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.
Thought I would add some points from our Round 1 NAB Cup 2010 win against the Tigers. [Read more...]
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).
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 below)). One of the nice sights to see and hear is Max Bailey taking a very active role in the rehab group (okay, I mean I would rather him not in the rehab group but you know what I mean)! Anyway, I am sure your not here for my report, there are better around, on with the photos!
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.
Campbell Brown and Lance Franklin
Jarrod Roughead and Luke Hodge
Beau Muston, Grant Birchall and Ryan Schoenmakers
More training shots (not many, got there late) from Hawks Preseason training including the unveiling of the Hawks new ruck coach, Damian Monkhorst. I haven’t seen this officially announced yet but I guess this photo sort of makes it official. If you have training shots from your teams training sessions you are okay with me adding to the site, please let me know. Also if you want to write training reviews for the site, also let me know! Willing to open the site up to other authors/Photographers and am okay to link back to your sites/businesses (for example if your a photographer) as long as you add value. Contact me or leave a comment!
