Player Of The Week
The Hawks had a lot of players that contributed to their Grand Final win. One who was very important when the game was in the balance was Stuart Dew.
Kicking 2 goals that gave the Hawks the momentum to get the win. Taking a very strong mark in the middle of the ground to stop dead a Geelong attacking move. Dew was in the right spot when it mattered during the biggest game of the year.
His stats included 2 goals and 1 behind, as well as 10 kicks, 9 handballs and 5 tackles.
It was a low-risk move by Hawthorn when they drafted Dew. Some in the media and at other clubs derided them for doing it but obviously they were wrong. He may have been a “Mountain Dew” but that is a good thing, as he used his size to run over players and his big leg to kick the ball longer than most other footballers.
The Hawks received the biggest reward possible from their investment in Dew and now he has premiership medals from two clubs.
