1914 was the year that the Hawthorn Football Club joined the Victorian Football Association (VFA), playing in senior competition for the first time. 1914 also marked the start of World War 1. Among the many recruits were Hawthorn players, both VFA and those who had played for the club during its time in the Metropolitan Junior Football Association.
Hawthorn Football Club acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the traditional custodians of the lands and water on which we live, learn, work and play. We pay respects to Elders both past and present and stand together with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders of today and tomorrow.
