So all these clubs getting handouts, but Tassie can't have a team because it isn't viable 
Nah. It's because Tassie won't expand or grow the game by bringing in new fans or new revenue. Tassie's been a rusted on footy state for over a hundred years. The thing that a Tassie team would actually do is remove some revenue and fans from the existing clubs that already have a fan base and Govt support over there ( Hawforn, #lolnorf in particular) when the fans move sideways to supporting their own team.So all these clubs getting handouts, but Tassie can't have a team because it isn't viable
But if the NRL establishes a team there.
AFL is be falling over its self to get a team up and running.
Haaaarrrgh. Doubt even the no necks would be foolish enough to attempt setting up a team in Tassie. They tried both S.A. n W.A. some years back n failed miserably in both.
At least Aussie rules has had a team in both QLD. n N.S.W. for over a generation and is simply expanding on that base. It'll still take another generation or two to get a proper core in both states, but it should happen.
Thing with Tasmanian’s is that if you do a head count, every new member is worth x2.
Can't recall who was being interviewed on radio recently, but he said there are 90k tassie members of AFL clubs at the moment. No idea of the breakdown, but I'm tipping Hawthorn will lose plenty if they get a team.
Easy for me to say, but I reckon North shoulda taken the coin on offer and gone to the coast when they had the chance..... the AFL would've moved heaven and earth for them to have succeeded up there!
Agree. They would have won a couple of Grand Finals by now, though their 187 Melbourne based supporters would have been pissy at the move.
Absolutely agree
North are a complete waste of space and resources and energy and money and ......... in Vic and Melb
It’s in everyone’s interests - well OK apart from the handful of people who currently watch them at home games - and they will still get to see plenty of live away games in Vic if they were a Tassie team
We must just get rid of them somehow and forever - so why not this way
The only sensible way to get a Tassie team is relocation of a Vic team and North has to be the one
no way, we need a side in Tassie, 19 teams , 18 rounds, 9 home & 9 away , reverse the fixture the following year
Nuh - 19 is too many teams. Actually 18 is too many as well - but we need an even number.
Where would they be located?
There's enough in Melbourne (some will say too many). Can't see Adelaide or Perth supporting a third team. Maybe another on in Sydney, in say 30 years? LOL.
How about one in Tassie (they deserve a team being a true football state), maybe one in Darwin? Maybe one in FNQ? Maybe one in NZ, China, India? Outer Mongolia?
Just wish they would leave things alone, especially the bloody rules.
Splitting hairs here but with 19 teams, it would take 19 rounds to play each other once.
I'm assuming the tazwegian means 18 matches played by each team - and that you pointing out that 18 matches plus a bye would mean it's over 19 rounds.
Reality is we're gonna have a compromised fixture for a long long long time.
He is right. 19 rounds with 1 bye each week and 18 teams playing. Don’t play yourself.
