Hawks for Change

I've signed the letter referred to in this article (Chris Langford, what a legend) and will be supporting the endorsed candidates Ian Silk and Tim Shearer. The club has come a long way in a short time under Andy Gowers' leadership. Deserves backing in. theage.com.au/sport/afl/lang…

One of the most satisfying campaigns I've ever been involved with. Well done to @StiofanDonnelly for herding the cats and thanks @hart_ben for telling the story of @Hawks4Change thestory.au/articles/hawth…

Chuffed that the @Hawks4Change tale is one worth telling like this; thanks @TheStoryAU - feels a long way from those Batmobile days now. Essential to our success is @StiofanDonnelly's finely-tuned campaign philosophy, which he explains eloquently here. thestory.au/articles/hawth…

Voting closes tomorrow. The only way to truly end Kennett's era at Hawthorn is to vote for the @Hawks4Change endorsed candidates: * Andy Gowers (for President) * James Merlino * Maria Lui * Ed Sill

James and Andy have been very clear: the future of our Club has to be above politics. Good read in the @FinancialReview. The ballot is still open for club members - vote for them today and get your Hawthorn mates to do the same!

Listen to Dipper talk about why he’s backing Andy Gowers: ‘Andy is a guy with integrity and he’s a guy that builds relationships’

Great night at the Glenferrie Hotel speaking to and calling fellow Hawks members about the upcoming election.

"If you elect me as President, I will draw on my 35 years of experience in football to give our teams the best chance for success. Our high-performance culture can set the standard for others to follow and be supported across every part of the Club." – Andy Gowers

“If elected, my first act as president will be bringing the Family Club together for a summit of great Hawthorn people to help heal the divisions of the last five years. To be successful on the field, we must unite off it.” - Andy Gowers

Ed Sill is a great Hawthorn man who supports change and Andy Gowers. Voting for Ed, James Merlino and Maria Lui will support Andy, if elected president, to implement his positive plan for our Club’s future.

Hawthorn members, on the upcoming elections at the club…. After much careful deliberation I’m throwing my support behind Andy Gowers for president. I believe he gives the club the best chance of moving forward in an inclusive and positive manner. Get voting! #AlwaysHawthorn

If you weren't planning on voting in this election, take a read of the great Chris Langford's comments and reconsider. As he says so eloquently, we need change at Hawthorn and we need it now.

"The fact the nominations closed the day they came out, they have tried to suppress opposition. It is straight out of Putin’s playbook. Suppress opposition and control the media.” - Chris Langford, 4 x Hawthorn Premiership Player and former AFL Commissioner
