a tilt at the Brownlow if all goes well for the Hawks was on 3AW Sports Today the Wednesday 10th Feb 2010. Discussed the Hawks better fitness base, some of the new players and other matters!
Enjoy
Got down to training this morning. Really enjoyed seeing the drills this morning. A few boys stepped it up and others in the rehab group. Unfortunately won’t be at Open training Friday before they go to Tassie for the NAB Cup opener against Richmond (if anyone does and wants to share commentary/photos, let me know, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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, [...]
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 [...]
