Hawthorn is looking to invest in our Men’s and Women’s Big V programs to bring them the same success that our Junior Magic program has enjoyed for a number of years now. This appointment of Pete compliments the recent appointments of Jai Cesari and Lloyd Klaman to the Women’s Big V and Youth League teams and the reappointment of Shawn King to the Men’s Youth League team.
