THE CLUB

HISTORY

History

The Hawthorn Amateur Football Club has had over 1000 players represent the club since it was reformed in 1995. These current and former players, together with our volunteers, supporters, sponsors, family and friends, make up the fabric of our club.

​After the Hawthorn Citizens folded due to lack of players in 1989, a number of past players consisting of Ed Sill, Rod Lord, Jamie Law, Bob Lovich, Steve Timewell and Glen Stallworthy started the Hawthorn Amateurs with one team in 1995. Numbers and support quickly grew and the Reserves team was formed in 1997.

We grew to three teams with the inception of the Spartans Club XVIII side in 2011. In 2017, the club entered a fourth team in the inaugural VAFA Women's Competition who went on to become the first ever VAFA Women's Premiership team. In 2022 the Women's Reserves side made its debut to bring the club to an equal number of Men's and Women's teams.
