If they're not back up by the time Hawthorn's contract in Launceston is done, they'll be so dependant on the AFL for money they wont be able to resist the offer to have 7 home games in Tas....
Then 5-10 years later when the facilities at Arden St are starting to look even rattier and their cotenants there become more frustrating to deal with, they'll get an offer for a state of the art facility in Hobart that is entirely theirs and move their training based down there.
Gradually, another game or two will be moved to Tas and their Melbourne presence will be almost exclusively 'replacement games'.
Eventually the pretence will be dropped, the team will be renamed and Melbourne members just get 'away game' access to all games in Melbourne. They might still have one or two token 'home' games in Melbourne, but the crowds will be pretty much opposition fans anyway.
