5. After the 1991 premiership, a book was put out about the Hawk premiership win. What was this book called?

Answer: Too old, too slow

This was a dig at the media who wrote them off at the start of the season for being too old and too slow to have a chance.
6. Which All-Australian Hawthorn backman has the nickname 'The Grasshopper'?

Answer: Jonathan Hay

Hay and Smith were both All-Australians in 2001. Ayres and Collins together with Chris Langford regularly made up the All-Australian full back line in the mid to late 80's.
7. Which Hawthorn player was the first to equal Bob Pratt's effort of 150 goals in a season?

Answer: Peter Hudson

Dunstall's best single season effort was 145 and he is the all-time leading goalkicker for Hawthorn, Dermott once kicked 8 goals as a teenager in a Grand Final side that lost by more than 60 points. Leigh Matthews (rated the greatest player to have laced on a boot) is the Hawks second all-time goalkicker.
8. Which Hawthorn player once broke a behind post in half when he collided with it at full tilt?

Answer: Leigh Matthews

They did call him Lethal for nothing.
9. Which of the following did not occur in the 1989 Grand Final vs Geelong?

Answer: Geelong lead at quarter time

In perhaps the toughest Grand Final of them all the Hawks raced to a 40 point quarter time lead only to see the lead wittled away to just 5 points by full time. Dipper was so injured he couldn't even accept his medal and was immediately rushed to hospital (he had played the entire second half with a broken rib and punctured lung and hadn't said a word). Dermott was the catalyst for the win, after being wiped out at the opening bounce and with a split kidney and severe internal damage he refused to leave the field.

He marked over a pack a minute later and kicked a goal. The coach Allen Jeans sent the runner back out with just one word 'Inspirational'. Stephen Hocking - well that just plain stings.
10. Which of these people did not coach Hawthorn in the 1990's?

Answer: Leigh Matthews

Matthews, one of the Hawks most celebrated players has coached Collingwood and Brisbane to premierships but has never coached the Hawks.
