    Hawks forced out of Tassie - Where to next?

    Our president has said that the club will endeavour to return these four game to Melbourne. This is the most likely outcome.

    This is not confirmed. Nor is it likely. We have seen the effect playing in humidity has on the Suns post Darwin. Hard pass.

    GWS is the AFL's biggest problem - not North, GC, or Tassie

    Fixture Hawks after Tasmania? We have been evicted!

    The club has come out and said that they intend to return these four games to Melbourne, Think about it. We were prepared to continue playing in Tassie even thought we would be giving up home advantage when we host the Devils. I would suggest the club has already investigated the other option...

    Please can we rules out playing the heat/humidity of NT or NQ? Look at the Suns record following the Darwin games. And there is nothing to be gained by us playing in front of 6k an Alice Springs. Canberra, maybe. But only if GWS move out. 2 games max.

    Yes they are. Reported in multiple media.

    ACCOR is not viable for the Giants. Too costly to reconfigure in between NRL games, and they are not going to draw 20k unless they play the Swans (which was only 23k last time there in 2022).

    Time to re-think the secondary markets

    Tom Morris suggesting that the AFL is about to renew the contract to play games in NT, but that it ‘remains to be seen’ which clubs will be playing there.

    GWS is the AFL's biggest problem - not North, GC, or Tassie

    Caro confirming on FC tonight that the AFL wants the Giants to play one or two games next season @ SCG, but that the SCG contract only allows for Swans games, and the Swans will not budge. Showgrounds is out of action until Rnd 7, so the Giants will likely play a game or two at ACCOR. The cost...

    Why not build new stadiums? 1. Very, very few people would prefer to go to games in the suburbs. Crowds would drop significantly. 2. A very basic 30k stadium would cost well over $500m, and would get little use other than a handful of games. It make no financial sense for anyone involved.

    Autopsy Round 12, 2026: Hawks smack the Saints

    Best game I have seen from McKenzie. Ward continuing his steady growth as well - he went hard tonight. We have an excellent young midfield.

    Autopsy Round 12, 2026: Hawks smack the Saints

    We’re a great wet weather team. Wouldn’t mind a little shower just before the bounce on Grand Final day.

    Melbourne show no longer uses a stadium/ large open space. Sydney should do the same.

    GWS is the AFL's biggest problem - not North, GC, or Tassie

    The stadium is very basic by Melbourne/Perth standards, but by Sydney standards I don’t think that the stadium is the problem. Transport access will improve greatly by 20232 and the best thing to improve the fan experience will be a better atmosphere via a fuller stadium.
