Kratak osvrt:
Po hladnom vremenu odigrana je zadnja i finalna utakmica Prvenstva Hrvatske u australskom nogometu.Agram sa 15 igrača uvijerljivo je pobijedio hrabe Hawkse koji su se lavovski borili.
Golove za Hawks su dali : Joža 2.3, Matija 2.2, Krešo 2.0, Adam 1.2, Ante 0.2, Rushed 0.2.
Golove za Agram su dali : Cvele 5.1, Srpek 4.1, Vanja 2.3, Franic 2.2, Matija Mamić 1.1, Fran 1.1, Maki 1.0, Milijan 1.0 , Rushed 0.2.

Ukupni rezultat je bio Zagreb Hawks 7.11.(53)- 17.11(113) Agram Power.

Ovom pobjedom Agram Power osvaja 2. Hrvatsko prvenstvo u australskom nogometu pobijedio je Hawkse 4-3.Čestitke Agramu na osvojenom prvenstvu i Hawksima na dobroj borbi.Agram Power je osnovan ove godine a većina igrača je došla iz raspadnute ekipe Kaptol Saintsa + novih igrača.
Nažalost suradnja sa sestrinskim klubom iz Australije Port Adelaide Power je očito naišla na neke poteškoće u komunikaciji te su dečki iz Agrama bili primoreni trenirati i igrati u dresovima Kaptol Saintsa.Nadamo se da će ova pobijeda doprijeti i do naših prijatelja u Australiji pa obnovimo suradnju i dobijemo toliko očekivane dresove i lopte.

Dosadašnji osvajači su bili:

2008. Kaptol Saints
2009.Agram Power

7.06.2009.

Teren: Grunt, Horvaćanski zavoj 15, iza DIF-a
Vrijeme: 18:00
Prognoza: Promjenljivo

Zagreb Hawks vs Agram Power

Momčadi:

Hawks:
Obrana: Ujko, Ante, Veco
Veza:Joža, Bare, Renato
Napad:Kolja, Krešo

Power:
Obrana:Tompa, Vranić, Josip J.
Veza:Adam, Fran,Darko
Napad: Matija Mamić, Deranja

Sudac: Vinko Šego (Dred)

Tijek utakmice:
Početak je počeo bolno za Agram ozljeda Josipa Josipovica u prvom napadu dodatno je oslabila momčad Agrama. Nakon toga odlučeno je da se igra 7 na 7 jer nema dovoljno igrača Hawksi igraju sa dodatnom zamjenom.Nakon izlaska Josipa Hawksi počinju svoj show dominantno na svim pozicijama visinom i brzinom daju 4 gola 2 Kolja koji svojom visinom dominira nad jos neiskusnim Vranićem te po 1 Krešo i Renato. Nakon 8 napada Hawksa napokon jedan obećavajući napad Agrama završava sa behindom.Zadnjih par napada Renato koristi svoju brzinu i agilnost te daje svoj drugi gol a u listu strijelaca se upisuje i vedran.Četvrtina završava 6.6.(42) - 0.1.(1) za Hawkse.U drugoj četvrtini ništa se nije promjenilo Bare, Kolja , Joža i Renato se upisuju u strijelce (Bare 2, Kolja daje svoj 3ći gol, Renato daje još dva a joža se upisuje u strijelce sa hat-trickom).U Agramu vlada panika iako daju svoj prvi gol djelo Darka koji se ovom prilikom vratio u velikom stilu nakon saobračajke i više od mjesec dana izbivanja sa terena te mu ovom prilikom želimo da tako nastavi. Na poluvremenu rezultat je bio 14.11.(95) - 1.4. (10) za Hawkse.Treća četvrtina nakon što su Ujko i Ante dali golove za Hawkse dala nadimak kao utakmica u kojoj su se svi igrači jedne ekipe upisali u strijelce osim njih Krešo je dao svoj drugi gol , Joža još dva i Renato kojeg je bilo po cijelom terenu svoj 5 gol. Agram i dalje djeluje slabo i Darko se opet upisuje u strijelce svojim drugim golom.Rezultat 20.14.(134) - 2.7.(19) .U zadnjoj četvrtini vec standarno momčadi hvata umor pa i kvaliteta pada Hawksi daju 5 golova (Ujko njegov drugi gol , kolja daje 2 i krešo dva). Iako bez zamjene Agramovci uspijevaju koliko toliko u ovoj četvrtini parirati Hawksima te daju vise golova nego šta su dali u prethodne tri četvrtine u listu strijelaca se upisuju Darko sa njegovim 3 golom, Adam i Fran sa privijencima i time tekma završava reultatom 25.16.(166) - 5.9.(39) .

