Do you really think the AFL want an AFL team in Tasmania...They would have to shell money out to it to keep it going...I doubt the AFL will ever sponsor a team, because the market will probably never be there...
It is just unrealistic that Hawthorn would or any other AFL team would move there...However being able to dip into the market like playing a few games there every year (4 games to be exact), pre season game does not count, makes good business sense...
We could end up playing more games there in the future, that is possible, but that is a small price to pay to secure not only our existence but also a profitable existence...
At the end of the day Hawthorn and the AFL will do what makes the most money...and that could be only playing no more than 4 games, maybe 1 more or 1 maybe less...
When you consider the sucess you would think we are going to have over the next decade, I think Hawthorn will want to play as many home games in Melbourne as they can so I don't think they would be looking at any more Tassie games....
