This man is pure Hawthorn. He grafted in the SANFL and did the hard yards. He was told by everyone "You'll Never make it. You're too short and too fat"(sound familiar Sam Mitchell?). He laid off his Mum's pasta and heavy meals preferring to sweat it out and push plates of metal. The boy came to Hawthorn a rough slab of iron and became a Greek statue! He has crafted a stellar career. Three premiership medallions in one of the best ever VFL/AFL squads. Four grand finals for three wins will put you in elite company. Paul Puopolo is a workman, a tradesman....a Hawthorn man. He did it 'The Hard Way' because he's as tough as nails!! (From the MCG stands, a mighty roar erupts) POPPY!!!! We stand and applaud a true Hawk champ.
