Hawthorn's Intra-club Match – 5th Feb 2010

February 5, 2010 By Phillip Molly Malone 8 Comments

Wander down to Waverly this morning and what did we find but a bit of a hitout for the Hawks. It was like the good old days at Waverly with misty rain rolling in (not too windy though) so the skills weren’t as good as you would expect in the dry. There were players missing but most of the team was out there (as you can see from the photo below taken after the 1st Quarter). Enjoy. Also, if you wanted to name players in photos at the bottom of the post, would be very helpful for me and others! GO HAWKS (and make sure you are Proud, Passionate and (most important) Paid up)!

Training 1/2/2010 – What's your decision

February 2, 2010 By Phillip Molly Malone 1 Comment

Went down to Waverly today on my way to other things and thought that there was no chance of training as the community camp in Tassie was meant to start toady (Monday). To my suprise the guys were training and in fact had a guest down there. There guess was an AFL Umpirer present. He addressed the team and then addressed the forwards. After they did this, the forwards split up in to groups of two with players kicking it to the other two for a contest with the Umpirer watching on. Most of the photos are from this training were of these contests but some others are here including a sticked together Photo of the group. On to the Photos:

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!

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.
