The water in Tassie...

[Kramer1]

Aside from great beer Tassie has also given us three tough as teak young footballers in the past three drafts. Coincidence or does Hughes trawl the Tassie waters a little deeper than most recruiters?

Anyone know how many Tassie kids were drafted this year?

 

[Salaryman]

Off the top of my head:

Marcus Davies
Jesse Crichton
Ryan Harwood
Jereomey Webberley

 

[HBF]

You could also throw Wiggins into that mix, although he was drafted back in 2001. There is a real toughness and spirit within our players from the Apple Isle, and you know that you'll get 110% from all of them.

 

[Jezza U Beauty]

I'm wondering if Wayne's strategy this year had a bit of "pick the best midfielder from WA and the best mid from Tassie", seeing as the best mids from Vic and SA were already gone by our picks.

I like the fact there's a bit of a taswegian slant to Hughesy's thinking - there's every chance a lot of the other recruiters get a bit sucked in to the vic/sa/wa focus, meaning there might be a steal or two to be had from the apple isle if you look carefully.

When does the Hawks sponsorship expire??? Surely we now have a bit more to offer the Tassie football loving public.

Have a feeling it was just renewed this offseason Kramer, after talk that the Tassie Government would put it out to tender.

In the end sadly the Tassie Government did what it does best and just took the easiest route

They breed em tough down here in Tassie ..Aaron joseph grew up playing on a gravel oval.

When the Blues came down and played the Hawks in a preseason game a while back ..the Blues supporters out numbered the Hawks supporters 2 to 1...it was enjoyable hearing the Hawks getting booed onto their home ground.

Many of the Tassie kids are brought up playing footy nude in waist deep snow with just a large block of ice for a ball and snowmen for posts. They take cold showers to warm up after the game before heading home to their frozen lakes where dinner is usually cold road-kill or a type of local delicacy, mud sorbet. And yes, they consider themselves looky.

And you find this unusal ??? Doesn't everyone grow up this way ?

Yep, four were drafted. I am happy we took Marcus Davies, but Ryan Harwood would have been a great pick up.

Jereomey Webberley is a w***er, he will be well suited to Richmond!

Especially the St Marys girls.

Although all of this stuff does make us highly intelligent with strong principles I would say having two heads is one of the main reasons for the boys success, it makes for a lot more talk on the field.

Knew I'd forgotten something.

This is the first time i have ever heard the Tasmanian gene pool being complemented :S

I warned you to keep away from those Pyke girls

They were girls???

FMD, it's getting hard to tell down there, their beards are just as good as the mens now.

Bit of a worry when you're your own first cousin.

the feeling of your skin peeling off when being dragged along the gravel is something to behold. the queenstown blokes show very little mercy......

Might have something to do with the club he played for Bee

Nothing but w***ers come from Clarence!

On the other hand Marcus Davies comes from the mighty North Hobart Football Club. You couldn't get better credentials!

The Tasmanian gene pool? You do of course realise that Melbourne was settled from Tasmania? A common gene pool there, I reckon!
