Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Hawks' three consecutive premierships were won over which three years?

Answer: 2013 to 2015

Already one of the league's most successful clubs with 10 premierships, the Hawks added three more in as many years from 2013 to 2015.

2. Hawthorn was the third club -- which AFL club was the second to achieved this feat (three consecutive premierships)?

Answer: Brisbane Lions

The star-studded Brisbane Lions of the early 2000s won three successive Grand Finals from 2001 to 2003. Melbourne were the first, winning the flag in 1955 to 1957.

3. Which three teams did Hawthorn beat in their three-peat?

Answer: Fremantle, Sydney Swans & West Coast Eagles

The Sydney Swans, one of the powerhouse sides of the mid-2000s and early 2010s, only played in one Grand Final in this period (in 2013). Fremantle played in their first ever Grand Final in 2014, while the West Coast Eagles won the minor premiership and played in their first Grand Final in 9 years in 2015.

4. Hawthorn won the third Premiership to complete the three-peat despite which key player being traded to the Sydney Swans after their second premiership?

Answer: Lance 'Buddy' Franklin

Amid some controversy, Lance 'Buddy' Franklin was traded to the Swans after the 2014 season. Jarryd Roughead took Franklin's place as the Hawks' full-forward, and booted 50 goals in the 2015 season, including 2 in that year's Grand Final against West Coast.

5. Who were the three Norm Smith medallists in the Hawks' three-peat years?

Answer: Brian Lake, Luke Hodge & Cyril Rioli

Lake, Hodge and Rioli were all key play-makers for the Hawks throughout the three-peat years. Notably, Hodge became just the third player in VFL/AFL history to win multiple Norm Smith Medals after Gary Ayres and Andrew McLeod. Hodge had previously won the award in 2008.

6. Hawthorn had never won back-to-back premierships before their three-peat.

Answer: False

Hawthorn had previously won successive premierships in 1988 and 1989, beating Melbourne and Geelong respectively.

7. Who was Hawthorn's Head Coach throughout the 'three-peat' years?

Answer: Alistair Clarkson

Clarkson was handed the reigns at Hawthorn in 2005. Having inherited a team in a rebuilding phase, Clarkson took decisive action - de-listing some of the more seasoned players and introducing a youth policy. Subsequently, Hawthorn played in their first Finals Series in six seasons in 2007, and won their first premiership under Clarkson the following year.

8. How many minor premierships did Hawthorn win in the 'three-peat' years?

Answer: 1

Hawthorn finished first on the AFL ladder in 2013, winning 19 and losing just 3 games during the home and away (regular) season. The Sydney Swans won the 2014 minor premiership, while Fremantle finished in first position in 2015 for the first time since the club's inception. Hawthorn finished second in 2014 and third in 2015.

9. Who kicked the most goals for Hawthorn in the 'three-peat' Grand Finals (aggregate, not in each game)?

Answer: Jack Gunston

Jack Gunston booted a total of 10 goals in the three grand finals, twice kicking four goals in one game (2013 and 2015). Roughead's five goals in the 2014 decider was the most by a player in a single game across the 2013-15 Grand Finals.

10. Which player kicked goals both for and against Hawthorn in the 'three-peat' grand finals?

Answer: Lance "Buddy" Franklin

Franklin kicked one goal for Hawthorn in the 2013 grand final. After being traded to the Sydney Swans, Franklin kicked four goals for his new side in a losing cause in the following year's grand final.
