Lol, because that worked out so well for the afl last time.
If it is actually the intent of the AFL to transplant the Awks for Norf in Tas, then it won't go well for anyone.

That one didn't age well, even if it's only six months.A post Clarko succession plan would be rather easy to implement just like the pies!
Old bucks may even be available with in the next year or so as well
If North had moved to the Gold Coast back in 2009, I dare say we would already have a AFL team based in Tasmania. We know the AFL had western Sydney in their sights for expansion back around the time they offered North the opportunity to relocate to the Gold Coast and I don't think it would have taken long for the league to realise the introduction of an 18th team would increase their TV rights deal.Lol, because that worked out so well for the afl last time.
Lol, if they failed to get North back in 2007 under the circumstances, what hope would they have now or in the near future. North's been around for 100+ years, if Essendon and the AFL didn't kill North, nothing will.If North had moved to the Gold Coast back in 2009, I dare say we would already have a AFL team based in Tasmania.

The AFL didn't get the outcome they wanted back then. We know that. But you'd be foolish to think they won't try again under a new administration.

Because they took funding away last time. That has and never will be an option.So North is safe from the AFL because the AFL will keep bailing them out?
Tell me you see the flaw in that logic.
We'll see what happens in a few years when Hawthorn's Launceston contract expires. The Tassie government haven't made a secret of the fact that they want one team in both cities.Lol, if they failed to get North back in 2007 under the circumstances, what hope would they have now or in the near future.

AFL also wanted hawks to wrap it up last time too. This contract imo will be the last one
It's got nothing to do with the AFL. That's up to Hawthorn and the Tasmanian government if they wish the agreement between them to continue. It's no different to Richmond's sponsorship with Jeep. At least the Hawks were able to give Tasmania some AFL football, that's more than the AFL have done.
I wouldn't be laughing if my club had attempted to double the amount of home games they play outside of their home state in a period of less than five years.LOL
You mainboard nuffies make me laugh
I explained what I think is going to happen on page 1.Like what do you think is going to happen? The AFL is just going to shut down the club and move it to Tassie?
FACT: The AFL tried to move your club 10 years ago.Matchu you keep banging on about the AFL this and the AFL that but with no real substance? Your opinion matters for little until you start speaking with some fact and some conviction
You just sound like a muppet with the continual carry on mate
They won't ever get two teams, I highly doubt they'd ever get one.We'll see what happens in a few years when Hawthorn's Launceston contract expires. The Tassie government haven't made a secret of the fact that they want one team in both cities.

Yea, sending North to the GC wasn't an attempt at all to destroy the club. They took a shot and they failed miserably.The AFL pay North millions extra a year in discretionary funding. If they're trying to kill them they're hiding it pretty bloody well.

Because cutting fund is a realistic option, past, present or future. Trying to ship a club off is the next best thing they could realistically do in their power and they really tried hard. It’s not a narrative if it’s a simple fact. Cutting funding to a club would set a bloody big precedent for other clubs and it exists, as a notion, in the realms of pure fantasy.They made an offer and it was rejected. If they wanted North out after that they would have reduced financial distributions in line with many other clubs and the club would have lasted about 3 years before insolvency. Instead they remained high on the list of clubs that received additional millions. That is by far the main reason why the club still exists.
The victim narrative simply doesn't apply here.

Sure they go up and down, but enough to slowly destroy a club or to 'put them back into line'? Even you don't believe that garbage. I've only seen this threat of reducing payments from BF posters, now I wonder why that is...Rubbish. Distributions go up and down to clubs all the time. They're entirely discretionary on the AFL's will. If they really held a grudge North would be gone.
If the AFL gave North the base it would simply put them in line with lots of other clubs. But about $4 million worse off than now.

The fact remains, they tried their hardest to shift North, which would have effectively killed the club and its identity. Pretty simple.
If you don't agree, that's fine, so let's just agree to disagree and move on.
