Art Critics,
Just returned from a few days in Hobart taking in the Museum of Old and New Art [which, by the way, is an incredible mind-fooking knock-yr-socks off blown away experience, with tens of millions of bucks in bells and whistles. Absolutely extraordinary. Never seen anything like it. Something everyone should make an effort to have a gander at once in their lives.]
Over the weekend, it was clear Hobartians don't give a rat's about the Swans, let alone the rugby league, so nothing more to offer than you have already read in the fishwraps.
Scoreboxes posted for the record:
Tigers cruelled by a slow start, but gallant in defeat against clearly the best team in the comp, by all accounts.