Ovaj rezultat trenutačno ulazi u povijest kao najveća pobjeda Hawksa protiv Agrama.
Iako treba napomenuti da je veliki nedostatak ključnih igrača (Franić - more, Milian - more-radi, Cvele - rad, Maki - ozljeda, Svoboda -bolestan) uvjetovo ovom rezultatu. U velikom smo iščekivanju daljnjeg raspleta 2. Hrvatskog prvenstva u australskom nogometu. Trentačni rezultat je 3-2 za Hawkse.

Nažalost utakmica koja je bila zakazana 21.06.2009. nije se održala zbog nedostatka igrača naime kako naše klubove tvore uglavnom studenti i radni ljudi nismo mogli održati utakmicu zbog studentskih obveza (ispiti) i godišnjih odmora.Nastavak prvenstva održat će se u 9 mjesecu.

Teren: Grunt, Horvaćanski zavoj 15, Iza Difa

Agram Power vs Zagreb Hawks

Postave:

Agram:
Obrana: Josip J. , Tompa, Vranić
Veza: Milian, Fran, Franić
Napad:Cvele, Mamić
Hawks:
Obrana:Ujko, Kolja
Veza:Bare, Joža, Krešo
Napad: Matija, Deranja, Rob

Sudac: Vinko Šego

Zamjene:
Agram: Svoboda
Hawks: ništa

Utakmica je počela u dominaciji Agrama, Matija u prvom šprintu obnavlja ozljedu butnog mišića pa izlazi iz igre igra se 7vs7 pri čemu Agramovci imaju igrača u zamjeni. U prvoj četvrtini Agram daje 5 gola (2 Franić, Milian, Cvele,Svoboda), dok Hawksi svega 1 gol kapetana Jože i par behinda.U drugoj četvrtini Agramovci gaze i dalje sa time da rade puno behinda (Mamić stariji daje svoja prva 2 gola , Franić i Tompa po jedan).Sa druge strane Joža kao da se bori sam protiv Agrama daje 2 gola.Na kraju prvog poluvremena rezultat je 64-21 za Agram.Treba napomenuti da Hawksi nisu igrali bez svojih glavnih igrača u obrani , vezi i napadu Ante i Adam su bili spriječeni a Renata je pokosila gripa.Drugo poluvrijeme je počelo kao što je i završilo ranim golom Franića .Sredinom četvrtine nastupio je Cvele show koji svojim prodorima i udarcima daje svoj drugi gol i postiže čak 4 behinda , od strane Hawksa primijetio se pomak na bolje pri kraju 3 četvrtine Krešo daje svoj prvi gol i Joža svoj 4tvrti.Rezultat krajem 3 četvrtine je bio 91-35. Posljednja četvrtina igrala se u egalu sve do zadnjih par napada kada Hawksi oslabljeni za 3ojcu ključnih igrača osvajaju četvrtinu i dokazuju da kad se malo slože mogu konkurirati u ovom trenutku spremnijim i jačim Agramovcima (Joža 3 gola za HAwkse i nekoliko behinda od Deranje i Brune ) za Agramovce Cvele i Fran su se upisali u strijelce za konačnih 109-59.

Najbolji na terenu: Franić

Nažalost ja nisam prisustvovao utakmici pa je ovo više napisao napamet i i bez ikakvih pomagala svega sam imao papir sa rezultatom i tko je dao najviše golova pa ovom prilikom prozivam dotične ljude da čuvaju rezultat i golove da opet ne izmišljam toplu vodu.

Hvala,
Maki

5. utakmica drugog Hrvatskog prvenstva između Hawksa i Powera biti će naknadno napisana.

Pre season London trip 09.04.-13.04.

