Best & Fairest at Tweets

As St kilda @stkildafc and Hawks fans geared up for their Best and Fairest nights, the twitters were out in force tweeting the news of the night.  Sadly the Hawks were outdone by the Saints.

@stkildaf tweeted their way through the night which was great for their fans, from on the red carpet pics, special presentations Harvey’s recognition of Max Hudgeston to vote count update and final pics.

As the band strikes up, this concludes our coverage tonight. Thanks to our friends @JELDWEN – we hope you’ve all enjoyed it! #AFL #gosaints

The hawks fans were left to lament what could have been.  Their only vote count was on facebook

codenamemax tried to post hashtags for tweet comments on facebook ” hashtags are #afl #hawks2010″ and was told  on facebook. “Michelle we aren’t on twitter so there’s no need for the hashtags.”

Sadly, codenamemax replied: “You might not be, but a lot of hawthorn supporters are!”   Thankfully they then realised and started to post voting updates on facebook for us.

Some of the Hawks Fans tweets.

njptower: RT @famdragon: Good luck Brad Sewell at the Hawks Best and Fairest tonight #sewelliscool & remember #HawkTV

spiffybee: I can’t get the Hawks B&F video up on my computer. Apparently there’ll be live updates on FB. Moments like these the Hawks need a twitter!codenamemax: @hawthornhawks coverage of the PCM tonight #absolutefail no tweets, facebook a dud and so is the live stream!! check out @stkildafc

spittybee: @codenamemax Hawks def need a Twitter account. Facebook is just not the place for live updates. There’s no tally updates there anyway.

codenamemax: Robbie Campbell announces retirement from Hawthorn at PCM best and fairest tonight. #afl #hawks2010 Good luck mate..you will be missed…

M3Lizza: Nooo!!! That sucks!!!! ——–> #hawksneednewruckmanstat RT @ian_nico: #hawks Robbie Campbell has retired

codenamemax: is anyone tweeting from the PCM? Would love to know what the vote is? #afl #hawks2010 #sewelliscool

codenamemax: No Dew, No Campell, No Brownie… I may have to jump on the Brad Sewell bandwagon?? #afl #hawks2010 #sewelliscool

@codenamemax: @spiffybee do you know what the tally is at the PCM B&F #hawks2010 #afl #sewelliscool

spittybee: @codenamemax Not watching it but last I saw at round 18, Mitchell was 34 votes clear of Cyril with Buddy in 3rd spot.codenamemax: Sam Mitchell wins Hawthorn Best and Fairest PCM #afl #hawks2010

spittybee: @codenamemax Haven’t seen what the Saints have been up to tonight but it wouldn’t surprise me. The Hawks are sadly technically challenged!

codenamemax: @spiffybee totally agree, have you seen how good st kilda is tonight?? awesome. Think i need to call them and offer my companies services!

M3Lizza: I hear u sister! #Hawks will u pls catch up? ~> RT @famdragon: #Hawks, we want an official twitter site.
