HAWTHORN is in good shape physically and mentally as it kicks off its 2013 campaign with a training camp on the Sunshine Coast.
The entire Hawthorn playing list flew to Queensland today.
Speaking at Melbourne Airport, forward Jarryd Roughead said the Hawks had moved on from their heartbreaking Grand Final loss to Sydney and all players had returned from their post-season break in great shape.
Roughead said it was a welcome change to previous years, when multiple players suffered delayed starts to pre-season.
"Everyone's come back in good nick. We've only had a couple of blokes with surgeries that aren't running so to have 40-odd blokes out there running around is always a good sign," he said.
"A couple of years ago we probably had a fair few other blokes injured, so it's good signs early."
The notable exception is captain Luke Hodge, who has stabilisation surgery on his left knee. But Roughead said he was recovering well.
"Hodgey had a couple of surgeries but his rehab's been very good so far and I wouldn't be surprised if he's running soon."
He said the players weren't dwelling on what might have been in 2012.
"We've had three months off now so you've got to move on pretty quick. You can't afford to stand still. We've moved on and we're just looking forward to next year."
Asked about dawn drug tests for Collingwood players in Utah, Roughead said he wasn't bothered by the prospect of testers showing up on the Sunshine Coast.
"We're told that even when we go on holidays you could be in the middle of nowhere, but you've still got to get somewhere to present a sample. It just comes with the job these days and you've got to get used to it."
Roughead also backed Hawthorn training in Queensland while rivals including the Pies head to high altitude in North America.
"Those boys have got 20-hour flights and we've only got two hours. Different clubs have got different ways of training, it worked for us last year and we'll go up there and do it again this year."