2009-05-31T20:21:00.006+02:00

The Zagreb Hawks football club travelled to London for this years preseason trip to take part in a friendly game against the West London Wildcats. The two clubs met previously in Split during the 2007 season when the Wildcats travelled to Croatia for their preseason preparations, so this was an excellent opportunity to see some old friends and to play against arguably the best footy club on the old continent. The Zagreb Hawks, after training hard during the off season and with a squad of eighteen fit players arranged to play the clubs first ever proper 18 a side footy match in London to give the boys a feel for what the real game is all about. Coming from a background of 9 a side footy, the Hawks were up for an uphill battle from the very start while also sporting a side with some new local recruits playing their first ever football match altogether. Nevertheless the Hawks were off to a great start by scoring the first point of the game but unfortunately this wasn't a game of soccer and there was plenty more to play for after the celebrations wound down from the loud and eager Zagreb supporters. What we witnessed next was a flawless performance by the London Wildcats who out ran, out jumped and out played the young Hawks side in every segment of the game showing their class, experience and all the skill you would expect to see from the English champions. To Zagreb's defence, the team had no substitutes to help out and give some tired players a well deserved rest and running around such a large oval all afternoon was something the team was not used to, which did not help the tactical plans the captain had in mind in any way. At the final whistle the Wildcats ran away with the win outscoring Zagreb by a massive 114 points with the final scores standing: Wildcats 117 : Hawks 3

The preseason trip was a great experience for our young players and there are many things the team will take away from this loss which will surely pay dividends in the future.

The club would like to thank everyone involved with the organisation of the trip, all the supporters who came along with the team and the West London Wildcats for their hospitality, the highlight being the Easter Sunday church party which was something else!

Veza:Franić, Fran, Milian
Napad:Cvele, Matija, Svoboda

Zamjena: Alan

Suci: Ante & Maki
Kratki osvrt:
Agramovci zbog nedostatka svojih ključnih igrača u vezi (Darac, Srećko i Maki koji su načeti ozljedama) tokom sezonske pauze su uspjeli vratiti u svoje redove Miliana Mamića da popuni rupe u momčadi jednog od vođa prošle godine kada su tadašnji Saintsi osvojili naslov .
Agramovci su usli odlično u utakmicu i vec nakon 4 minute vodili su za 3 gola moram pohvaliti vezu Špansko Milian-Matija-Franić koji su zabili početna 3 gola.Cvele ubacuje jedan gol pa je nakon 6 min Hawksi koji su zadnju tekmu uvjerljivo pobijedili zaostajali vec za 4 gola, Joza uviđa greške izgubio je vezu Krešo i Dean se ne mogu nositi sa Špansko crew ( :) ) . Vraća sebe u vezu i već sljedećih par napada uspijevaju postaviti kolku tolku ravnotežu Deranja daje svoj prvi gol na utakmici a nakon toga i Kreso se upisuje u strijelce ali Cvele je na svojoj visini a priključuje mu se Franić sa još jednim golom (potvrđuje svoju preciznost sa zadnjeg treninga a i učestali treninzi su napravili svoje) vraćaju na početnu prednost od 4 gola zadnju akciju ima Joža kada između Cvele i Josipa J. marka u stilu Lloyda( :) he he moram se malo ulizivati) i sa blizine od 2 m zabija za smanjene vodstva.Prva četvrtina je završila 39:20 za Agram.Druga četvrtina je počela dobro za Hawkse Joža se opet upisuje u strijelce ali tad nastupa Cveletronik daje 3 gola Hawksima za redom nakon njega se budi stari mačak Johnny (koji je zbog neigranja mnogo igrača obukao dres Hawksa) i zabija svoj prvi gol nakon gotovo 6 mjeseci negiranja od umirovljenja, nakon njega vrata su se otvorila i Renatu ,Franić pridodaje jos jedan gol za Agram i Agram zaslužno ide na poluvrijeme sa vodstvom od 27 bodova.Poluvrijeme Hawks : Agram 41:68.
Treću četvrtinu Hawksi počinju sa zamjenom na rucku Bare za Kolju i Renato za Krešu time se pojačala obrana i ojačala veza u prijenosu lopte a i Fran je bio manje uspješniji u rucku.Agram je odigrao odlično taktički i postavio brzanca Josipa J. na Renatu u vezi i obavio odličan posao jer ga je skroz ugušio pa on nije uspio pucati na gol.I ovu četvrtinu je dobio Agram koji je predvodio Svoboda sa dva gola , Cvele i Milian su ubacili po jedan Hawksi su lukavošću Johnnyja 2 gola i Joža 1 gol bili koliko toliko u igri ali nekako se u zraku osjećalo da je to dan Agramovaca na kraju 3 četvrtine rezultat je bio Hawks : Agram 61:96.4 četvrtina počinje u ravnopravnoj borbi koja je rezultirala golovima Deranje u Hawksu (pri tomu se ozlijedio ali nastavio dalje igrati) i Cvele u Poweru, sredinom zadnje četvrtine Hawksi napokon imaju premoć ali ne uspiejvaju to iskoristi čak 7 behinda i dva gola Jože nadoknadila su svega 3 gola redom Matije, Svobode, Franića.Utakmica je završila Hawks : Power 88:124.

