  • What will it take for Hawthorn to be next year's Premiers?

    With the grand final just past, Hawthorn won a back-to-back premiership, becoming the first team to do so since Michael Voss\' Lions. The Lions went for a 3-peat and won the premierships each year between 2001 and 2003, becoming only the fourth team to ever do so.

  • Where?

    \"Remain in me, and I will remain in you.\" (Luke 15 verse 4) Some of Christ\'s most famous words to his chosen disciples while he walked on the Earth.
