Ron Nalder
Ron Nalder is the only man with the surname initial "N" to have played 100 or more games for Hawthorn. Nalder played 121 games for the club between 1959 and 1966. Predominantly a midfielder, the Maryborough local was one of two Hawthorn reserves in the triumphant 1961 grand final. His best year came in 1963, when he kicked 17 goals from his 19 games and played in the grand final side that lost to Geelong.
David O'Halloran
Throughout a nine year career with the Hawks, O'Halloran played 160 games and won two premierships. Affectionately known as "Rubber", he is remembered as a great defender and was named in the backline of the 1982 VFL Team of the Year. Recruited from Ivanhoe Grammar School, O'Halloran retired after the 1985 grand final loss to Essendon.
Michael Osborne
Recruited as a rookie from Labrador, Queensland, Osborne played 168 games for the Hawks over a 13-year career. Osborne was a true utility player, having experience in each area of the ground throughout his career. Osborne was named on the half-forward flank in the 2008 grand final, having the third-most disposals for the Hawks that day in what would be his sole premiership.
David Parkin
One of only seven Hawks to hold Legend status in the club's Hall of Fame, Parkin epitomised the attitude his legendary coach John Kennedy had towards the game. Renowned for his toughness and hard-working ethic, Parkin served five years as captain, including captaining the 1971 premiership side, Hawthorn's second flag. Parkin's career finished after 211 games for Hawthorn and five appearances for the Victorian representative state side.
John Peck
Debuting at the young age of 16 in 1954, John Peck would have a 13-year career with the Hawks, kicking 475 goals to have him currently sit seventh on the all-time Hawks goalkickers list. The first Hawk to achieve the feat, Peck topped the league's leading goal kickers in three consecutive years of 1963 through to 1965, as well as winning the club's goal kicking award in six consecutive years between 1961 and 1966. Peck was inducted into the Hawthorn Hall of Fame in 2009.
John Platten
Known as "The Rat" due to his diminutive frame and tangled, long hair, John Platten was a star on-baller for the Hawks throughout a golden era. A four-time premiership player, he is one of only five Hawks to have won a Brownlow. Hailing from the Central Districts in the SANFL, Platten enjoyed a 12-year career in the brown and gold in between stints at his local club. Among other career achievements, The Rat won two Peter Crimmins Medals, the Brownlow Medal in 1987 and is a five-time VFL Team of the Year/ All Australian member. Platten's impact on the sport has been recognised by his inductions into the AFL, SANFL and Hawthorn Hall of Fames.
Ted Pool
Hailing from Kalgoorlie in WA, Pool arrived in Victoria to play for Hawthorn in 1926 and carved out an outstanding 13-year career. Upon playing his 200th and final game in 1938, Pool became the first Western Australian-born player to play 200 games in the VFL. Unfortunately, Pool's career coincided with an era of seemingly constant poor form meaning that the Western Australian's 200 games have him sitting fifth on the all-time list for most games played without playing a final. Former teammate of Pool's and Team of the Century back pocket player Albert Mills described Pool as "the best rover I ever played with. He was a marvel."
Darrin Pritchard
With the 1987 departure of Rodney Eade, the Hawks were in need for a replacement wingman. The alternative was quickly identified the next year with another talented, pacy type from Tasmania, Darrin Pritchard. Pritchard made an immediate impact earning a spot in the premiership sides of 1988, 1989 and 1991. Despite suffering a broken leg in 1995, Pritchard was able to work his way back into senior games for the Hawks. He retired two years later in 1997, after 211 games.
