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!!!)

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?

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 [...]

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!

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 [...]

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 [...]

Here are more photos including in the background a couple of runners that got some attention of the people that where at training. Here are the runners (above)

(NOTE: Hi to those coming from HHQ forum. I am still locked out of it. If you wanted to suggest they let user mollyfud back in, would be very helpful. TIA) Open training. Was moved to 8am due to the heat and I was able to make it down twice. Got some great Videos to [...]
