Fresh off a stunning seven-goal ANZAC Day masterclass against the Cardiff Hawks, Riley Hawes is quickly becoming one of the most dangerous forwards in the competition. We caught up with Hawes at Feighan Oval before Men’s Cup training, where the Bulldogs star reflected on his red-hot form, the move from AFL Sydney and the excitement building around Warners Bay’s season.

Off the field, Riley is a genuine team first character who brings energy, encouragement and leadership to every training session and game day. Humble, approachable and always willing to have a chat, he’s the type of player that makes a club stronger both on and off the field.
