    I think it's cool - I have many reasons I want to see Tassie (almost every really interesting history I read of Australia winds up having its best bits there; do some wildlife peeping; bushwalking, etc), but as a horrible procrastinator (I'll tell you about that some other time) it usually takes one over-the-top kick to get me to up and plan a trip. This could be the kick!

    It's a fantastic place, beautiful scenery, history, food, wine and animals. The people are friendly (unless your a knob). It's pricey at times, but that's the price of having most things imported from the mainland.

    Well that fare to London is available, but its sitting in the cargo hold so BYO fold up chair, stable table, food, drinks & doona.
    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

    Excited about Tassie game as an ex-pat Tasmanian but disapointed it wasn't the originally rumoured trip to Southern Tasmania to play North Melbourne.

    Will be our 2nd game at York Park, we lost a "thriller" there in the NAB Cup one year (the game that Roosy was joking about wanting lose...)

    Once it is confirmed, I'll be booking flights to Lonnie - my second home, straight away. I went to that disastrous (Eski did his knee) and controversial (don't kick a goal) pre season game in 08. Forget the 8000, it was a full house and Swan fans outnumbered Hawks by a healthy margin. Bring it on!
    Satchmo, I wonder if the Hobart Swan fans will remember to discard their scuba tanks this time?

    Always an impressive head count at the games played in Tassie.

    I think the MCG may have been a better option considering they have played there lots and we have never played there.
