Hawthorn still want to play their four games in Tasmania when the AFL season starts back up again. 

Hawthorn Football Club President Jeff Kennett told 6PR they have appealed to the AFL and the Government to allow them to continue their agreement with Tasmania. 

"We've asked to play those four (games) down there because we have a very large membership in Tasmania, close to 10,000 and we respect them.
"So we've made an application to the AFL, we've also told the Tasmanian Government that we're pushing hard to meet our obligation," Mr Kennett told 6PR.
