While Tasmanians caught up with their favourite Hawks players at Community Camp last week, over 500 members and supporters in Adelaide, Perth, Sydney and Brisbane had the opportunity to mix it with the brown and gold during the recent Hawks on Tour events.

In Adelaide and Perth, Rick Ladson joined Beau Muston and 2009 draftee Benjamin Stratton to take junior fans through a skills session before enjoying a BBQ and Q&A session.

During their time in Perth, the three Hawks also visited the Clontarf Aboriginal College in Waterside, where around 50 footballers fine-tuned their skills during a training session under the players’ direction.

In Sydney and Brisbane, Xavier Ellis, Tom Murphy and rookie Michael Johnston also held a footy clinic with junior members and supporters.

A highlight of the trip was a visit to the Anglican Church Grammar school where co-curricular leaders took part in a leadership and team dynamics session with the three Hawks, who outlined how leadership works within an AFL Club.
