Hawthorn has unveiled a new mascot, affectionately known as 'Hawkette'.

Hawkette's arrival is in line with the start of the VFLW season, and she will be seen at both AFL and VFLW games throughout the year.

Hawkette joins Hawka, Hawthorn's much-loved number one cheerleader, as the official mascots of the club.

See below the moment Hawka met Hawkette.
