Thursday 20 September - 2 days to go
It was back to the training track for Hawks players today after enjoying a day off on Wednesday. Instead of taking the field at the Ricoh Centre though, the Hawks travelled to the MCG to get a feel for the conditions ahead of the preliminary final on Saturday.
Voices were high and the skills sharp as Hawks players and coaches enjoyed the sunshine that bathed the MCG on Thursday.
The players took part in kicking drills, full ground simulated match play and closed the session with goal kicking practice to ensure no opportunities are wasted when it counts on Saturday evening.
