Just saw the footage of the Shiels incident. Jack Graham is a diving pussy. Also how the AFL missed Graham's elbow that triggered the love tap is beyond me. (But doesn't surprise me).

Richmond have always had good support in Tassie. Plus they haven't plaued at Aurora in years so they wer always going to go along in numbers.
This might be unpopular but they have more supporters than us, doesn't mean they are better or worse, but they've got more.
I always get a little frustrated how passive our supporters are; we've been partnered with Tasmania since 2007-ish (?), and UTAS Stadium is rarely close to capacity. If Tasmanian's can't get off their backside four times a year for a team that has given so much to their state, IMO, they don't deserve a full-fledged AFL team.
To be fair half the state aren't Hawk supporters and 99% of the games played down here are against garbage teams that we struggle to get 30k to in Melbourne anyway.I always get a little frustrated how passive our supporters are; we've been partnered with Tasmania since 2007-ish (?), and UTAS Stadium is rarely close to capacity.

We get a pretty good deal from the Tassie thing to mate.
Nooo. Not the captain! Surly it was all TOBI like stratts but he helped leak 2-4 goals too
Seemed quick with the ball & evasive, but didn't seem to put other players into space or hurt opposition by getting dangerous around goal. Don't think he applied too much defensive pressure, either.How do people feel Hanrahan went across the JLT? Only able to follow on the radio and seemed to do a few nice things, but didn't quite put his hand up for senior selection?

This.
If I was only a football fan, rather than a Hawthorn supporter, I'd find it hard to get enthused about some of our launie opposition.
Tassie is Richmond heartland since the Royce Hart days, one of the few chances to see their team. I'm not surprised there was more of them than us.
Good performances without locking himself in. Shows good speed and creativity but I think he is still finding his range at senior level. Needs time in the seniors to do that I guess. There was one moment against Richmond in the last quarter. The ball was kicked forward and Hanrahan was charging at the ball and looked like he was going to have a hard task picking it up. He managed to take it cleanly and turn hard at speed and kick a beautiful kick across the field to a free player. Screamed afl quality in that moment.How do people feel Hanrahan went across the JLT?

And then Breust screwed it up, IIRC...The ball was kicked forward and Hanrahan was charging at the ball and looked like he was going to have a hard task picking it up.

Yeah, but Hart's supporters are still alive.wouldn't think there is more of them in tassie, simply they never get the chance hence they all come out...we had Hudson them Hart the saints Baldock id imagine all 3 are well supported with us the most support
Hard to get big crowds in Launie when we are getting a combination of Port, Freo, Brisbane and Gold Coast shoved down our throats every season.I’m not disputing that hawks in tassie seems past it’s zenith, but over the years, some of the teams have been at the top end of the ladder

I like stratts but he helped leak 2-4 goals too
The Hawks spine will determine our season. Frawley, Mohr, Brand, TOB, Lewis, Schoey and Roughy. These are the players in our spine.
Fr#rk me. We are all-in on Mitch Lewis.
We need a tall shut down backman: answer Kyle Reid. ... All Aus CHB. Yes a bit short but the same height as TOB.
The ONLY player in the team of the year NOT taken in the draft.
Fine only.So did Liam Shiels get cited?
