Looking for proof of Hawthorn's quality in youth?

You're in the right place. 

The Hawks have played 38 players this season, 24 of which are aged 25 years or younger.

Of this pool of 24 youngsters, 16 of them rank in the top 25 of a certain statistic between those in the same age bracket.

That's a pretty handy strike rate when you consider that there are 390 players who sit in this 25-and-under category that have played this year.
