Born to bleed \\\'brown and gold\\\' with family ties, historical investment and ongoing future commitment to \\\'MY\\\' club. The greatest, most powerful and successful AFL/VFL team of all. The mighty HAWKS! Always Hawthorn.....nothing comes close. \\\"This is a simple game. Either we have it. They have it or it\\\'s in dispute. Simple\\\" A Jeans, Legend. \\\"My footy did my talking.....lots of it.\\\" (Smile) M Tuck, circa rnd 7, 1991 after training at Linda Cresent while chatting to my late father and Gary Buckenara. \\\"Don\\\'t think! DO!!\\\" J Kennedy, Legend. \\\"Proud, Passionate and Paid Up!\\\" HFC membership motto circa 1997-1999 and still associated with the club now. Powerful, emotive and very successful campaign slogan. \\\"If you lose one soldier...you replace him with another.\\\" A Clarkson, coach. 2013 post season after L Franklin signed a nine year deal with Sydney FC. Clarkson is the AFL\\\'s most progressive and \\\'natural\\\' coach and he fits the Hawthorn \\\'Family Club\\\' ethos to perfection.

I like the thought. Not sure whether any club would ever reveal the pay structures of their entire list. The mid tier players at Hawthorn would’ve been happy with some extra ‘love’ in their pay packets with so much more becoming available once Buddy left. Although the common thought is that the Hawks kept all of that dose….I feel there may have been some incentives for the entire squad with regards finals etc.
Luke Breust, Jack Gunston, Liam Shiels, Isaac Smith, Paul Puopolo et al surely got some extra gravy at seasons closure.
Of all the talk I am still on the fence re Frawley and I believe he is on far less money than $500000. Shopping himself around at $700-800000 got him nowhere fast and if he wants success he must first prove himself in a Brown and Gold guernsey. He is no walk up start. I’m sure he was made very clear of that position entering into contract talks. Clarkson is no mug. The team plays for him and they understand their place within his, the clubs, framework. Kyle Cheney said as much earlier this season. The same goes for every player on the Hawthorn list.
Ryan Schoenmakers and Mitch Hallahan have refused interest from rival clubs due to their loyalty and contentment within this same environment. Sadly Sam Grimley hopes to move on. I, for one, believe he could easily slide into the forward fifty and enhance that area greatly. The years Hawthorn has spent developing his talents is beginning to pay off. Fingers crossed he remains a Hawks. He is a formidable leading target. At 200cm he is sure to attract interest.
Well done Nota. I liked your article. Transparency is well overdue. Across the entire league. Not just the clubs. The third party agreements and the rest. That is a bow too long to draw I fear.
Back to Back…..WOW! Feels pretty bloody good……..reminds me of spring 1989. The good old days are back. CARN the MIGHTY HAWKS!!!
Player payments must be made public for free agency to work
Regardless of what anyone believes…..I enjoyed the year. The Hawks were outstanding. Clarko…….he’s a master. Looking forward to next year. CARN THE MIGHTY HAWKS!!!!!
