Tasmanian stadium is a total circus.

Build a stadium for generations to come along with its associated legacy or please nimbys in the short term?

Sounds familiar doesn't it

 

[Section 5]

The rule change that Malcolm Blight has urged the AFL to make

“Just get rid of the confusion.”

Happy with a last touch rule coming in.
Reducing four umpires to three. We will still have issues but maybe having less decision makers will work better.
......................................................

I would add 5 on the bench. All the coaches agreed to this when the AFL asked them in 2023.
But the AFL did not get the answer they were after so ignored the consensus.

Also, no more bounce the ball at CBA's.
Should have gone years ago when the umpires put their case to the AFL.
Opens the role up for better decision-making umpires that can't bounce the ball to save themselves.
Even the ones that make it to AFL/VFL level struggle big time to get this right.
Also, more people especially woman will decide to give it a go from juniors to senior level.

In short:​

The Hobart football stadium proposal could turn on the outcome of the election for the northwest Tasmanian upper house seat of Montgomery on Saturday, May 24.

The Liberal government needs more upper house votes to pass special stadium legislation, but three of the five candidates are vocally opposed to the project.

What's next?​

A Tasmanian election analyst says if "anyone other than the Liberals" is elected on the day, it could spell trouble for the government's plans.

Clock ticking on decision for Hobart stadium future

To build, or not to build Hobart's stadium at Macquarie Point — that question is no doubt weighing heavily on the minds of candidates in the Tasmanian upper house elections, with a vote by those who are successful set to determine the fate of the project.

The Greens "we don't need a billion dollar stadium, we need affordable housing".....

For who????? No one wants to live in Tasmania.

You wanna know why? Because you don't have your own AFL team, that's why!!!!!!!!!!

Every town needs a pub, church, post office & boutique football stadium with a roof, everything after that is secondary....

Edit: On a serious point though, you'd wanna get a wriggle on if you're gonna play in 2028. I'd hate to be involved in the lobbying for this, it would just be a total cluster f, and so frustrating.
