I wonder if the Hawks are getting let off their footy department cap bill by the AFL here. Sure sounds that way. Also occupies Clarko so they can pretend he isn't just on holidays before the Gold Coast gig opens up. Makes the Tassie Government feel good about their team coming in whilst Hawthorn and North keep their existing deals running, everyone goes home happy.
The Stadium is an outrageous idea. Such a waste of money. The AFL love their inner city stadiums that are apparently tourism meccas and icons. But Hobart has a new and functional stadium a 10 minute drive from the Hobart CBD. Let's not presume Hobart is a city either, it's a country town. No one is going to Hobart in footy season expecting some incredible metropolitan experienced in the city. Go the footy, maybe find a pub for another beer or two afterwards then enjoy the fresh country air before exploring what Tassie has to offer the next morning.
US Sports have some great analytics, coaching and player wellness gear. Some of the technology is really amazing. Good on Clarko for getting to experience that. But there's no way he's waiting around for years to implement any of it in Tassie.
