Video – Roughy and Lowden interviewed by Dipper – Hawks 2011 Family Day

DSC04559

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!



2010 Hawthorn Christmas Open Day

2010-12-21-042.jpg

On Tuesday the 21st of December, my family and I ventured down to Waverly for the Hawthorn Christmas open day. It was a little different from other years with a BBQ (manned by Luke Hodge, Taylor Duryea and Xavier Ellis as well as voluneers), some training taking place on the oval but the main thing was the tour of the facilities. Lots, if not all players were on hand and signing autographs and posing for photographs. In addition to these activities, the Hawks Advance Media team invited a few lucky folkes into the Hawks TV Studio where the highly successful Hawks Active TV/Internet show is filmed along with other Press conferences and other projects (including a really big and exciting one for next year 2011).

Amber, the manager of the group, toured us around the studio, that as you will see below, was setup for an interview that was about to take place that afternoon with Buddy and Burgers (which you can of course see on Hawks TV) and took us up to the ladder to the produces area and the area occupied by Jade, the Website Administrator. It was really interesting to see how the area was setup and the projects being under taken. I have a feeling like lots of us, the team is still working out what works and what doesn’t but is definitely starting to push the boundaries as far as new media is involved. And the project I mentioned early seems like lots of hard work is being done on it and the fruit of it will be something that the team and club can be very proud of! Anyway, I took a few photos of the day, and you can find them below with my comments.

If you went, what did you think? And what do you think of the way the club is using the new mediums of Twitter and Facebook?
