Interview with Robert Day that may interest some people. The first part of the interview was about his early days in the SANFL. I found it interesting, but if it's only Hawthorn you are interested in, it starts around 24:45. Apparently Day was...
Just taking a look at the DVD "Birds of Prey" that was released by the club in 1998, and what an excellent story it was. It took us up to the non-merger with Melbourne and into the 1998 season. I'm still annoyed no mention was made of Ian Dicker's contribution to the club in terms of our...
There's a suggestion doing the rounds that Eddie Betts may be in hospital recovering from an appendix operation. I don't know it to be true. I saw him yesterday and seemed happy enough. Just thought I'd throw it in to see if anyone knows anything.
Forget the players or which team they play for .....
Why does Trent Cotchin get a fine for his incident, but Easton Wood cops a game? I'm not weighing up whether a player should get games or not, I'm just trying to understand why two incidents are almost identical, and they score different...
Hawthorn appoint CEO
The Hawthorn Football Club is delighted to announce that Tracey Gaudry has been appointed as the club’s new Chief Executive Officer.
Tracey Gaudry is a highly-accomplished leader whose executive and non-executive career spans national and international roles in sport...
In the Semi Final this year, Grant Birchall moved ahead of Al Martello as the person who’s played the most games for Hawthorn in the number 14 jumper. Below is a list of each number and the most games, goals, etc for each one from 1925 to 2016. Some players played their entire careers in the...
I've often considered that the SANFL have a certain allegiance towards W-WT Eagles, today I'm almost sure of it.
I bought a copy of the Grand Final Football Budget and what do I see on the cover? A picture of Malcolm Blight wearing his warriors jumper, another picture of an Eagles player, not...
Since winning our first final against Carlton in the 1957 1st Semi Final, Hawthorn have accumulated an impressive finals record, including the 13 premierships we all know so well.
Yesterday's match against Western Bulldogs was our 82nd final, of which we have won 52 and lost 30.
Played: 82...
As a Hawks supporter since 1968, I've grown a little tired of being called a band wagoner from opposition supporters, so I responded in another thread. I thought I'd place this response in our own board as well as some other Hawks may like to read it.
This is in response to a Richmond...
Here's a question for you Hawks fans. There are several obvious answers to this question, but let's see if anyone gets the answer I'm looking for:
Albert Hyde
Alec Albiston
John Peck
Peter Hudson
Leigh Matthews
Jason Dunstall
What feat do all of these players share in common?
We are told time and again there is no excuse whatsoever for a player making contact with an umpire. Last week we saw umpires loitering around behind the Hawks banner knowing full well the players were running out on the ground. Puopolo sprints through the banner at full speed and collides with...
Geelong champion Jimmy Bartel will miss at least two months of AFL football after scans revealed a torn medial ligament in a knee.
Bartel, 31, will on Thursday go under the knife to repair the damage, the Cats said in a statement today.
The Brownlow medallist suffered the tear in a collision...
Michael says, "On a pitch like this, a bowler's change of pace is important". Yes and no Michael, a bowler mixing up his pace is important on ALL wickets, not just the MCG.
Footballers seem to have a lot of trouble with parked cars these days :)

I posted here because I didn't want non-Hawthorn people reading this.
As a long standing Hawks supporter, I hate to criticize the club in any way, but need to get something off my chest.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced dissatisfaction with services (or lack thereof) when it...

All very true Ricky, but when we have created a situation in Australia where players are being chosen on their one-day performances, how can we ever expect it to change?
The Norwood Football Club is pleased to announce that we have snared the prized signature of triple Magarey Medallist James Allan, who will play with the Redlegs in 2014.
After failing to come to an agreement with his former SANFL club North Adelaide, Allan had been heavily linked with Glenelg...

New Senior Coach – Ben Warren
The Norwood Football Club is proud to announce Ben Warren as newly appointed Senior Coach for the next three years.
The NFC Board determined criteria immediately pointed to a Coach who would build upon...
I have long held the belief that the problem a number of us have with "umpiring" is that too much attention is given to the interpretation of the laws, rather than understanding what players are trying to achieve. Notice I said "umpiring", not "umpires".
This wasn't AFL, but last night in an...

In the Footy Show's celebration of the 60s, they showed footage of the 1963 Grand Final. They showed a player wearing number 1 for the Hawks, it was Peter Lyon, Gary's dad ... and Gary never even mentioned it!!! I just found it a little strange.
Terrific performance from the Tigers today, they really gave us a hiding. Looks like you will have a good year at Tigerland.
Just one problem ... how about you do this to Carlton for a change!!!!! :)
I just found out about a DVD titled "Thrashings". Apparently it features 5 matches where the Hawks belted the hell out of the opposition.
Does anyone know which 5 games are on the DVD? I alreayd have a few Hawks matches and it would be pointless buying it if I already have most/all of the...
