Australian Football has been played in the Hawthorn district since the 1880s, and the modern club can be traced to 1902. After over a decade playing in the Victorian Football Association competition, Hawthorn gained admission into the Victorian Football League in 1925, alongside North Melbourne and Footscray.
Hawthorn spent more than three decades in the league before breaking through for their first finals appearance. The Hawks were finals regulars in the 1970s and 1980s, and dominated the premiership during the 2010s.
Relive each year of the Hawthorn Hawks in a round by round account of the Australian Football League competition. Including statistical information, this is a must for AFL fans everywhere.
