Five Decades of Flags

This year, the Club recognises the 50-year anniversary since Hawthorn’s first premiership success and celebrates the achievement of ‘Five Decades of Flags’.

Hawthorn played rather an insignificant role in the VFL, for more than 30 years. That changed in the late 1950s when the Hawks made their first finals appearance and in 1961 won their first VFL Premiership.

Be there to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hawthorn's 1961 Premiership and Five Decades of Flags at the Season Launch, book online now.
