It's on late here as well. Eddie is such a w***er. I support a Tassie team, but...
Caro was confident Gil would get it done. She needs to change the narrative. Onsted of talking about the failure of GSW & GC, talk about the success of WC and Adelaide.
The irony is not lost on me that in an episode where they spoke about the mysogynistic behaviour of Jordan De Goey, Ed is there speaking over the only woman on the panel every time she speaks. Fat Ed is just a disgusting person and shouldn't really get a voice at all given his past indiscretions.
Exactly.
He said last night that every expansion except Port and Crowd was stuffed up. Freo? WC?
At least that way you are somewhat comparing apples to apples, because Tassie, like those two examples, would be establishing a side in an existing AFL area.
He's just trying to justify his point by making things up.
Neither has GC or WC increased the player pool (yet). No increase in the number of players from GC or Western Sydney since 2010. Tassie has a good chance to increase their draft numbers. Been neglected for so long.
Sounds good. There's potential to make Tassie a competitive side from year one, and that should be the aim. They don't have to make finals in year one, but no one wants to see them getting smashed by 100+ points every week when they're starting out.
West Coast was in deep financial s**t in their 3rd year and had to be bailed out. Freo hit some rocks after about 6 years. On field the club underachieved until about 2006. Maybe that's what he's on about, except you could put virtually every club in that category at some stage over the last few decades.
Clarko as coach and Brendan gale as ceo would be a good sell to future recruits
Gale as CEO is a fantastic suggestion. He's looking unlikely to be considered for the AFL position. I think mainly because the executive are a little scared that he will challenge things a bit more and upset the status quo.
Surely Kennett's vote needs to reflect the views of his entire club, not just his own?
Yeah it’a even different to port really they got the majority of there support from there sanfl clubs roots there growth was always going to be limited when you consider the majority of the rest of sa follow the crows
His doing a bit of damage control I think trying to hold onto the fifo dollars for a bit longer
And it will be financially and economically viable and sustainable, or else the AFL wouldn't even be seriously considering it. The only decent argument is that there are too many teams, but again, 15 of the 18 clubs this season have been competitive, and two last week (West Coast and Essendon) showed that they could play better than they have been. North is genuinely s**t, but it's a shame because they were competitive during the second half of last year. I'm convinced they can produce better footy than they have been.
Agree on your first point, but WA is a very different scenario than Tassie. Perth has 10 times the population of Hobart for one, and WA's GSP is nearly 10 times that of Tassie.