Treba napomenuti da za Hawkse nisu igrali Bruno TH, Matija , Vedran, Ante i Adam.
Najbolji na terenu: Cvele

Grunt

Zagreb Hawks vs. Agram Power 103 : 88

Hawks: Kolja 3, Mamić 4, Ujkec 1, Ćoto 3, Bruno 1, Renato 2; i vjerovali ili ne 19 behinda(većinu možemo mamiću pripisat )
Power: Cvele 3, Darac 3, Maki 1, Dominik 2, Franić 2, Mark 1, Mamić 1, Fran 1; 4 behinda(vjerojatno tvoji cvele )

Mali osvrt: na kraju prve četvrtine kojom su u potpunosti dominirali agrameri golovima Darka, Cveleta, Franića, Makija, Frana ,dok je Hawkse Kolja drzao na životu, bilo je 49:28 da bi se danas odlični Hawksi probudili početkom druge i potpuno nadigrali suparnike. Tu najviše pohvala zaslužuju Mamić ml. i Ćoto , doduše krajem druge čet još je uvijek bilo 62:61 za Power zahvaljujući isključivo preciznosti napadača Agrama Dominika i Marka, ali uraganskom trećom četvrtinom Hawksi bježe u nedostižno vodstvo, u strijelce se upisuju i Ujkec i Bruno, te kako je utakmica odmicala sve bolji i bolji Renato.Treba čestitat i obrani i vezi Hawksa koje su odradili odličan poso dupliranja na Cveli što se ispostavilo kao važan čimbenik. Rezultat krajem treće četvrtine je 102:81 za Hawkse. Četvrta četvrtina je nažalost prekinuta i biti će nadoknađena u slučaju da prvenstvo bude neriješeno.

Zahvaljujem Deranji na kratkom osvrtu i ovom prilkom pozivam sve na 3-ću utakmicu hrvatskog prvenstva između Zg. Hawks i Agr. Power u nedjelju 10.05. u 12 sati na Gruntu iza Difa.

Croatian championship - Game 1

2009-03-10T17:06:00.003+01:00

In the first game of Croatian championship held at "Grunt" pitch, the only two Croatian teams met for the first time after last year game 5 that decided the 1st Croatian champion. Last years champions previously known Kaptol Saints, changed their name into Agram Power to recognize their heritage (being mostly guys born and raised in Zagreb). The first quarter Agram showed why they were dominant team last year and took a 3 goal lead at one moment, but in second quarter Hawks scored 5 unanswered goals in 4 minutes and took a 5 point lead at the half time. 3rd quarter was tight, and the battle has been held in the midfield, while in the 4rt quarter the game became more physical but that and dominant ruck of Power team didn't help Agram to come close, and few last minutes goal saw Hawks wining the match by 17 points.

Final score: Zagreb Hawks - Agram Power 117:100. Best on the field: Tomislav Cvetko; Umpire: Johhny Srpek; Attendance: 30

Next match is next sunday. Next 3 weekends we'll play each Sunday to get ready for our Easter trip to London and matches against West London Wildcats and England national team.

Croatia won silver medal at EU Cup in Prague!

