Minister for Corrections, Lisa Singh MP, said today that a visit to Risdon Prison by players and officials from AFL club Hawthorn provided role models that have a positive influence on prisoners.

Hawthorn players talked with inmates about their careers and then took to the prison football oval for a social kick.

“I believe events like today’s achieve three important goals for prisoners, Ms Singh said.

Jail rules footy anyone? Anyone have any idea as to who went?

Well, looks like we're going to end up with a similar fan base as Collingwood.

Anyone have any idea as to who went?

With the prison being in Hobart, my guess would be the Hobart group... Josh Gibson, Brent Guerra, Garry Moss, Shane Savage and Wayde Skipper.

Just a guess though...

The blurb from Hawks:

an unfortunate turn of phrase from Shiels: "It was my first time at a place like that. Walking in, you see the big gates and barbed wire fences but once you get in there everyone is quite nice. We had a kick of the footy with the boys there and I didn't expect them to have as many skills as they did. They touched us up on occasions."

hmm, touched up in prison? No thanks !!

I think its great that the Hawks cover all bases as far as the community is concerned. These guys have made a mistake in life as we all do ( in varying degrees of course ) and are paying the price, the club provides a good experience to these guys and no doubt would lift the morale.
The club continues to impress me with innovative ideas, not just on field and financially but to the well being of communities Australia Wide and overseas as well - Great Work Hawks

Think you'll find this group was at the Ashley detention center, not Risdon...

That 3rd pic of the Hun's gallery made me laugh... Osbourne taking a hanger over some poor incarcerated teen... Sent his cap flying, knee up in the back... The guy obviously takes his footy seriously.

[Mitchell Madness]

id love the club to have an intra-club match at the prison, with the inmates spectating around the ground. would be possibly the most vocal and intimidating practice match crowd ever, and get the players in good nick for the season

 

[Linda Crescent]

Yet another fantastic initiative from our Club. One for all and all for one ....
