MARKO BECOMES A BULLDOG
Friday, 27 November 2009

The Box Hill Hawks Football Club congratulates 2009 Co-Captain Lukas Markovic on being drafted to the Western Bulldogs with Pick 63 at last night's AFL National Draft.

Markovic, a highly respected figure around the club, played 47 games for the Hawks including all 20 games during the 2009 VFL Season.

Whilst it is sad he will not be a part of Box Hill in 2010, the club is delighted to have played its part to give him every opportunity of achieving his ultimate dream of playing AFL football.

Markovic has also continued the Hawks' amazing record of helping VFL players get drafted to the AFL.

He becomes the 16th Box Hill Hawks player since the alignment was formed in 2000 to be drafted or rookied to the AFL joining the likes of fellow Box Hill draftees Sam Mitchell (2001), Michael Firrito (2003), Simon Taylor (2004) and Ben McGlynn (2006).

On behalf of everybody at the club, we wish Lukas all the best in 2010!
