AC Audio (with Crappy video) from the Christmas Family Day

Hi guys,

Another video from the family day. Well actually its more like an Audio of the Last Part of Alistair Clarkson’s speak from the Family day. This guy is really, really impressive. Again sorry about the quality of the Video but I had run out of room on the camera

A talk with Chris Pelchen from SEN

(NB: To any of the guys coming from Hawks Headquarters, Welcome. Any chance on getting an invite?) 

After the re-drafting of Josh Thurgood (unfortunately I missed the talk about Josh, some of the comments are available here), Hawks list manager talked to Kevin Bartlett of SEN about the re-drafting, the Hawks rookie selections, list management and last years picks.

Its a great listen and the talk about how the Hawks go about list management is outstanding!

Enjoy

All good for Josh Thurgood!

The news is just in. Red headed Hawk fan Favorite, Josh Thurgood, delisted earlier in the preseason from the Senior Hawks list has been given a second chance being redrafted by the Hawks in the Preseason draft.

Josh started on the Hawks rookie list and was elevated for the 2005 season in which he played 9 games in 2005 and a further 2 in 2006 including 1 goal.

There has never been any question that Josh has the courage to play AFL footy but sometimes his courage is almost his own worst enemy. He had injury trouble in both his years including getting smashed by Matthew Lloyd and missing a lot of footy. There have also been question marks on his body and the need to add weight to his frame.

Still to come (at this time) is the rookie draft and it will be interesting to see if the Hawks try to slip another one or two of their discards (Brennan or Miller) back on via the Rookie draft.

Good Luck for Next year to Josh.

Molly
