An unofficial Hawthorn Hawks AFL site about the Mighty Hawks
As we would be all aware, Hawks skipper Luke Hodge, missed round 1 due to an Achilles injury that kept him out of the preseason. He instead had another hitout for Boxhill Hawks and ran the game out well. One piece of brilliance he showed was this roving goal in the third quarter. Enjoy
So my family and I wandered down to the Hawks 2011 Family say that was back at Glen Ferrie Oval, in Hawthorn. The day was more compact then I remember (3 hours instead of 4 or 5) and I liked it. There was a great turn out, so much so there were large lines to get into the ground. Seemed to be a lot to do but I parked myself infront of the stage for Player interviews and the presentation (although I sadly report the need to lineup and get the kids ice creams meant I missed Brucey and Buddy’s interviews). So there will be a few videos (including the next one that will contain the clubs big announcement). But lets kick things off with a couple of interviews. Your Interviewer is the big Dipper and the subjects of the interviews are Jarryd Roughead and Luke Lowden!
So my boys and I traveled down to Skilled Stadium and saw the Hawks beat the Roos 99 – 70. It was a great day and I was joined by my Coaches Box DreamTeam and SuperCoach Podcast co-host, Monty. I may get up some of the videos (that were mostly not great) I took on my phone on this site later this week, but here is a review of the game by main Monty and Patty (with me throwing in my two cents).
Here is the HawksTV interview with Cameron Bruce after he was selected in the 2010 AFL Preseason draft.

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 it is:
