Michael Voss to coach Hawthorn!​

http://www.sportal.com.au/photos/news/095912news.jpg​

Despite an outcry in the media about Michael Voss coaching just the season after he coached, the former three time premiership captain has taken a senior role at Hawthorn after Alastair Clarkson left due to medical reasons. Michael Voss has always been known for developing young players well, and with Hawthorn been such a young side, it was a perfect choice for him. "I think I'm going to really enjoy it here and hopefully in the next half decade I can be apart of coaching a premiership." Meanwhile Voss has named Luke Hodge as captain while Lance Franklin and Sam Mitchell have been named vice-captains.

NAB Cup Summary:​

Round 1: Defeated Carlton by 31 points (Franklin 5 goals, Crawford 3 goals, Hodge 30 possies, Campbell 28 hitouts)

Round 2: Lost to Geelong by 113 points (Franklin 2 goals, Hodge 24 possies, Campbell 2 goals, 20 hitouts - Sewell out for season, knee)

Practice Match: Lost to Kangaroos by 44 points (Boyle 3 goals, Franklin 3 goals, Crawford 26 possies)

Practice Match: Lost to Port Adelaide by 56 points (Boyle 2 goals, Renouf 25 possies, 18 hitouts, Ladson 27 possies)

Vossy Says: "Not a very good pre-season considering what we were expecting. Not only did we have three terrible losses but we have lost our best tagger, Brad Sewell to a knee reconstruction for the season. Our loss to Geelong was unacceptable and I am hoping we can make up for our terrible pre-season when the real season gets underway."

Players to Watch:​

- Lance Franklin (Champion player)
- Brent Renouf (Could well make his debut this year)
- Luke Hodge (Another champion player)
- Rick Ladson (Underated player and could well follow in the steps of Hodge)
