Although they are the youngest AFL club based in Victoria, the Hawthorn Hawks have been the most successful side in the competition these past fifty years, winning ten Premierships since their inception in 1902. Their most recent AFL Flag came in 2008 when Hawthorn defeated the highly fancied Cats.

I empathised with Alistair Clarkson when he called a reporter from the AFL’s website a not-so very nice name. Just to refresh or enlighten you, AFL Media reporter Matt Thompson asked Clarkson at his Friday media conference a question along the lines of “expecting an easy win this weekend?” The question set off Clarkson, whose [...]

There was no re-writing of the record books as Hawthorn saw off a plucky Greater Western Sydney by 83 points in Saturday’s AFL clash at Aurora Stadium. The result might have never been in doubt but predictions the in-form Hawks would smash all kinds of records proved wide of the mark in a 21.14 (140) [...]

Hawthorn will be aiming to extend a six-match winning run when they meet GWS Giants in Tasmania this afternoon. We’ll have live scores from 2.10pm AEST. The AFL might be committed to their GWS Giants project in the long-term, but 2013 is proving to be a testing time for the AFL’s newest club. Last Sunday [...]

Hawthorn should pay danger money to whoever has to sit next to Alastair Clarkson in the coaches’ box. The Hawks boss is renowned for having a volcanic temper – he put his fist through the wall of a box in a game last year. It was on full display again during Saturday night’s AFL win [...]

Hawthorn have dismissed fears of a form slump for star forward Lance Franklin ahead of Saturday night’s AFL grand final rematch against Sydney. The Swans sustained a major injury blow on the eve of the match, with ruckman Shane Mumford (groin soreness) failing to make the flight to Melbourne. The Hawks have their own concerns, [...]

This is set to be a biggest round of the AFL season so far. Two undefeated teams will soon become one, while this round also features a rematch of last year’s grand final. Thus, those two matches will be my feature matches of this round. First, I’ll preview the match which pits the season’s two [...]

Playing alongside one of the greatest forwards in AFL history has convinced Sydney coach John Longmire it would be counter productive to niggle out-of-sorts Hawthorn champion Lance Franklin in Saturday’s MCG blockbuster. Franklin has been held goal-less in the Hawks’ past two games, contributing a total of seven behinds in the wins over North Melbourne [...]

Despite having their fair share of critics during preseason, Geelong have stamped their authority on a 2013 Premiership tilt. The 2007, 2009 and 2011 premiers were not all that fancied when the NAB Cup was before us but now they have made it clear that a fourth flag in seven seasons is a genuine possibility. [...]

If AFL was about the spectacle, Hawthorn – the cool aesthetes of the competition – would be the reigning premiers. Is there a more disparate pair than Travis Cloke and Ryan Schoenmakers? When they lined up on each other in Round 3, if you hadn’t known better, you would have assumed Cloke – scowling and [...]
