Was really happy with the coverage of this game on Saturday. While the news was overshadowed with the shock of the passing of Shane Warne, which they did a special tribute and intro to as well as mentioning the Hillcrest aspect prior to the opener.
Throughout the afternoon they had the QR code for fundraising and had it mentioned several times, they had lots of Tasmanian and Devonport football history, lots of commentary from Tasmanians or those with Tasmanian connections and also had interviews with Gil and Peter Gutwein and really helped the push for a Tasmanian team… sometimes like an ambush at Gil. lol.
They also managed to include a lot of the Hillcrest stuff with students who were injured taking part in various things and other kids from the school on the field as the teams came out. It was a really good thing for Devonport and seems to have actually gone better for the town than I thought it would which was really good to see - plus the weather was pretty good too with rain avoiding out area and it being quite humid with them saying very regularly just how hot the weather was and that it was conditions more like Queensland - very rare for a Tasmanian sporting event to get those accolades!
