Voting closes tomorrow. The only way to truly end Kennett's era at Hawthorn is to vote for the @Hawks4Change endorsed candidates:
* Andy Gowers (for President)
* James Merlino
* Maria Lui
* Ed Sill
ANALYSIS from @JakeNiallTHEAGE: His name is not on the ballot, and he won’t be continuing as president after next Tuesday, but @HawthornFC's election is largely about the legacy and personality of one man: Jeff Kennett theage.com.au/sport/afl/this…
James and Andy have been very clear: the future of our Club has to be above politics. Good read in the @FinancialReview.
The ballot is still open for club members - vote for them today and get your Hawthorn mates to do the same!
Listen to Dipper talk about why he’s backing Andy Gowers: ‘Andy is a guy with integrity and he’s a guy that builds relationships’
Great night at the Glenferrie Hotel speaking to and calling fellow Hawks members about the upcoming election.
Ed Sill is a great Hawthorn man who supports change and Andy Gowers.
Voting for Ed, James Merlino and Maria Lui will support Andy, if elected president, to implement his positive plan for our Club’s future.
"The fact the nominations closed the day they came out, they have tried to suppress opposition. It is straight out of Putin’s playbook. Suppress opposition and control the media.”
- Chris Langford, 4 x Hawthorn Premiership Player and former AFL Commissioner
This is how you deal with state governments - no wild late-night tweets. Proper consultation. Ed Sill will bring this to the board if elected. A clear departure from the Kennett-Nankivell years. Vote for change.
If you weren't planning on voting in this election, take a read of the great Chris Langford's comments and reconsider.
As he says so eloquently, we need change at Hawthorn and we need it now.

Yet another strong endorsement for Andy from another Hawthorn great. The voices rallying behind Andy get louder by the day. Voting is now open to members. Be sure to check your inboxes and tick Andy Gowers, Maria Lui, Ed Sill, and James Merlino in your ballot!
Ian Dicker was instrumental to saving Hawthorn and he wants James Merlino on the board so that the Club can now benefit from his vast experience.

Andy Gowers: “Good news for our Club and Tasmania! Lovely to visit Launceston on Monday and, if elected President, I look forward to discussing both the Tassie Devils and the Hawks’ partnership with the Tasmanian government. Hawthorn's continued presence in Tassie is a priority.”
Hawthorn will continue to call Launceston its home away from home in 2023. 🤝

Thanks Jeff for confirming that you’ve cost the Club $15 million. Appreciate it!
If you want a President that won’t drive a block hole into our Clubs finances, then vote Andy Gowers.
“I’ve got to be quite honest...”
Jeff Kennett blames his own political commentary for $15 million funding snubbing.
