An unofficial Hawthorn Hawks AFL site about the Mighty Hawks
So we are into preseason for 2011 season and after some major work to the playing surface that saw the whole turf relayed, the boys were back training at the famous oval. Most of the players out there and from all reports, quite a long session that included ball work and a simulated match.
By the time I got there, the match was just ending but I was able to get some photos of the boys running. Any help with point out the new players greatly appreciated.
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).
