Tasmanians just have to wake up to themselves, we are not serious about having a football team in the big league, we cant be! We let our showpiece team be infultrated by players from another club in another state every week, we let our players train all over the state, do we even have a home...
What if we are such a force in Tasmania that we are virtually undefeatable at Aurora Stadium, it becomes a graveyard for visiting teams. Pull up stumps and leave. I guess you probably would, you would rather see us lose at the mcg than win in Tasmania in any case.
How do you people ever expect your club to succeed when you already seem to be conceding games played at the dome.
It's round , it's covered in grass, it's got post's at both ends, it looks a little like the MCG. If a team is to succeed they need to win everywhere, not just where it suits them...
Football is a business just like any other business. Prices , values are set by demand. It would seem that Spida was in demand, so his worth was calculated acordingly.
Are you telling me you would not sell your $2000 clunker for $10000 if you could get it?
What the HFC were doing...
Hawks only endded up in Tassie in the first place because they were strugling to pull decent crowds in Melbourne to the games where interstate teams play. The ball rests fairly and squarly with members on this count.
Bloody Smorgan saying we have been sold out by JK to Tasmania. Who sold out Footsgray ( remember that name )? Who went begging on "The Footy Show" to keep their club alive? Which team strugled to even find a major sponsor? Some of these twits have real short memorys.
Ian Dicker had the right...
No reason he cant go back to Saints now Thomas is gone. They are in need of a top flight ruckman. The Hobart Mercury featured a colouring contest with Spida in it, how could anyone know what colour to fill in !!!
Yeah , I did miss read his post. But let me tell you this - we will be listed on the ladder as Hawthorn. How stupid are you people, Tassie is just a brand, just like HSBC, I didnt see us listed as HSBC Hawks on the ladder.
You have already had to change your name !!! On the ladder , which by the way I am sure we will still see the word Hawthorn, we dont see North Melbourne.
Well maybe if your willing to tip millions of dollars into the club we can be called the "Herb Hawks"
You people should grow up and see the deal for what it is, a fantastic oppurtunity for our club to move forward and be secure with our $$$$.
Forget about us 500,000 Tasmanians. And so you should, victorian clubs have harvested the talent from Tasmania for years.
Now Hawthorn see fit to show Tassie the loyalty will be repaid (albeit at a $12,000,000 price) some whinging vics feel its not fair for them. Give us all a break and get...
As a Hawthorn supporter, I am very happy. As a person who likes to watch quality football I am happy. As a person who lives in Hobart, I am a little disapointed.
It seems as if you wont see them on Foxtel either anymore. That should really put a bomb up the backside of whingers like you.
I have been a member for over ten years, I have seen them play live maybe 20 times. I dont care, i buy the membership to support the club, not for value for money...
So you begrudge Tasmanians, who get right behind the team, a chance to watch 4 live games a year ? Nobody is forcing you to sit at home, get on a plane and come on down to Tassie, just as I did last weekend, to watch my beloved Hawks down the Dons at the Dome. Reading the posts though, it seems...
Went over to the big island on Saturday night, went to a game. 15 on the ladder V 14, a game here we could hope to get 200 to attend. 45000 screaming tribal fans attended Saturday nights clash of the Hawks and Bombers.
Most fans attending wearing the colours of their favourite club, probably a...
Read those names, now look at the line up of the current team:( There would hardley be a player the whole premier league as skilled as the majority of those blokes. The more we talk and look back, the more it depresess me.
It's not all bad, there are some fine young kids running around, the...
Your not to bad my friend, one of the above. And with a little reading back of some of my previous posts you will work it out. Keep it to yourself. I used to read this alot without saying anything, now I enjoy the odd comment even if some dont agree:D
Footy was awesome back then, I remember as a youngster looking forward to going to the GF, my pop used to take me rain hail or shine. In the rain we would be looking through some holes in the blanket.
How did we let it fall of so badley, what did we do? I know they talk about AFL live to your...
I stated I dont play ? "wishiwas" - "gladimnot" I am 38 now, and I dont play or have much time for local football the way it is now. Infact the quality of local football should be an embarasemant to the state. How can you call it the premier league when you field teams like Brighton and Lauderdale ?
I've got the Premiership Medalion from when winning a Premiership in this competition really meant something.
I've taken my fair share of hits behind the play, but I have given my fair share as well. I am sorry to tell you this, but football did start out as a mans game.
I know you blokes...
