All Hawks fans are #1 and each week the Club picks one #1 ambassador to offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

You can catch our #1 Fans at Hawks training or on match-day, where each fan will get up close to the playing group and Senior Coach Alastair Clarkson prior to the big game.

In celebration of 50,000 likers on Facebook earlier this week, the Hawks Digital team asked our loyal likers to nominate the Round 22 #1 Fan of the week to be part of the Hawks' training and match-day preparation.

regular Jenny Du was nominated by her peers to be the ambassador for all Hawks Facebook fans this week - check out her story below.



Young Jenny Du's #1 Fan experience kicked-off as she received a commemorative Five Decades of Flags guernsey from Hawks staff member Aaron.

Jenny was then taken on a tour of the Waverley Park facility as she walked through the Hawks' administration offices and down to the players' warm-up area where she watched the boys running some drills.

Heading out onto the oval, Jenny was introduced to the players by Coach Alastair Clarkson and then worked with the Club's trainers to run water to players during training.

The 15-year-old's day was made when Clarko pulled the players together for a team photo, where her favourite player Lance Franklin posed right alongside her.

"They were so nice, (I got) to have Buddy next to me in the photo as he is my favourite player!

"Thanks everyone for this incredible opportunity - I had a fantastic day hanging out with the boys.

"I will definitely upload more photos to Facebook as soon as possible," Jenny posted on the Hawks' Facebook page.

Jenny also received a signed football from the players and changeroom passes for the Blues v Hawks blockbuster clash tonight.
