[CENTURION]

Amazing to see 3 Centrals juniors picked up by the Hawks. Of course some pedigree there, with the great John Platten. Does the Hawthorn recruiting boss have some links with some of his old foes, giving him the inside tip?

A bit of history with the Dogs and Hawks

Dew, Guerra, McCabe and Clarko in the last decade or so.. and back when Platts went over we ended up with Rudi, Lee, Flintoff and Shields all who were good contributors..

Obviously going back a fair while but history seems to be repeating..

Hopefully they'll all come back to us.

Marco Bello at Box Hill is kind of a Hawthorn affiliation.

We have Saunders joining us in 2026, ex-Hawthorn!

Nick Russell was in their coaching team for an extended period of time.

No mention from the club re Diekman as a recruit

Diekman and Murray Bastick are listed as ins on the SANFL site.
More depth for our reserves I guess.
Hoping that we might have a few more on the way.
