An unofficial Hawthorn Hawks AFL site about the Mighty Hawks

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?
Newly Recruited Will Langford. Of course he is son of Chris and joined us via the NSW Scholarship program
My son Patrick and I in front of the Hawks 10 Cups. This should be out of date come the end of the year!
Either Amber auditioning for a musical or pointing out this is the area where the interviews are conducted
Thought this might interest someone. One of the Cameras that Hawks active and interviews is recorded with
This is where the videos are edited. A very nice setup! (also a hint of the projected I mentioned on the screen)
One of the Screens used to co-ordinate things. The Guy on there is Daniel who does the Video Production
Stephen Gilham and my son Patrick. Players were very generious with their time considering they were training at the same time

A few years ago the Hawks started up Super Saturday training on the days before they played on a Sunday in Melbourne. It is a great day for the family with Hawka, BBQ and players training and signing autographs. Here are photos from this weeks version. (More photos over here too!!!)
Sam Mitchell had to leave the day early as he had Baby Classes to attend. Luke Hodge had a brief interview and here it is:
