    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Jack Gunston is poised to become just the fourth player to kick 50 goals in Finals for Hawthorn. Gunston’s two goals against Fremantle took him to 49 goals in Finals, trailing only Jason Dunstall (78), Leigh Matthews (72) and Dermott Brereton (53). Gunston has kicked at least one goal in 19 of his 21 Finals, with his biggest haul being five in last year’s Semi Final against Adelaide. Hawthorn has not previously played Brisbane Lions in a Final but did play two Finals against one of its anteceden

    Footy Flashbacks: Hawthorn's first final at Optus Stadium (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Optus Stadium is poised to become the ninth venue at which Hawthorn has played a VFL-AFL Final. The good news is that the Hawks have an excellent first-up record at new Finals’ venues with six victories and just two narrow defeats. Hawthorn won its first Finals at MCG (1957), Waverley (1975), Subiaco (1991), Docklands (2000), Football Park (2001) and Sydney Showground (2025), but lost its first Finals at SCG (1996) and Adelaide Oval (2024) by heartbreaking margins of six points and three points.

    Jack Gunston will this week play his 300th VFL-AFL game and will thus join Russell Greene, Paul Salmon and Shaun Burgoyne as players who reached this milestone at Hawthorn after beginning their careers elsewhere. Both Greene and Burgoyne marked their milestones with victories - Greene in 1988 against Geelong and Burgoyne in 2016 with a narrow victory against Adelaide. Salmon had a much less happy day in 2000, with the Hawks copping a 69-point thrashing from Melbounre. This round will also see fo

    On Saturday night, James Sicily will become the 39th individual to play 200 VFL/AFL games for Hawthorn.

In addition, Jason Dunstall was acting captain when he played his 200th game in 1994. Several other 200-gamers had already completed spells as captain when they reache

    Footy Flashbacks: Record-breaking debutants (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Aidan Schubert’s debut last Saturday meant Hawthorn has had eight AFL debutants in 2026, its highest number in a season in which the team has made the Finals since there were 10 in 1978. In the intervening years, there were three seasons (1988, 2014 and 2016) when the Hawks played Finals having had seven VFL-AFL debutants. Including club debutant Flynn Perez, the total of nine new players in 2026 is the equal most in a Finals-making season since 1978. It is equal with 1996, when the nine compris
