SENIOR DEBUT | HARRIET KNIJFF
Congratulations to Harriet Knijff for making her Senior Debut yesterday. Harriet has moved to Victoria to be a part of Port Melbourne’s VFLW program, after playing with University of Queensland in the QAFLW.

SENIOR DEBUT | JON WADE
Congratulations to Jon Wade on senior selection this week after playing well each week in the 19’s. Jon joined us after two strong seasons with Waverley Blues, earning multiple Team of the Week selections and continuing to impress at a high level while still being U19 eligible.
In 2025, Jon was part of the Oakleigh Chargers program, further developing through the elite pathway. His junior career includes multiple B&F’s, along with a Runner-Up League Best and Fairest in U16A. Get along on Saturday and wish him well! Thank to Repurpose It for supporting our Under 19’s team.
GREAT NEWS STORY | ZAC IS BACK
After 3 tough years away from the game due to a number of serious injuries, it was fantastic to see Zac Schmidtke named last night for for the 19’s game tomorrow.
Throughout his time being sidelined since the 2023 season, Zac has remained a huge part of the Hawka family — running water, managing rotations on game day and always lending a hand wherever needed.
A true clubman whose commitment and support for the Hawka Senior teams has never wavered. It’s great to see his perseverance, resilience and all that hard work finally pay off. Everyone at the Hawka is proud to see Zac back doing what he loves.
Play well young fella. #getaroundhim
