Hawthorn
"Under the gruelling commando-style regime, the players reached a pinnacle of physical fitness that had probably never previously achieved in the history of Australian football. There was no finesse about John Kennedy's approach, but no one could deny it was effective ...

John Devaney charts the history of the mighty fighting Hawks, most successful V/AFL club over the past 40 years
