Hawks games don’t stop at the final buzzer.
GameLab is the new home for everything Hawkheads can play, vote on and win, all on one page. Some games reset every day, some every game, and some are always open.
Greater Bank MVP: your vote, every game for a chance to win $5000
Presented by Greater Bank, our Platinum Partner. After every game, pick your standout Hawk. Voting closes at 3pm two days after the game, so you have time to rewatch the highlights and make your case.
Hawks Trivia: a new quiz every week
How well do you know your Hawks? A new quiz drops every week, and signing in with a magic link puts you in the prize draw.
Week 1 is offering a $50 merch voucher or a Ruby Family Pass.
Hawks Grid: nine guesses, one new grid every night
Fill the grid with Hawks players who fit both categories. You get nine guesses and can use each player once. A fresh grid lands every night at midnight, so there is always a reason to come back tomorrow.
Hawks Pecking Order: settle it bracket by bracket
Every Hawks group chat has an argument that never ends. Pick your favourites, work through the bracket and crown the winners. First up, tell us your favourite Retro uniform.
Want to finish the debate in person? Get your mates together and head to a Hawks game, with tickets from $30.
CMG Midcourt Mayhem: four shots, 30 seconds, win up to $500..... or a car!
Presented by CMG. Choose your shooter type and register for your shot at a home game. One fan is drawn about 48 hours before each home game, then gets one run at four shots in 30 seconds.
- Reach the three-point stage and you may win $250 cash.
- Sink all four inside 30 seconds and it’s $500 cash.
- The prizes are not cumulative, so $500 is the most you can win from a single attempt.
- The fastest contestant all season gets a shot at a car thanks to City Motors Group.
Bring the family along to watch live. A family of four gets in for $99.
Enter the CMG Midcourt Mayhem draw
That’s Hawkheads showing up between games, and the next chance to do it in person is Thursday 19th November v Adelaide 36ers at WIN Entertainment Centre.
