Here at Hawthorn, we understand that AFL is a team game. Each player, coach and official is but a cog in the wheel of a well-oiled machine, chugging towards success.

But over the next 11 days, we’re forgetting about the team achievements and throwing the spotlight on individuals. 

Here’s the question; which Hawk has the most impressive trophy case of all time? 

Each accolade has been given a weighting (see bottom of page), and the numbers have been crunched to see who comes out on top. 

Follow along each day on hawthornfc.com.au, as we slowly reveal Hawthorn’s Ultimate Trophy Cabinet.

Catch up: The Ultimate Trophy Cabinet - No.4

3rd

Michael Tuck slots in as having the third-most impressive Hawthorn trophy cabinet. The club games record holder, with 426 career outings, is the only player to have received more than 10 points for his games tally. The only player in the history of the game to have won seven Grand Finals, Tuck also cashes in for 35 points solely from his incredible premiership success. A captain of the club for six years, Tuck was also twice named in All Australian sides and was then later named as the ruck rover of Hawthorn’s Team of the Century.

Points:

426 games (15 points)
AFL Hall of Fame (20 points)

** Despite being a team achievement, we felt it was important to still include premierships, but with considerable less weighting than other individual achievements.
