Where are they going to build it then?Neither will ever have their own team, never.
Build what?Where are they going to build it then?
So it's Hobart's team then. You said neither Hobart or Launceston will ever have a team. Which is it? Neiter or Hobart?Build what?
I'm not sure what you're on about, but it appears the team will be based in Hobart & play home games in Hobart & Launceston.

I don't know why this is so difficult to comprehend. The team will play games in both Hobart and Lanceston and will be called Tasmania — therefore it will represent the whole state.So it's Hobart's team then.

I'd rather share anyway. There's a lot of patriotism that comes with being Tasmanian.Neither will have a team of their own. That much is certain.

Southern Dragons has a nice ring to it.I'd like to see them come up with something new & unique that hasn't been used before.
Devils is the obvious one but why be as expected ??
I'm not an expert on all things Tassie but surely there is something that the island state is known for but hasn't been used as a monkier for a sports team yet ??
There is a lizard in Tassie (it is elsewhere too) called a 'Rankinia' but it is best known as a 'Mountain Dragon' which may be something to use ??
Don't forget, they have a quoll and a large freshwater crayfish as well.
This has to be the front runner and short priced favourite. You wouldn’t leave something so Tassie on the table just to be cute, surely?This is the only serious option and I’d say the vast majority of Tasmanians agree on this. The branding here is very strong and one that all Tasmanians can really get behind.
With the greatest respect, it seems that a lot of the people who are against using the Devils name are mainlanders who won’t be supporting the club anyway. None of the alternative names suggested so far have a better connection to the state than the Devils and I’m sure this is why the AFL have already trademarked the name.

Titans crossed my mind as well. But then had me thinking that the HQ could look like thisTasmanian Titans
Tasmanian Islanders
True. All the same Mainlanders who hate the name Jackjumpers but don't understand it.This is the only serious option and I’d say the vast majority of Tasmanians agree on this. The branding here is very strong and one that all Tasmanians can really get behind.

Rubbish, why not stick with the obvious choice? Otherwise Rangers, Convicts, Granny Smith's, Massacres (just kidding)Tasmania Wolves is my preference, avoids some serious cliches with Devils

(we don't joke about that here).Massacres (just kidding)
Why is this brought up all the time by Tasmanians?True. All the same Mainlanders who hate the name Jackjumpers but don't understand it.

I have been looking at threads off and on, this is said with regularity, yet I notice Tasmanians can't agree on most things.
"If you aren't from Tasmania, you wouldn't know how cold it is"
Then: "I am from Tassie, it's cold and wet"
Then: "but if you don't live here now you wouldn't know"
It's hilarious, that's just 1 example, there are many, it's like you think mainlanders have never been there.
Anyway, it seems Devils is the choice of Tasmanians.
And before you all jump down my throat, I have been to Tassie, it's a beautiful place, I recommend it, if they get a team in the AFL, I recommend to all, get over there at least once if you can, watch your side, then go have a look around, just don't go telling them it's cold.
But I don't hear people from Darwin telling me, "what would you know, you don't live here"Its a bit like going to Darwin & complaining about the heat/humidity. Or going to Melbourne/Sydney & moaning about the traffic. All silly & pointless.
Just rug up & enjoy the difference.
Indeed, wherever you go, enjoy the differences & the sights.
Tasmanians are just stoic defenders of their realm, you wouldn't understand the feeling though. You're not from here.But I don't hear people from Darwin telling me, "what would you know, you don't live here"
And then argue with someone who does live there, hilarious.
Is this why they used to leave Tasmania off the map of Australia?Tasmanians are just stoic defenders of their realm, you wouldn't understand the feeling though. You're not from here.
