Hawthorn's Christmas List
Hawthorn's Christmas List:
Cheap travel to Tasmania, Thorp into the lineup for round one, and some weight for Thurgood.
The Hawks should build a formidable home-ground advantage in Tasmania and their fans based on the mainland will want to be part of that. If Hawthorn fans want to see a win in Tasmania then the games against the Power and Kangaroos are the ones to organize a holiday around. If they want to see more action and a closer result then the early season games against the Cats and the Eagles should provide plenty of excitement. Hawthorn fans will be hoping for some good package deals so they can take the boat over a couple of times every year.
There is no need for Hawthorn to take their time with Thorp and their fans will be hoping the coach has Thorp out there in round one. He has already played in the VFL so playing with Box Hill won't help him. He needs to be thrown into the action and the team can develop together as he joins other young players like Franklin, Kennedy, Birchall and Bailey.
Thurgood has returned to Hawthorn through the preseason draft but he still has that one problem to overcome, no it isn't his hair it is his weight. Like David Bourke at Richmond a few years ago, Thurgood is struggling to add the bulk that he needs for AFL. Thurgood has his fans at both Hawthorn and Box Hill and they will hope that he returns bigger and better.
The real Christmas gifts that Hawthorn get next season are all the extra young players that they acquired with picks they had traded for. Thompson, Hay and Everitt were not going to win them a premiership but they exchanged those three for a lot of early draft picks.
Maybe everything on the Christmas list does arrive for Hawthorn fans. There will be plenty of fans going to Tasmania in the coming seasons so the travel price should be reasonable. Thorp won't need to worry about getting transport for his fans to the Tasmanian games as they already live there, and they should be watching him in the seniors from round 1 and they will be able to see him in action live for all of the Hawks’ games there.
