Josh Gibson Roos: 65 games, Hawks: 100 games to date
100 games, 2 premierships, 1 B&F in a premiership year and The Golden Fist award at Hawthorn. Goofy looking afro at North. He's well and truly ours.
Shaun Burgoyne Port: 157 games, Hawks: 112 games to date
Had him as a line ball after 2013 but now that he's smashed through the 100 game milestone and won his second premiership with us I'm prepared to claim him as a Hawk before a Port.
David Hale Roos: 129 games, Hawks: 90 games to date
2 flags with us. Donuts at North.
Kyle Cheney Demons: 14 games, Hawks: 27 games, Crows: 0 games to date
Was a valuable depth player in his time with us and also a rock (in most senses of the word) at Box Hill. Was apparently the first player to have his name penciled into the Adelaide round 1 team sheet so best of luck to him there.
Jack Gunston Crows: 14 game, Hawks: 65 games to date
The only people who remember this bloke once played for Adelaide are the sooky Crows fans who come out to boo him when the Hawks play in Adelaide.
Brian Lake Dogs: 197 games, Hawks: 32 game to date
Doggies fans will remember him as a dog. Hawks fans will remember him as a premiership hero. Due to the fact any time his career is referenced in the future after he retires it will be alongside photos of him holding up the 2013 premiership cup with the Norm Smith medal around his neck it is likely everyone in between will remember him as a Hawk too.
Matthew Spangher Eagles: 26 games, Sydney: 6 games, Hawks: 19 games to date
See above re: references alongside premiership photos.
Jonathan Simpkin Cats: 4 games, Hawks: 32 games to date
Premierships at VFL and AFL in consecutive weeks have secured his spot in our memories.
Ben McEvoy Saints: 91 games, Hawks: 13 games to date
As mentioned last year, silverware certainly helps speed up the process. I definitely associate him with us only now. Saints fans and lazy commentators who like to bring up how he used to play for the Saints are likely the only ones who still think of his days at St Kilda.
And for the new additions to the list...
James Frawley Demons: 139 games, Hawks: 0 games to date
Again, silverware has proven effective in the "Hawkification" process. I'm not sure on the numbers but he's likely to have doubled his career games won by the end of his first season with the Hawks. He'll certainly have forgotten (ie. suppressed) that he was a Melbourne player.
Jonathan O'Rourke GWS: 9 games, Hawks: 0 games to date
With any luck he'll reach double figure games at the Hawks by the end of the season. Didn't really know or care who he was prior to joining us so in my mind at least he's already a Hawk.
Lance Franklin Hawks: 182 games, Swans: 22 games to date
The wounds left from his leaving have well and truly scarred over now. Most of us can talk about him now without having to spit or spew. The fact the Hawks were able to prove they still had what it takes to win B2B flags without him and against him has been quite cathartic for the majority of Hawks fans. I think quite a few can reflect positively on his time with us again. While he'll be the enemy and a flog while he remains at the Swans it seems unlikely that he'll manage to outdo his Hawthorn achievements.
