I caught up with a mate who is a mad Hawks supporter for a coffee on Wednesday out at Waverley and we watched the Hawks train for about an hour and a half, and I have to say, they looked pretty damn good!!!!!!
Not only that, but I am bloody jealous of the set up they have out there........absolutely fantastic.......the Hawks should be congratulated for setting up an awesome training base!
They were very sharp, and played a few 10-15 quarters before doing laps, then back into game mode.
Standouts were Roughhead........he has bulked up, and marked everything that came his way........he will be a big improver this year.
Beau Muston......the guy that has had a few knee recos looks fully fit, and can seriously play this kid........he could be a gem for the Hawks!
Josh Kennedy (son of John)....the biggest 18 year old rookie I have seen......he has clearly been preparing for his tilt at AFL for a while......he looked impressive as well.
I think the Hawks will be a tough proposition in round 1 of the NAB cup, and I hope the MFC have been working hard in the off season because the Hawks definitely look much better than last year........but time will tell!
