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 a solid session on the track on Monday, the Hawks had a lighter session today.

To start the day, the players headed out onto the oval for some light-hearted goal kicking practice, which turned into a goal kicking competition between several small groups.

With some friendly banter, the players tried to put each other off as they had shots from all around the 50, including shots from the boundary.

The players were out there for just on an hour before heading back indoors for a weights session.
