I couldn't agree with Madmug more, which is a first. Currently we have our best u18 kids playing in a Victorian based competition every week of the season. I see the merits in doing so but unfortunately the negatives of the past are also showing early. If the Devils go ahead, we will then see...

My opinion is the Devils won't happen. The VFL is just a proposal with a possible start date of 2021. So it's not totally confirmed yet. We don't have the players or the talent to have a full time VFL side, Mariners and a TSL. And i don't see how this helps grass roots football. Participation...

Couldn't agree more. The AFL are pushing for a National AFL reserves comp. ONly waiting on the WAFL clubs to come on board. So whats of the VFL comp then, even though the VFL have already stipulated they don't want us in it.

I"m pretty sure i never commented on the suspension??? Happy to be proven wrong, but i know i didn't. I also believe if you lift players in a tackle you put them and yourself in a dangerous position, as do a lot of other things we do in our game. My point is that i know Jordy, i also know what...

Do you know what the other two suspensions were for? Do you think the high mark (hanger) should be taken out of the game? I've seen plenty of players receive knees to the head and back that has caused serious damage as a result of a hanger. Based on your duty of care theory, maybe we should...

And why should Winter get life? I"m really looking forward to this explanation!

Lauderdale v Lindersfarne March 10 @11am (The Tip) Lauderdale v Clarence March 17 @10am (The Tip)

Played that day, was against Werribee. Funny enough Garlick killed us in the wet. Ben Setchell was playing for Werribee that day and was awesome. Armstrong said nothing after the game but have a shower as everyone was shaking it was that cold.

This is my opinion and Tutu given he played previously may agree. But the standard from TSL to regional is a big gap. I have noticed a push from an ex TSL coach to bring the Devils back. In my opinion this won't work, and we don't have the calibre of players that we had in the early 2000's that...

I think throwing Brett Geappen, Thurls, Blight, Setchell and players of that calibre back in full time certainly made them a lot stronger.

I agree I get sick and tired of seeing people comment on social media saying we need to go back regional football to get people back to footy like the good old days. Those days are gone!!! I do agree however maybe putting the mariners in full time again. Having the devils as stand alone tassie...

I couldn't agree more. I know that a member of AFL Tas staff was recently challenged on the fact there were whispers that players had been told to go to launceston or North Launceston but were of course denied, even though they had come from parents of two players. Frustrating is an...

The probably is, people involved in the league and working their butts off to keep their clubs going, and anytime they have concerns they are shot down and belted around the head if you go public with them. It's alleged people from AFL tas have told players from Devonport to go to Launceston or...

Tell me again what small crowds have to do with the demise of the TSL? I watched SFL and Old scholars this year and i'm pretty confident that the crowds were no different. At the end of the day, people dont go to the footy much anymore for a number of reasons. Thats just reality.

I heard a whisper that the state development manager at AFL Tas went way over his budget this year!
