Hawthorn premiership player and long-time reserves coach Des Meagher has died.
Meagher, who turned 67 on Monday, played 198 games for the Hawks from 1966-76, including their second premiership, in 1971.
He also represented Victoria.
Meagher later coached Hawthorn's reserves for 14 years, leading them to seven straight finals series from 1982-88.
Hawthorn chief executive Stuart Fox said the club had lost a true champion and players would wear black armbands in Friday night's practice match against Melbourne in Launceston.
