Time to put Tasmania on the map

story-share –> DOES Hawthorn’s deal with Tasmania put the state’s AFL prospects in jeopardy or keep the dream alive? To me it’s a win for the Hawks and for Tassie as Hawthorn have secured their future and Tasmanians have a link to the game at the highest level. It was only a decade or so ago a merger was mooted between Hawthorn and Melbourne. Now the Hawks have taken over Tasmania and through their facility at Waverley Park have claimed the eastern belt of Melbourne as well. Tasmanians should be looking to capitalise on the popularity the Hawks have brought the game nd invest in their future. If it had been my call I would have put a Tasmanian team in the competition instead of Port Adelaide in 1997.

When Tasmanian racing thrust out its chest on the mainland it was through the deeds of its iron-tough jumpers horses such as Monsist Tenga Hari Red Cavalier and Inchgower.
