Great story, great person and great to see all the guys at the club get around him.

Perhaps we should send this little item to the esteemed Mr David Matthews to make comment on and to ensure it gains equal notice from Cogs seeing he is his newly appointed social conscience.

Forward pocket against the Swans this week?

Awesome news, just wondering if this team is actually a legitimate venture for Hawthorn or more of a token gesture?

Sounds like a lot of money to be outlaid to create an entire team just as a token gesture. We already have a AFL wheelchair team so it's not without precedent.

Our Blind team has had it's first win!!!



Absolutely love this club.
All the boys look so happy. Also great to see Cebby being so vocal at the end. He certainly presents himself as a leader within the group.
Awesome.

Love how much we're putting into alternative brands of footy that help include more people into this sport! Cebby is an absolute jet and I'm glad he gets to play for the mighty Hawks!
