Well, slight change of subject, and could have ramifications on the review. Looks like the Tassie govt is putting club/game hosting arrangements on hold until they get a clear timeline on a licence in the AFL for a Tassie team.

Is there a link?
This attitude is immensely stupid by Tassie
EDIT found it
'Perfectly clear': Tasmania makes bold play to get its own AFL team
The state government is playing hardball with AFL boss Gillon McLachlan.7news.com.au
Why is it stupid?

Your right the AFL like to dominate the landscape but let's be honest, Tas have been waiting for what 20-25yrs for the AFL to actually include them in the national competition. I can understand why they have dug their heels in.AFL does not respond well to this kind of tactic.
They're trying to manage COVID impacted seasons and Tassie is running around threatening to throw their toys out of the pram.
Gillon has already said won't happen in next five years.
Far smarter to be as supportive as possible but hold him to that five year line.

I hope they enjoy the Aleague then. The AFL isnt ready for this.
I'm sure the AFL can suck it up, its supposed to be a professional organisation.Suspect this is political posturing for Tassie domestic audience.
But AFL are already stressed as trying to make another COVID impacted season happen.
Last thing they'd need is this petty disruptive crap.
I doubt, or at least hope, the AFL admin are above petty vindictivenessDigging themselves into another 25 without a team with this dumb crap.

Well done Tasmania. Expel the carpetbaggers.

Good on them. They deserve a team of their own not a club using them For profit margins and a club whoring themselves to whichever region will have themWell, slight change of subject, and could have ramifications on the review.

Well after throwing millions at the Hawks for nearly 2 decades if all they get is north Melbourne after every other region of Australia rejected them, I doubt they'll care. Probably just cut their losses and go ,since clearly 20 years of investment isn't enough to get taken seriously.Digging themselves into another 25 without a team with this dumb crap.

They'll put that money to the aleague instead since they'll actually get something out of it.

Eagles joined under the impression the VFL was dead (And it was financially) and a new national competition was being built.
It will obviously take time for the embedded Victorian power brokers to slowly be eroded and evolve into a true national competition.
Still not there yet. Too many struggling teams in Victoria holding that back.
As I've said several times, under the scenario put forward, the AFL would be forced to, anyone with a modicum of sense/general knowedge/whatever knows this. They'd be forced, dragged kicking and screaming if you will.

Tasmanian Premier provides AFL with ultimatum

Good to see the Tasmanian government drawing a line in the sand. The Tassie gravy train is coming to an end for financially struggling Vic clubs.
Something needs to give. Too many teams in Melbourne still.
Is there like a limited pool of five or six sentences/phrases that West and South Australian posters have to choose from on this stuff?
Could we not just appoint one of you to post on these threads?
It is the same repetitive whiny inaccurate posts on every thread year after year after year.
There's only one financially struggling Vic club anyway, and they don't even play in Tassie.
