Well, the Kennett influence would clearly seem to be at work with this one.

Would be an awesome deal for Hawthorn, allowing them to keep a strong presence in the Apple Isle where they have a good playing record (excepting clashes with Adelaide sides) and ensuring upkeep of a very sound country membership quotient from that state.
On top of this, they look set to maintain 10-12 (most likely 11) games at the MCG during a season; with projected large profits that are practically guaranteed (before expected improvements in on-field performances).
Coming hot on the heels of the opening of the lairy new state-of-the-art training & admin complex at Waverley and the multi-million dollar sale of the club's Linda Crescent social club, its certainly nothing but good news for the club off-the-field.
Now we just need to start ramping things up on the paddock.
P.S: No need to panic or fret, Craig, as the deal doesn't involve Richmond having to play there
