First Game.

[Truetiger]

Would be interesting to see whom Tasmania would play first up. Both AFL and the VFL. As I am sure both games would sell. Wouldn’t want something like Tasmania vs Hawthorn. Big Victorian club maybe? Thoughts

 

[T2B_]

Okay biased, but my Blues tend to get pretty good Tassie representation so it would be a good crowd.

 

[Tassie_Tiger]

This is a controversial one but I’d love us for the first game to be against gws or Gold Coast as we’ll pack out the stadium for the first game anyway and would be great to see the amount of pure Tasmanians supporting our team.

 

[Jazny]

St Kilda would be good, a club with historic Tasmanian roots.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Would make sense to be Hawthorn.

Would make sense to be Hawthorn.

I guess it would be a good way to drum up an early rivalry.

If you want a sell out it would be Collingwood or Essendon.

Both those teams have big representation when in Adelaide so I can only assume they'd travel to Hobart.

Surely the first ever game should be a sell out regardless of opponent. I'd choose one of the smaller Victorian clubs, say a St Kilda or Western Bulldogs.

Probably im sure trying to make it a certainty.

I guess North would be fitting.

You are Correct their first game will sell out. Send freo long trip Perth to Tassie.

 

[HawthornGlory]

If its not Hawthorn.

Love the idea of a Devils/Demons first game, but I think that fixture would be better suited smack back in the middle Dark Mofo in June. The city having that dark, eerie feeling would tie in so well.

First game should be against Richmond or St. Kilda.

 

[Turbochook]

Would make sense to be Hawthorn.

Would think we will play against each other at least four times a year in Lonnie, 2 home game for you and another 2 for us!

Just figured Melbourne should be no good by then

 

[Daemon]

Don't want to play a big Vic club, rather someone else like Brisbane or Freo. Purely selfish reasons that less likely to have intrastate fans travel and more tickets for locals. It will be a sell out no matter who we play.

 

[fargothegreat]

I wonder if the first game will be in Hobart or Launceston?

If we have to build a bloody stadium for this team then they better be playing it at that stadium

 

[TheKanga]

Maybe Devils vs Tigers at Blundstone
Tigers draw well down here.
Got about 18k there vs North back in 2016

Then the following home game at York Park vs Hawks

Stadium won't be ready until year 2.

 

[Mr Taswegian]

They will be playing in the two current grounds for the first two seasons.

They got around that both times they played in Hobart and they also have Launceston's record crowd.

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

Devils Vs Dockers
Devils Vs Suns
Devils Vs Giants

Those would be my top three priorities for the first game in Tassie

 

[Brezsa]

The guarantee will be it will be round 2 (the afl will force them to have the bye in round 1) and it will be against a big Vic team at home to the choice of Tassie. So Carl/Coll/ESS/Rich or maybe Hawthorn because they spent so long down there

 

[Truetiger]

Devils Vs Dockers
Devils Vs Suns
Devils Vs Giants

Those would be my top three priorities for the first game in Tassie

Would be funny to have it against the Suns. Purely for the reason of Cochrane and all the negativity he has had on Tassie early on.

I hope our first win is against the Suns
