Description
A deep dive into Hawthorn’s first year in the Victorian Football League
Foreword by Rohan Connolly
Hawthorn: 1925 explores the little-known story of Hawthorn’s first season in the all-encompassing Victoria Football League. Don’t let Hawthorn’s last-place finish deter you; it was a rich and happy time for the Club, and many grand stories will be revealed here.
Hawthorn would win its first century, 1925 to 2025; its 13 premierships outdid all its rivals. Many brave, persistent efforts and fine heroes from the opening decades when the Club struggled have been forgotten. In redressing that forgetting, in this examination of Hawthorn: 1925, you will discover who played for Hawthorn, who was in charge, how the matches went and a great deal more.
Author Andrew Eyers is a lifelong Hawthorn barracker who has been a member since 1970 and has enjoyed much of the Club’s immense glory. Andrew came to follow Hawthorn via his father, Alan, who watched Hawthorn in 1946, went to most games in 1950 when they went winless, but was at the MCG when Hawthorn and the football world changed its path when Hawthorn won the 1961 Grand Final.
