The Crawford Era

I would like to pay tribute to a very special person that I deeply admire and what he has done to my life.

Shane Crawford.

When I was about 5, I remember I got a whole set of Hawthorn stickers. My dad at that moment, told me to pic out one of the players that look the coolest and guess who I picked, it was Crawf. Ever since then, I have watched his every move, and on september 27th 2008, I was truley hounoured to be watching Crawf holding the cup that he has been despretley wanting in his 15 year career.

He has had some huge moments in his life, heres some of the biggest highlights:
  • Hawthorn best & fairest 1998, 1999, 2002 & 2003
  • Captain 1994-2004
  • International Rules 1998, 1999 & 2002
  • All Australian 1996, 1998, 1999 & 2002
  • Brownlow Medal 1999
  • Rising Star nominee 1993
  • Hawthorn Team of the Century
  • 2008 Premiership side
305 games for the hawks, and now he is done.

Cya round big fella.
