Outstanding piece of sleuthing what a story it tells. FMD west coast have done well. But we need to acknowledge the work of our various leaders and teams who righted the ship after the merger days.

If Jeff tweets bullshit in the forest and there is no one around to hear him, can we leave him in the forest and hope he doesn’t know how to get out?

There's actually a lot there to say that Jeff, and the management more broadly, have been doing a pretty bloody good job.

Nobody here is arguing that the club is financially mismanaged through. We just think that a soon to be 73 year old who says ludicrously stupid and disrespectful things about a club we’re passionately supporting can kindly give up his position as the figurehead of the club.
More to the point - with the strong financial position being so clear in those figures, why is he such a genius for suggesting we relocate to a state he said in the same interview wasn’t viable for an AFL club to be located for a multitude of economic reasons.
No point making tons of profit if you're gonna pick up your bat and ball and head south.

To a state that has an entire population less than the two most populated Melbourne LGAs no less. Brilliant economic move!

Some credit to Clarence - one of the few state league sides whose team song isn’t just a copy of an AFL side’s team song.
If anything we should be discussing cultivating the outer east of melbourne. screw tassie. of only there was a ground out there we could repurpose. Soccer picked the site near Dandenong which I identified. Sandown would have been perfect
Incidentally one of the options being floated for launcseton York park is moveable stands for oval/oblong confiurations

Ah! AFLx!
Could the Tasmanian government look to buy the Saints games on the cheap and hedge their bets re a relocation?
Would he ironic given they followed us down there, left and we took their remaining games

Or that they didn't support Dickers plans to retain waverley, took the 'magic beans' from the AFLCould the Tasmanian government look to buy the Saints games on the cheap and hedge their bets re a relocation?

I think they wanted to press their advantage being a dry weather team at the dome (leaving Tassie)
THAT went well in two wet grand finals
Frankston "south"Could the Tasmanian government look to buy the Saints games on the cheap and hedge their bets re a relocation?

BTW anyone notice how close Dingley is to their heartland?
I don’t get the want to play games in regions:
Playing games in Dandenong won’t attract more fans, members and it’s unlikely going to bring us more sponsors.
We need to play as many games as we can in the city, servicing the whole of Melbourne (like Coll, Rich and Ess)
Agreed. But it would be more useful than Tassie

AFL's response to the Tassie Premier;
The AFL Commission had begun to consider the Taskforce report on a team based in Tasmania last year when that work with clubs was placed on hold, due to the impacts of Covid-19, which had a far greater impact on our season and overall health of our game than could have been expected or predicted.
The AFL competitions and community football face uncertainty and risk again in 2021 with restrictions on mass gatherings and cross broader travel, in-turn creating financial and investment uncertainty as well.
Understanding the importance of Tasmania to our code the AFL Commission believes the taskforces report warrants a detailed review by the AFL.
An independent consultant, to be appointed, will lead this review for a Tasmanian team with support from the AFL Strategy team to provide a detailed response.
This work will aim to be completed by late 2021 / early 2022 when the AFL hopes to have a clearer picture of its own financial position and that of the wider AFL community.
Equally, the AFL respects and understands the impact that this might have on the Tasmanian Governments ability to progress the arrangements with the Hawthorn and North Melbourne Football Clubs, and if that remains an issue, the AFL would propose to deal directly with the two clubs and the implications for them in 2022, as well as for Tasmanian football.
As always, the AFL is committed to providing elite content for football supporters in the state and are equally committed to continuing to increase investment in community football and to promoting participation in our football across Tasmania.
The AFL supports AFL matches played in the state and the need to find a solution that works for Tasmania, and for football.
AFL Chief Executive Gillon McLachlan spoke with both the Tasmanian Premier and Tasmanian taskforce chairman Brett Godfrey via phone today before formally writing back to the Premier.
