Great news for VFL coaching stalwart Andy Collins, with Hawthorn confirming he'll return to the Hawks as head of development. He served as an assistant to Sam Mitchell at Box Hill Hawks this year.

It’s great to have Collo back at the club. His experience will be invaluable for the younger players especially, to help them develop and grow into the next champion Hawthorn team.
