Will do chief

Let me get this straight. The boss of the Tassie Hacks thinks the Melbourne Footy Club should play out of the Gold Coast? He just doesn't get it, does he? We are Melbourne, the establishment of footy, oldest footy club ever. And we're the Melbourne Football Club. You'd think that was pretty plain and simple to sink in. Does funny things to you, spending too much time down in the land of apples and the extinction capital of Oz (they've extincted the Tassie Tiger, Lake Pedder, their Aborigines and it won't be long before the Tassie Hawkers are heading the same way). Good riddance Jeff!

Don't Forget the Tassie Tiger-They have just been put on the endangered list

we're gonna get thumped by tassie this week

You know Robin Williams said that God gave men two brains and only blood enough to power one. In Tassie, the home of the W-neck jumper they've got one extra organ to take care of. It shows in the president of tas hawks' thinking. Poor form Jeff...oh and by the way, someone urinated and defacacted on your blazer... oh hell, my bad, you CHOOSE to wear that?!? Yeah... umm we'll take your opinions on board.

PS: Way to go Gardner with a fine display of balls in defence of the club. Do I agree with him? No. Will I stick with him while he remains president of this club? Hell yes. I love this club.

doesnt he realise that hawthorn is a suburb of melbourne.. thats like a kid brother ...i used to hold my kid brother down and spit in his mouth lol

Don't start bashing us Tasmanians. Remember Jeff said that crap -A Victorian.

Yeah I am a Tassie bloke but I despise, hate and detest the HAWKS and ALWAYS WILL.

Nobody's bashing Tasmanians. We love them - especially Brad Green and Robbo. We're bashing the Tasmanian Hawks.

My theory is that Jeff is jealously trying to protect his club's own territory. They've set up camp at Waverley and Melbourne is eyeing the Casey area which is a bit further down the freeway. The City of Casey and the Shire of Cardinia are two of the country's biggest growth areas and will soon become the Waverley of the '70's and '80's with young families and the promise of a great area from which to draw support. With us at Casey, it restricts his club's prospects of tapping that market to the south and east of Melbourne.

Jeff Kennett is a [censored]!

What`s the frequency Kennett?

Don't turn this into Tasmania bashing. It's a beautiful state & they don't deserve the dorks down there, who are just using them for the money. If the dorks were serious about their love for Tasmania, then they should bite the bullett & make a permanent move - after all, there isn't enough room in Victoria for 10 teams!!

When the Tassie gov't pulls the sponsorship in a few years, then we will see how committed they are to the Tasmanians.

and this ladies and gentlemen was a man voted out of parliament!!

he does not care about anyone other than himself and the people that agree with him

i would go so far to say that he was disloyal and lost many victorians their jobs

i do not want to get into a political argument, but this guy has a vision and he may do a good job for himself, but he could not give a [censored] about anyone else.

him and his tassie hawks can go injure themselves.

I Love it . I notice it's catching on in EVERY thread. Tassie Hawks it is - not just this week - FOREVER!!!

Sold their soul to play games in Tassie. They even have a Tassie logo on their jumpers.

Good old Whorethorn.

Pathetic.

we're gonna get thumped by tassie this week

touche'

Don't Forget the Tassie Tiger-They have just been put on the endangered list

The tiger is extinct, its the Tassie Devil that's on the endangered list.

Kennet always was a smart arse with a smart mouth. Nothing has changed.

DO NOT STRESS ABOUT ANYTHING KENNET SAYS.

Kennett claims to be a campaigner for the fight against depression, instead the bouffanted buffoon is trying to spread it like a contagious disease.

Kennett has great form. As Premier he 'sold' the State that he presided over and, not content with that, he's now badmouthing the team that started our great game. Shame you low-life, shame!

I hope we can stand up and give the TASSIE HAWKS a thrashing...and SHOVE IT UP EM !!!!! ( I hope I'm not just dreaming here!!)

Yeah you're dreaming. As Mrs HBT says, trouble with Dean Bailey is he's into all this thinking stuff but the man lacks passion. That's a woman's view (so don't argue with it!) She believes this side only wins when they get real passionate (like when Woname.. you know who I mean, kicks some inspirational goals and declares he's not about to lose).

is it possible to alter the swear filter to replace "Hawthorn" with "Tasmanian" ?
