After finals, Sir Doug Nicholls Round has to be up there as one of our favourite times of the year. We're on the road again this week, this time down to Launceston to take on the Hawks.

Who: Hawthorn Hawks v Brisbane Lions
Where: UTAS Stadium, TAS
When: Sunday 22 May, 3:20pm
Gates Open: 2:00pm (local time)

Be in your seats by 2.30pm to enjoy the pre-game entertainment, including local hip hop artist and proud pakana woman DENNI, followed by Tasmanian Aboriginal singer songwriter Dewayne Everette Smith. Following this, a Welcome to Country ceremony will be performed on field. 

General Public Tickets: Available HERE

PLAN YOUR TRIP

For those driving in, a new Roundhouse Car Park at Inveresk has 850 spaces and can be accessed from Forster Street. This is very short easy walk to Gate 10 and a great alternative due to limited car parking on the Old Cycle Track and southern Inveresk Car Park.

Watch: Live on Seven, Fox Footy, and stream on Kayo.

We last met in Round 20, 2021, where a fourth quarter come back wasn't enough for us to overcome the Hawks in Tassie. The margin got out to as much as 50-pts in the third quarter, but the boys came back hard to go down by 12. Dan McStay kicked four goals, and JL shined with a near career-high 38 disposals.

We'll be looking to start the game quick this weekend to avoid any further blowouts at UTAS.
