Olsen to break Hawks record

Drouin’s David Olsen will claim the record for the most senior games for the Hawks when he runs onto the ground at Leongatha in Round 16.

A life member, best and fairest winner and former club captain Olsen has played at Drouin throughout his career that started off in the juniors.

Olsen started in the under 15s in 2000 and in only a few short years earned his first senior match in 2002. The 16 year veteran played in Drouin’s two Gippsland League Grand Final appearances in 2009 & 2010 amassing 245 games.

Round 16 will mark his 246th senior appearance in a career that spans the West Gippsland, West Gippsland Latrobe and Gippsland league’s.

Olsen will overtake Drouin club legend Stephen Bethune’s 245 game mark for the most number of senior games in the maroon & gold.
