Ca'rn the Hawks

The Hawthorn Hawks won the Grand Final so the neighborhood has been full of ruckus. It's been fun though to see everyone out and about in their team colors. The best part of the whole sporting event to me was the presentation of the medals. Each Hawks player was presented a Grand Final medal by a little kid who was involved with AusKick which teaches boys and girls Aussie Rules Football. It was really cute. There were signs this weekend "Ca'rn the Hawks". Somehow, in Aussie speak "ca'rn" means "come on". I don't think I will ever learn all of the slang but I am working on it.
