Fun one. Pretty sure that since 1950 our club captain (not including fill-in captains) has always been a one-club player (VFL/AFL only). Pretty nifty record - pretty sure no other club comes close to that.
 
If Sam mitchell gets 31 or more disposals in the grand final he'll have the 8th highest disposals in a season ever. He currently has 714 disposals (his highest ever) 8th all time on the list is Leigh Montagna with 745. Hawthorn's highest ever is Terry Wallace in 1983 with 765, which is 3rd highest all time. Mitchell needs 6 disposals to break into the top 20 all time.

Highest all time is Dane Swan in 2010 when he had an amazing 820 possessions. Likely 500 of them turn overs.

As well as being Jordy's 250th Saturday was also Josh Gibson and Luke Breust's 100th win in Hawthorn colours

Next win will be Liam Shiel's 100th

Other players that could notch up 100 wins in B&G this year
Stratton (91)
Puopolo (95)
Smith (96)
 
On the 24th of June Hawthorn will have been premiers for 1000 days.
 
So I noticed today that Clarko has coached Hawthorn in exactly 269 games, the same number as the great Chief played for the Hawks

Wins Clarko 170 vs Piggy 177 the Chief wins round one
Flags Clarko 4 vs Piggy 4 even stevens at this point
 
2013 - Geelong were on top 10-1 at Round 11 .. Hawks beat them in the Prelim.
2014 - Port Adelaide were on top 10-1 at Round 11 .. Hawks beat them in the Prelim.
2015 - Fremantle were on top 10-1 at Round 11 .. Hawks beat them in the Prelim.

2016 - North Melbourne are on top 10-1 at Round 11 .. Hawks will beat them in the Prelim .. And play in the GF against Sydney!

Interesting but not interesting.
Hawthorn's average goals scored against Footscray/Bulldogs is 13
Hawthorn's average behinds scored against Footscray/Bulldogs is 12
Footscray/Bulldogs average goals scored against Hawthorn is 12
Footscray/Bulldogs average behinds scored against Hawthorn is 12

This means we have averaged 13. 12 against the bulldogs while they have averaged 12. 13 against us.

In terms of average score though we average 89 points against the dogs and they average 84 points against us. Where'd the extra point go?

In terms of average goals per game, Luke Lowden is our fourth best forward of all time. Of the top goal kickers in terms of average per game, he is also our most accurate. Jus' sayin'
 
After 12 rounds of season 2016, 94 players have kicked 10+ goals. With some clubs, eg Syd, GCS, Dogs, WCE it's becoming clearer which players you'd like to shut down to improve your winning chances.

With a win this weekend Clarkson would move into 18th all time for wins as a coach with 174 placing him one clear of Bomber Thompson and one behind Denis Pagan

It's also like an "8 pt game" because Eade is sitting at 176 wins. Eade is the only current day coach ahead of him. I don't see that status lasting more than a month.
And chasing Clarko's tail is Worsfold (150) and Ross Lyon (146). Can't see either of them making up too much ground on our super coach in the short term.

And, of those names mentioned, Clarko is the only one-club coach which i think is even more impressive.
