A Tassie team is a bad idea anyway. It doesn't have the population or the draws to be able to keep a good list together anyway.

They have lot more people who will care about Tassie AFL Team Compared to GWS and Gold Coast

Agreed... thats today. GWS/Gold coast are young and growing.

Only thing population wise Tasie is doing is a) ageing rapidly and b) migrating out of Tasie

Agreed though... footy state

The stadium discussion is about a 23,000 seat stadium - and they won't fill it very often. GC average 21,000 per home game and rising fast. A higher percentage in Hobart is into footy, but the overall numbers just won't be there. It's a town more than a city.

However, it's TV really that bankrolls the game. Attendance doesn't matter much. You could have a team anywhere - as long as you can get good players to live there - that's going to be the issue for Tassie.

So why did they get the Liscence in the 1st place then?

Correct me if Im wrong..... agree with the TV/revenue component.

But wouldn't the stadium itself need to be commercially viable, unless TV revenue cross subsidies its operation? Or AFL expects the Tasie Govt to subsidise operational costs (and profits).

I dont believe snoop dog will tour Hobart

Considering how animated you've been in this thread tonight, I can't help but wonder if you sticking your fingers in your ears and saying "that's just like totally your opinion man" in my response to you was simply borne out of your disapproval of the idea of a Tasmanian AFL team.

You provided a statement that you know how each upper house member will vote. I say, thats your opinion, as you dont know how each member will vote..

If thats animation, youwould get very excited at the hobart casino

My sides, what idea do you have about what I do or do not know?

The implemented rule change won’t impact wrestling rucks and if anything it’ll favour them further. They’ll now know where the drop zone will be at every centre bounce so they can engage earlier. At least with the centre bounce they had the doubt of the ball getting away from them in flight or if the ball favoured their side the leaping ruck could jump over the top.

Yep it will favour them.

You only need to look at Cox as an example. He was a good to very good centre square ruckman under the old rules, but very ordinary at around the ground ball ups and boundary throw ins where he was wrestled out the way.

It's not the throwing it up that will change things - it's no crossing the line - they won't be able to engage early to protect the ball drop and stop blokes jumping over them.

I refuse to answer that question on the gorunds that I may incriminate myself.

Their home attendance average would be boosted by playing against Collingwood.

I think you’re right there.For the Gold Coast to have an average home crowd of 21,000 they would have to have nearly a full house for almost every game,which clearly isn’t the case.They’d probably only have one full house a season,against us,which is what happens for virtually every interstate side we play against.

Yes, for sure. This shows the nine games they hosted at Carrara in 2025 (they also hosted two at Marrara): https://afltables.com/afl/teams/goldcoast/allgames_vn.html#32

Not even their game against Brisbane could top the crowd from when they played Collingwood. No wonder everyone wants to play us!
