Gold Coast and GWS are all about participation and TV rights. Tasmania having a team won't do anything to increase participation, and it won't do anything to TV rights unless there is a 20th team/10th game added as well.Excellent post and i don't necessarily disagree Tas can support a team financially.
How is GC going? What about the orange *heads totally funded by the AFL?
I can agree that Tas might struggle to survive without support.
The fact these other two (basically completely funded by AFL to "grow the game") teams exist is infuriating to Tasmanian people, as those two clubs cannot either yet bizarrely have an AFL team.
