Our daily updates will count down the days until game day as part of our extensive coverage of all things Hawthorn this finals series.
After enjoying the day off on Wednesday, the players were back at the Club on Thursday to ramp up their preparations for Saturday's Preliminary Final against the Power.
The day began with some meetings before they headed out onto the training track at midday.
The session last just over an hour, the players looked sharp as they got some solid run into their legs ahead of the game.
The boys then headed back indoors to hit the gym, to make sure they are fit, strong and raring to face what will be a ferocious Port Adelaide team.
