HAWTHORN midfielder Shane Crawford has been warned by the club to avoid further undisciplined acts and tribunal bans.
The warning comes in the wake of Crawford's one-match ban for striking Port Adelaide ruckman Dean Brogan in last weekend's 15-point win at Aurora Stadium.
Hawthorn football manager Mark Evans said Crawford is aware that he needs to change his playing style.
"Shane has told me that he thinks he needs to do things differently. He's aware of that," Evans said.
"He needs to avoid those sorts of actions. They're not going to help him or the team."
"We have to recognise Shane has been in the system for 17 years. But as a club we have been disappointed with the last couple of incidents."
Crawford's latest indiscretion was his 17th booking. He joins former Hawthorn star Dermott Brereton and Kangaroos champion Glenn Archer as equal fourth on the reported players' list, behind only David Rhys-Jones, Carl Ditterich and Greg Williams.
