and once again, you hide your inability to form a coherent counter argument with personal attacks.
Kinda sad really.
Coherent argument huh.
Ok Tassie Devils were started by AFL Tas. They destroyed the first state league for this reason. When they started their crowds were the best in the VFL at that time, including 11k+ at a semi final. Then AFL Tas (ie the AFL office in Tasmania) decided, without asking paid up members (like me & our group of footy heads), & against some strong advice from Port Melbourne which was printed in our local newspaper, amalgamated with North Melbourne. Clearly the AFLs first effort to counter Hawthorn & get some NM influence here. It caused a breakdown with the community. Let alone appointing a coach with serious gambling & other behavioural issues over his head ( since resolved & thankfully him & his family now doing well I hear).
The AFL powers FKT this thing up. NO ONE ELSE!!! Good crowds & sponsors made it a good going concern, until AFL politics FKT it up.
The public here arent stupid. They could see & smell the AFL rat all over this one.
Maybe you can give us the long list of VFA & VFL clubs who have have rolled over since the AFL started & dominated football?? A lot more than 1 club I'll wager.
This is all been said before, as you well know. But you write your own lies to suit your personal narrative. So your comment is rather pointless re the Tassie Devils & shows you disregard of the facts of the matter.
So your 'coherent' answer is??
