Weather
The Bureau of Meteorology has predicted a maximum of 12 for the rest of the day, with only a 10 per cent chance of rain.
Winds, will hopefully ease up from 15 to 20 km/h, however if you've been in the stands before you know how chilly it can get when the sun's not on you so make sure you bring a jacket!
Getting there
Parking is always a Russian Roulette when attending something as big as the footy, so when the weather's not bad, why risk it?
A 15-minute walk from the city is nothing compared to the headache you may experience trying to find a park at the stadium or along Invermay Road.
Return of Birch
How poetic is it that Grant Birchall will be playing his first start since 2017 with the Hawks in Launceston?
The fan-favourite will certainly get the crowds cheering for the brown and gold.
