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!!!)

Benjamin Stratton gets his chance to play AFL after 3 players missed out, 2 due to suspension and 1 injury. Hooper got injured early in round 2 and Ozzie and Shiels were suspended. Here is the sides (rest of the teams from around the league available here): Hawthorn B: Josh Gibson, Stephen Gilham, Tom Murphy [...]

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): UPDATE Final teams named. Three big ins for the Hawks which will add a lot of pace to [...]

Review of the game to come later, but just wanting to point out a win in a bet I had. Former Demon ruckman, now on the Gold Coast, Jeff White is a pretty big user of Social Media site, Twitter. I have been following his tweets for some time and was surprised when in his [...]

Public training was held Friday before the Round 1 clash with the Demons. Here are some photos (more available here and you can Click for larger copies). Who looks impressive?

Here is an interview from Alastair Clarkson on 3AW’s Sports Today.

Can’t wait! Footy is back and only one sleep away. I don’t know about you but apart from just seeing the boys in the full flight of competition, I think the other exciting thing about round 1 is seeing the new guys, and we have 4. Josh Gibson comes to us after a stellar career [...]

So after the viral success of the first Hawks membership ad, they have released a second one. Again centered around hawk fan and comedian, Lemo. This time Lemo is joined by some famous Hawk people. I also love the way they also incorporate some of the Hawks sponsors in a sutle kind of away. Here [...]

Just a week after learning that Simon Taylor would miss 4 months with a broken leg and knowing that Luke Lowden (developing ruckman who was placed on the Long Term Injury list) and Max Bailey (who injured his knee in round 22 last year) would both not be available till well into the season, more [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