2008-10-13T14:47:00.002+02:00

Croatian national team in Australian football - Croatian Knights - just came back from Prague after competing in 3. EU Cup. As a newcomers we didn't expect anything, we knew we can compete with most teams, but thought that teams that recently came from International Cup in Melbourne would have too much experience for us. We started great after beating our 3 nation nemesis Austria with 103:26. The second group match a bit tougher but we prevailed in second half and won against France 83:47. With that win we won our group and played quarterfinal match against second in their group - Scotland. That game we set as the biggest game in the tournament. If we could beat Scotland we would be delighted with top 4 finish, more then we could expect. We were so motivated and nobody could stop us, not even Scottish Bravehearts. Croatia won 97:55. At that moment we were celebrating, but also realized that this doesn't mean we achieved our goal and don't have to play anymore. Germany was awaiting us in the semis, and we knew that we are heavy underdogs against Germans. The game was tight the whole way, Germany led by 12 points, but Croatians came back, took lead and held it to the end. At the final siren it was 74:70. At that moment we just exploded, we could not hide the tears, all the hard work was giving dividends. England wasn't pleased to see us wining that game, as they could see that we don't fear anyone and play with all we get. I would dare and say that we were the best prepared team at the tournament as nobody got injured and nobody got tired after playing 4 matches.
The final started at 6:30 under the lights with heavy fog coming to give it a mystical feel. English Dragonslayers started hard and took few goal lead, but Croatians didn't fold and scored few goals while missing few that could be crucial to the development of the match. English team was much stronger and faster, and they utilized those weapons really well. The match was full of attractive catches and tackles, and the crowd recognized the fighting spirit of Croats and gave them overwhelming support. But not even that was enough for a comeback. At the dying minutes Croatia conceded few more goals and England comfortably won by 107:59. England was by far the best and most skillful team at the tournament, and won deservedly. As much as English players were celebrating, Croats did too. We did loose the final, but we won the silver, much much more then we could ever dream off.
The celebration lasted till the wee hours in the morning and even on the way home. It will take few days to realize what we accomplished, but it will take only a week before we start preparation for the 2009 EU Cup. We are hungry for more, and every year will come better, stronger and more skillful.
England, Germany, Scotland, Catalonia and some other countries have a developed league, some have more then 1000 registered players, while we have 25 players and barely 2 teams, and we competed against those guys. I'm proud of what we accomplished and I'm proud that we have such players, but moreover such characters and such people who play fair on and of the pitch.
Also I would like to give a big hand to our fans. 25 of them went with us and were there all the time, singing all day and night. It might be too pretentious to say without them we wouldn't accomplish such a result, but for sure without them it wouldn't be as much fun as it was. Thank you fans, we'll take you with us everywhere we go...
A big thanks goes to organizers as well. This looked like a World Cup of Football tournament, with live broadcasting on the net, with stationary bikes and masers to help keep worm, with great merchandise and brilliant trophy presentation event at Iris hotel. Will anyone be able to organize it on that level again, I doubt it.
At last but not least - i just have to share the feeling I had when Croatian national anthem was playing before the match. No I understand what's going on in the minds of Niko Kranjcar and Luka Modric when they listen to the anthem at the Wembley. I do understand, but I can't put in words. Your heart at that time is twice the size, but not poetically, physically... for real... 15 of us players were singing like there's no tomorrow, and maybe lost some energy that cost us in the match against England (of course not, but...). Oh what a feeling...
Can we play that tournament next weekend too?

Photos will come soon.

2008-09-24T23:17:00.004+02:00

Come see us battle for the European supremacy and enjoy the sights of Prague.

CROATIA NEW CENTRAL EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS

2008-05-04T22:44:00.001+02:00

Croatia yesterday confirmed itself as an emerging force in Australian Rules Football as it comfortably beat all opposition in the Central European AFL Championship held in Zagreb.

Austria and the Czech Republic journeyed down to the Croatian capital in an attempt to grab the Central European title but the Croatian boys were simply too strong on the day and deservedly took the trophy. The ever growing interest in Aussie Rules in Croatia actually allowed the hosts to form 2 teams for the tournament!
The day kicked off with the game between Croatia ‘A’ and Austria. A 5 goal first half gave Croatia ‘A’ a 27 point lead at half time which was extended to 44 points at full time. Croatia ‘B’ then grabbed an early lead against the Czech Republic before running away with the game in the 2nd half to win by 56 points. The 2 Croatian sides met in the next game, with the ‘A’ side winning but it’s worth mentioning that the ‘B’ side actually ‘won’ the 2nd half! The Czech’s then led Austria by only 8 points at half time in what was the closest contest of the day. A strong 2nd half performance by the Czech’s saw them finish the game 21 points in front. Despite playing again after a very short break, the Austrians led for most of the first half in the game against Croatia ‘B’. The Croatians controlled the 2nd half though and ended up winning by 36 points. The final game of the day saw Croatia ‘A’ totally control the first half
against a tired Czech side, opening up a 76 point lead by half time. To their credit, the Czech’s increased their effort in the 2nd half to score 3 goals straight but Croatia ‘A’ won the game by 97 points.

