Hawthorn has finalised its AFLW coaching panel ahead of the upcoming 2025 NAB AFLW Season.
Daniel Webster will again lead the AFLW Hawks, fresh from inking a new deal to see him locked in as Senior Coach until at least the end of 2026.
Webster enjoyed a strong debut season as coach, guiding Hawthorn to a maiden finals appearance in the club’s most successful season to date.
Returning alongside Webster is Keegan Brooksby as Midfield Coach and Steph Binder as Backline Coach, who both enter their second season as line coaches after joining last year. While completing the coaching lineup is the addition of Cam Howat, who steps into the role of Forwards Coach in 2025.
Howat is no stranger to the brown and gold, having spent the past four seasons in Box Hill’s VFL program as a line coach working with both the forwards and the backs. Prior to pursuing a coaching career, Howat played 21 games for Richmond across three seasons.
Hawthorn General Manager of Football Operations Max Bailey said the club was excited by the assembled coaching unit for the 2025 season.
“With Daniel at the helm, Keegan and Steph in their respective lines once again, and the inclusion of Cam, we have great faith in the knowledge and experience of this group,” Bailey said.
“We know full well they have established great relationships with the players and know how to get the best out of them, so we look forward to seeing where they can lead our group in 2025.”
