I'm sure the suburb of Hawthorn cares, of course they care and I am sure that there will be plenty of brown & gold around Hawthorn, especially Linda Cres by the end of the week.

Does the suburb of Hawthorn care?

This may just be my bias as someone who can't afford to live in Hawthorn, but I've always felt the Hawks have represented a much broader area than the actual suburb of Hawthorn ever since we staved off the merger *crosses self & spits to left*.
Probably before that.
The Hawthorn name sits well and has the ring of alliteration, but I feel we've really been the South-East Melbourne Hawks ever since changes in our zoning area led us to undergo one of the most successful periods of any club ever.
Dunno about painting up shops (not a huge commercial mandate for that, as Geelong barrackers have in Geelong) but I've seen alot more membership bumper stickers, scarves and guernsey's recently than any other team out this way, ever.

Hi Guys,
I'm a TV journo, looking to do a story on Hawthorn fans in the lead up to the grand final- we're looking for a family, or individuals who are hawks crazy- brown and gold house, that sort of thing.
We're filming tomorrow (Tues) and Wed... if you know of someone, or you yourself would be considered a massive fan, PM me. It's easy to find geelong fans, Hawks fans are spread out over Melbourne!

A question for all our Tassie members. What's the mood like in Launceston? When I was there for the Port game it was very much like a final with all of the shops decorated. Is the place rocking or is it a bit flat with the game being so far away?

I shocked myself at work today. Only checked BF 3 times for a few mins outside of my lunch break! I'm sure it will get harder as the week progresses!
You just kinda trailed off there. How does it end?
Was around the Knox area on Sunday and there were many wearing brown and gold in the shopping centres there.
People around this area are really showing their colours. My house is covered in brown and gold and so is my neighbours!

Where are you in qld????
Are you in brisbane.
I live in brissie.Of course nobody gives a toss here.brisbane only care when the lions get in.And boy when that happens is that bloody painful and boring.I hate when that happens!!!!!
Good work!
Need more of us showing the colours up here.My car is sort of decked out with Hawthorn colours, got my car seat covers and Hawk number plate surrounds. Unforunately you won't see my car driving around much this week as it's going to be at the panel beaters after a motorbike ran up my arse (after being hit themselves) on the Ipswich motorway about a week or so ago. Funny thing was when the firies arrived one of the first things one of them said was "Who's the Hawks supporter?".
Seriously thinking of wearing my Hawks guernsey into work on Friday.

Tell me about it, I was just thinking today how little coverage arguably one of biggest Grand Finals ever is getting up this way, the paper ran just 2 articles about the game, 8 pages into the sports section
I really envy the supporters in the thick of it
Geelong will always have a high percentage of Geelong supporters where Hawthorn supporters would be spread all over Melbourne.
Just back in Oz today and the giant Hawks banner goes up on the front tomorrow in Hawthorn East. The missus is not happy.but all i could say was "Go Hawks"
Live next door to Joe Saba the fashion dude and he and his kids are nuts Geelong. Must be lost

Yeh i work at Knox and there was stacks of hawthorn jumpers out and about. Keep an eye on the produce section there at Coles...will be covered in brown and gold soon.
What do you expect, you live in Ferntree Gully.
It's solid gold. That's the standards we have in FTG.
