The Tassie Mariners prepared for their final hit-out of the AFL Under 18 Division 2 Championships with a training session at Waverley Park.

The Tasmanian representative side enjoyed the facilities at the Tassie Hawks headquarters, utilising the indoor swimming pool for hydro therapy following their final training session ahead of Tuesday’s clash with NSW as Casey Fields at 10am.

The young Tasmanian’s then had lunch with members of Hawthorn’s senior squad, with Hawks Tasmanian defender Grant Birchall amongst those who were on hand to give some sound advice to the group of aspiring AFL footballers.

Tassie Mariners coach Andrew Mellor caught up with HawksTV reporter Clinton Bown to reflect on what was a great day at Waverley.