Some nice weather, together with the BBQ and beer supplied by the hosts, allowed the spectators (and players) to enjoy the day and look forward to the next opportunity of playing Aussie Rules in Zagreb.

Czech Lions quest for the title (and photo-shoot)

Ove godine Cesi se ozbiljno pripremaju za sezonu. Imaju dosta ljudi, treniraju na super terenu (rugby klub Slavija) i jednom tjedno imaju trcanje i plivanje. Ove godine ih ima vise nego prije. Ovo nije da nas prestrasim, nego da nas potaknem da radimo vise i bolje.
Ako otvorite ovo galeriju (http://gallery.mac.com/johngoddard#100008&bgcolor=black&view=grid) vidjet cete jos slika Lionsa koji su se slikali ispred Praskih landmarks. AFL ove godine slavi 150 godina igranja footyja i zamolio je sve klubove da se slikaju u dresovima na poznatim mjestima u svom gradu. Dali smo mi u mogucnosti napraviti isto? Da se svi skupimo jednu subotu ili nedjelju ujutro (za najbolje svijetlo to bi bilo oko 7 ujutro) i da naedjemo nekoga ko se bavi fotografijom da nas malo uslika, ne samo da posaljemo slike AFL-u nego i da imamo slike za sebe, da se mozemo profesionalno predstaviti (da ih stavite na facebook)... Dali neko zna nekog (polu)profesionalnog fotografa koji bi bo voljan to napraviti za nas.

I jos nesto, objavljujte ovdje i postove vezane za trening (sto vise novih postova to vise boljih reklama dodje na nas blog - skupljih) a onda i mi vise klikamo. Zagreb Giants softball je u 2 mjeseca generirao 148 dolara a mi sve skupa u 4 mjeseca zasad imamo samo 38. Zato svi se ukljucite u postavljanje postova ovdje (i klikanju reklama naravno)

CROATIA DEFENDS CROWN

Croatia has retained the Tri-nations title by defeating a combined Austria/Czech line up at the
Croatia Open tournament in Zagreb on Saturday. Seven hours of constant rain meant the ground looked like it
was ready for a waterpolo match but the Croatian boys adapted quickly to open up a 32 point lead at quarter
time. The Knights increased the lead by half time and weathered a strong showing from the guests in the 3rd
quarter before storming home to a 77 point victory.

BREAKING NEWS FROM HAWTHORN

2007-10-08T08:38:00.000+02:00

President unveils new logo at awards dinner

HAWTHORN Football Club president, Jeff Kennett, unveiled on Saturday night a new look for the Hawks in front of a sell-out audience of over 1300 at the 2007 Peter Crimmins Medal awards night.

The Hawks will play under the new logo in 2008, which displays a strong and determined Hawk, focused and ready to hunt.

The brave new shield represents an unwavering horizon for the club which has re-built itself both on and off the field to be one of the most exciting young and talented teams in the AFL, as well as one of the most professional administrative teams in Australian sport.

In 2007 the Hawthorn Football Club started the first of a five-year partnership with naming rights partner Tasmania.

This partnership, coupled with an exciting brand of attacking football, showed a bright future for the Hawthorn Football Club.

This promising future is reflected in the new design by renowned Australian design firm Cato Purnell Partners.

Cato Purnell have been responsible for some of Australia’s leading icons and brands, including the Commonwealth Bank, Medibank, Macquarie, Channel 7, MSAC Aquatic Centre, VB and Carlton Draught.

In creating a new direction for the Hawks, Cato Purnell Partners, under the guidance of Ken Cato, felt they needed to reflect the focus and determination he had observed within the club so as to communicate that effectively to its members.

“The new shield portrays a sense of determination, pride, and focus. The Hawthorn Football Club is a club on the move. In the design we have hoped to capture the steely resolve it takes to win a premiership. That is the clear ambition of the Hawks,” Mr Cato said.

