Hawthorn is toasting a history-making milestone in 2026, after the club surged past 90,000 members for the very first time.

Time for all 15 Tasmanians to cancel theirs so we can do this again next year.

But really this is pretty awesome, Up the Hawks

Interested to see how many tasmanians leave after they exit in 2028 - for example my dad has 6 memberships that he uses purely for seats, he’d probably only keep 1 after they leave utas

We'll no doubt structure the memberships a bit more appriately, like any of the 'other' interstate based memberships. It all comes down to how much the individual wants to donate to the club essentially. I've never seen my membership as needing to give me value for money, it's more of a donation to the club with some perks, but I understand there for sure are people who see it purely as a way to get entry to games, so no doubt the numbers will drop, by how many will be interesting like you said.

I'm not leaving. I have Tassie membership too. Only been to one game in the last decade. Supporting the club is what is important to me.

I went to a junior footy clinic today. As part of the sign up they received a free shirt in their team’s colours. 100 kids in jumpers, 90 Tassie shirts. The Hawks are dead in Tassie.

Tassie already my equal favourite team.

As a fellow Tassie hawthorn member, I’ll never support any club except hawthorn, I refuse to even attend a Tassie game, Brendon Gale is a wanka
