About the Club

Deanmill Football Club was established in 1920 as “No 1 Mill”, taking its name from the timber mill that formed the heart of this small karri forest community near Manjimup in Western Australia's south-west.

The club was renamed Deanmill in 1937 and joined the Lower South West Football League in 1959. Originally known as “The Mill”, the club adopted the Hawks nickname in 1997, along with the now-iconic gold and maroon guernsey featuring a hawk emblem.

From a town of around 400 people, the Hawks have built an extraordinary legacy — 18 League premierships, 12 Reserves premierships, and 13 Colts premierships. The club continues to be the beating heart of Deanmill, playing home games at Deanmill Oval on Ipsen Street.