Jeff Kennett was delighted to present the new logo to the Hawthorn faithful at the 2007 Peter Crimmins Medal.

“Hawthorn Football Club has gone through a transformation in recent years, rebuilding itself to be competitive in all areas of football.

“[Head coach] Alastair Clarkson and his coaching staff have done a terrific job of bringing together an exciting group of young talented footballers, who have shown in 2007 they can play an impressive style of finals footy.

“The new crest for our club symbolises the focus and determination of everyone involved with the Hawks; our players, our staff, our members and supporters, and our board,” Mr Kennett said.

“We have competed under our previous banner for 10 years and the club feels the time is right to regroup and be represented by this brave new look as we continue to grow both on and off the field.”

Hawthorn Football Club logo history
When Hawthorn joined the VFL in 1925, the initials HFC within a circle on a brown and gold flag was introduced as the logo. The club was known as the Mayblooms.

In 1943 the club was christened the Hawks when coach Roy Cazaly sought a more robust image. The new logo depicted a Hawk carrying a football in its talons flying in front of the Hawthorn Football Club flag.

A stronger and simpler version of the Hawk was adopted in 1948, and later depicted in 1952. In 1955 the flying Hawk carrying the football was reintroduced. This popular image became the face of the Hawks through the 1960s and 1970s when Hawthorn won four premierships.

To herald Hawthorn’s progressive publicity push in 1982, the new force of the 80s, a new logo was sought. The club approached Swinburne Institute where a student submitted the winning design, the stylised Hawk head.

This image represented the club’s most successful era with five premierships.

By the mid 1990s the club had endured the merger debate and the logo once more returned to the flying Hawk.

After 100 years at Glenferrie the club moved in 2006 to Waverley and now 2008 will herald a new era of success - under this Hawks logo.

THANK YOU

As my speach after the tournament was short, I woud like to extend it this way.
Thanks to participating teams, for coming down to Zagreb and playing in such terrible condition. This tournament wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for our sponsors so I would like to mention them: PB Grupa and Arsenal Zadar- thank you for your financial support year after year, Nichola Leeming, Dijana Grahovac and Australian embassy - thank you for your generous support and for coming to the tournament when eveyone else would stay home, Roko Kero and Karlovacko for 100L of beer supply (if the weather was better we would have more guest and drink all 100L with no problem), Ivana Pandza and Badel for a supply of Unique water, Mario Suica for providing PA system which as well as all cabels needed to watch Wallabies play rugby and Ivan Srpek for his endless suply of vine. Thanks to "Kum" Hrvoje for all the fruit he donated. Finaly somoen who's feeding us with healty food.
Also many people steped out and gave time and service to the club: Robert goyevic, for being my memory ( I would forget so many things if it wasn't for his checklist emails), Kreso for sorting accomodation, and about everyone else from the team for putting up posters, making Croatian Knights banner and I could go on and on. Thanks Ivan Peric for being a scorekeeper and Adam, Sunil and Robert for umpiring the game.
If it wasn't for rain this event would be vay better, but we are sure that next year we'll put up even better event with more teams and more beer.
Thank you all, if I forgot anyone please let me know, I can edit post.

After tournament party at Piranha Bar

2007-10-04T13:20:00.000+02:00

After the tournament we'll have a party at the field with DJ Romano spinning some tunes. There will be BBQ and 100L of beer. After we finish off the supply we'll go crosstown and party at the famous Piranha Bar at Jarun lake. For the players entrance is free and there are few tables reserved for us. It's an upscale bar so dress accordingly.

From zagreb-life.com:
Don't worry about the sinister name; it says nothing about the club's clientele. Truly one of the places to be seen in Zagreb, Piranha Bar is where the city's young and beautiful come to play at night. Regularly playing host to some of the hottest and exclusive parties in town, it's definitely worth checking what's going on and when so you can have your photo face ready. Set out on Lake Jarun, a taxi or tram ride will be necessary but definitely worth the effort to make sure you arrive there sparkling. Go dancing among Zagreb's finest.

