The Hawks are preparing for their annual team photo on Tuesday, so we thought we’d take a look back through the archives to see how much the boys have changed over the years.

 

Luke Hodge

2003 - 2016. This 19 year old would be pinching himself if he knew of the success coming his way.

 

 

 

 

Grant Birchall

2006 - 2016. One of these men is yet to make his AFL debut, the other is the proud owner of four premiership medallions. 

 

 

 

 

 

Jarryd Roughead

2005 - 2016. 11 years ago, who would have thought this baby-faced 19-year-old would be a future captain of the club. 

 

 

 

 

Brendan Whitecross

2008 - 2016. Whitey, and Whitey 2.0. Same same, but different.

 

 

 

 

Shaun Burgoyne

2010 - 2016. If this isn't a perfect advertisement for an anti-ageing cream, then I don't know what is. Aside from the new forearm ink, there is no evidence that Silk has even aged a day.

 

 

 

Liam Shiels

2010 - 2016.  Six years later, and he is now vice-captain of the club, and a triple-premiership player.

 

 

Ryan Schoenmakers

 2010 - 2016. It may have taken six years, but Schoey's finally got that 5 o'clock shadow.

 

 

 

Ben Stratton

2010 - 2016. The grin is just a little bit bigger now that he owns three premiership medallions.

 

 

 

Cyril Rioli

2008 - 2016. Eight years on; less hair, more ink, and Cyril Rioli is now a household name.
