Kyle Cheney (running with Jordan Lewis) will wear 13 after AGM Jumper announcement

At the Hawthorn Annual General Meeting, on top of the announcement of another 2 million dollar profit, a final membership tally of 54,473 (a rise of 2.9%), a further 5 year extension to their Tasmanian Deal, the club announce new player numbers for both the new players comming in and a few changes of the young players.

Kyle Cheney got number 13 and fellow tradey David Hale got number 20, while Cameron Bruce got Michael Tuck’s old number 17. First round draft pick, Issac Smith with carry around 16. Fellow National drafty’s Paul Puopolo (28), Mitch Hallahan (38) and Angus Litherland (42) all got higher numbers.

The Rookies also got their numbers with Sam Menegola (44), Tom Schneider (45), Derrick Wanganeen (46), Will Langford (48) and Jack Mahony (49) got the really high numbers.

Two of the famous numbers at the club were also given new backs to sit on with Luke Lowden getting the number 30 left free with the defection of Campbell Brown to the Gold Coast. Hawks best first year player of 2010, Ben Straton will get the great honor of wearing the number 24 that became free when Trent Croad retired this season. Full player list with numbers below.

Training Photos – The Factor is back!

March 7, 2010 By Phillip Molly Malone 8 Comments

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 long way to go for Young to return to the team, but it at least is positive news.

So the injury to Taylor (4 months) will mean its almost certain that Wade Skipper will be upgraded and it will probably mean that KT (Jarrod Kayler-Thomson) will also get upgraded along with Garry Moss. To my calculation there could be one more spot and that might be a battle between Carl Peterson and Luke “Punky” Breust. (a few more photos available here).

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!

Training Photos – 17 Feb 2010 – Burgoyne joins Main Group

February 18, 2010 By Phillip Molly Malone 6 Comments

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 these guys. The good news was the guys that were in the main group (for the first hour of training that I saw anyway). The guys I was excited to see most were 3 new guys and one young guy that we haven’t seen a lot of. Josh Gibson, Rhan Hooper and Shaun Burgoyne along with second year rookie, Carl Peterson (who is looking lean). I am trying something different with the photos. I will include some photos here and then there is about 100 of them on the following page that you can check out. On these posts I try not to have too many of the same player where as on the Page there are some players that there are many photos of (Shaun Burgoyne just to name one). Here are the photos:

Training Photos – 10 Feb 2010 – Where is everyone?

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, would love to put them up).

Enjoy the photos below! Who looks good. Don’t hesitate to comment below (have made it easier but will moderate to stop spam).

Training 25/11/2009 – More Running

November 26, 2009 By Phillip Molly Malone Leave a Comment

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, who is hoping to be picked up in todays draft. From the phantom drafts that have come out, it appears he might be waiting for the Rookie draft to be picked up as a Mature Aged Rookie.