3rd leg of 3 Nation tournament - Croatia Open

2007-10-02T16:59:00.001+02:00

Dodjite i pogledajte kako Hrvati igraju Australski nogomet i kako im ni iskusni Australci nemogu stati na put. 3 sata uzbudljivih utakmica ce biti zacinjeno dobrom proslavom uz Australskog DJ-a, rostilj i Karlovacko. Ulaz besplatan, parking osiguran, a ako se i napijete bit ce designated drivers koji ce vas voziti doma.
Evo i kako je ribafish opisao nas sport u novom broju Playboya:
Hrpa divljih mladaca u majicama kojima je netko strgao
rukave igra nesto sto nije nogomet, ni ragbi, ni rukomet ni americki nogomet
nego sve pomalo, i pritom se posteno mlati. Igraliste ima oblik koji nema
nikakav oblik, a sudaca ima ko kenje i stalno dizu i spustaju ruke kao da su
na aerodromu. Umjesto gola, tu su neki jarboli za zastave…

Gledanje Hawks - Crows utakmice

2007-09-30T20:57:00.000+02:00

DAkle u ponedjeljak u 8:30 kod mene je gledanje utakmice finalsa od ove godine izmedju Adelaide Crows i Hawthorn Hawks. Utakmica je puno zanimljivija od Grand Finala tako da vam nece biti dosadno. Ako Srpek dodje onda ce on doniti pive sta je ostalo od rostilja, a ako ne onda je BYOB (bring your own beer). Odgovorite ovdje ko moze doci.

IMPORTANT - Grand Final Party

2007-09-28T15:50:00.000+02:00

There are some trouble wiht the venue. They didn't get Setanta sport on time, and now we are trying our best to get it last minute. So please check back here before you leave for the party as I will post here the news. Either we'll get Setanta sport on time, or change venue (we need to talk to the manager of the other venue).

So just check back here for news before you go. Even if you can't check and you come to the Olp Pharmacy Pub, I'll leave a note on the pub's door (with map) about the other venue.

Soory for the inconvinience.

EVERYTHING IS BACK IN ORDER. PARTY WILL GO AS PLANED, THE DOOR WILL OPEN 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE KICK OFF (6:25). NO BREAKFAST SO BRING STUFF FROM A BAKERY IF YOU WANNA EAT. WE CAN'T BE NOISY BECAUSE THE NEIGHBOURS MIGHT CALL THE POLICE, SINCE THAT TIME IS NOT THE REGULAR OPERATING HOURS FOR THE PUB.

Hrvatska reprezentacija u australskom nogometu
proteklog je vikenda nastupila na meðunarodnom
natjecanju u Pragu. Turnir je drugi dio serije 'Tri
nacije' – natjecanje u kojem igraju Austrija, Èeška i
Hrvatska. Prvi dio serije odigran je u Beèu u lipnju,
a Hrvatska je ponovila svoj tadašnjih uspjeh, te je
pobjedama protiv Èeške i Austrije osvojila prvo
mjesto.

Hrvatska je otvorila turnir pobjedom protiv domaæina.
Nakon što je Austrija takoðer porazila Èešku, zadnji
susret je odluèivao pobjednika. Austrija je bolje
poèela i imala vodstvo na kraju prve èetvrtine ali
Hrvatska je nakon toga preuzela kontrolu te ostvarila
svoju drugu pobjedu.

Zadnji dio serije odigrat æe se u Zagrebu 6.
listopada, a Hrvatskoj je na tom turniru dovoljna i
jedna pobjeda da obrani titulu prvaka 'Tri nacije'.

CROATIA WINS PRAGUE CUP

The Croatian national team in Australian rules
football participated this past weekend in the Prague
Cup tournament in Prague, the 2nd leg of the ‘Tri
Nations’ series (contested by Austria, Czech Republic
and Croatia). The 1st leg of the series was played as
a part of the Central European AFL Championships held
in Vienna in June and Croatia once again beat Austria
and the Czech Republic to win the Prague Cup.

Croatia opened the tournament with a victory over the
hosts. After Austria had also proved to be too strong
for the Czech’s, the final game of the day decided the
winner. Austria started very well and led at quarter
time. However, Croatia got it’s game together to take
control of the match and achieve it’s 2nd win for the
day.

The final leg of the ‘Tri Nations’ series will be
played in Zagreb on 6 October, with Croatia requiring
only one win to retain the ‘Tri Nations’ title won
last year.
