[Mr north man]

Come back to me when your daughter asks you to buy her a Collingwood jumper with Mo Hope's number on the back.

That would be a collectors item now her jumper after her steller 1st season in the WAFL where she took the competition by storm I hear she's changing her name by de pol to No Hoper

It will be an outrage if St Kilda get a team ahead of us. The half time presentations by the CEOs, Dilena gave a good overview of our compelling case to grow the talent pool for the whole competition. St Kilda CEO comes on and just says how they'd like to give girls in the bayside area a game and then hands over to a couple of girls to say they want to play for St Kilda. Pitiful! Neither club may get a team but if St Kilda get one ahead of us it is a disgrace.

Historical occasion tonight. Shame about the loss girls.

Not sure how to post a link. But an article in the courier mail saying the lions aflw side are looking to play a home game in Tassie next year.
I wonder if this would impact the North bid?

Apart from anything it's downright weird.

1 team in the state who happens to be a grand finalist, AFLW supposedly taking over the world and you're having to sell a game to a location 4000 kms away to make ends meet.

Maybe Queensland wasn't the land of milk and honey afterall eh?

 

[Kimbo]

Maybe Queensland wasn't the land of milk and honey after all eh?

Indeed. The exodus seems to be from, not to, Queensland.

All the Victorian, West and South Aussies yelling "Let our players go!"

Good to see they give our bid a tick - and Essendon a cross.

The woman on the right shat me though. Boiled it down to our only selling point being the Tassie connection.

How about emphasising the bit about our early adopter status and not having a history of running injection programs?

You mean, like she specifically did earlier in the video? She outlined the relationship with Melbourne University well enough. What more could she do?

Do you get a badge for being contrary?

I realise she made a reference to that at the start but her constant emphasis after that was on the Tasmania aspect as pretty much of our only angle. She didn't wind it up saying "they deserve a shot, being the first club to establish a connection to a women's football team".

Well Mike Sheehan daughter is now involved with Shitmond she tried to put us down as shitmond is now bidding for a AWFL Licence at least the other said some nice things about North

What did she say?

 

[Mr north man]

What did she say?

Talking about how the Lions have offered a home game to Tasmania for $100k plus Hawthorn trying to play games might go against us

I find knee jerk criticism of journalism because... journalism is intellectually lazy. Anna Harrington supports our bid so that should be lauded. You want to dismiss that support because why? Because you reject her analysis that the Tasmanian connection is the strongest part of our claim? We already played the Melbourne University card last time around and it wasn't good enough then, so why would we double down on the same losing hand? I'd say Anna Harrington has a pretty good handle on things when she says Melb Uni is a good secondary argument, but Tasmania is our trump card.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

From the last interview I heard someone from the club give about the bid, the emphasis was similar - longstanding commitment and all but the focus was on the Tasmanian connection. It made me a little uncomfortable but I get the point that we needed to add a strong argument to the case that didn't get over the line last time - and if North gets the license that's all I really care about.

That's where I was going with it H2H.

I'd hardly say Anna Harrington (wasn't aware of her name, sounds familiar..) was cheerleading our bid but my annoyance was that our bid had to be hitched to the 2ndary location to grow legs.

Which you've thankfully expressed in a more pharro-compliant manner.

North Melbourne may enter AFLW team as the Tasmanian Kangaroos

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-ne...-the-tasmanian-kangaroos-20170726-gxjdwq.html

A North Melbourne women's team could be launched into the national competition as the Tasmanian Kangaroos come 2019 should the club succeed in its bid to win an AFL Women's licence.

In a highly significant development for the battle over the game in Tasmania it has emerged that the AFL and its state body are pushing the Kangaroos to more strongly identify with the struggling heartland state and that North is open to the name change depending on the funding model.
But Hawthorn has thrown a curve ball into the women's licence bidding by including a strong Tasmanian component in its presentation to be put to the AFL on Thursday. This is understood to have raised some eyebrows at head office and foreshadowed the looming battle between the two clubs over home games in the most southern state.

North Melbourne chief executive Carl Dilena, whose club will also present to the AFL on Thursday, confirmed talks regarding the Tasmanian Kangaroos, adding that North's bid involved not just an even split of games in Hobart and Launceston but a commitment to the development of women's talent across the state.

Of the name change for a women's team, Dilena said: "That's come up in discussions but nothing has been formalised or agreed to yet. We are looking at a suite of ideas as to how we can make an impact in Tasmania.

"If we are successful in winning a licence there are a number of options and a lot will depend on the partnership going forward and the joint venture approach." North would play half its women's home games in Tasmania and the other half at Arden Street.

The Hawthorn bid, which includes a plan to play some women's games at the Hawks' second home ground in Launceston, comes at a highly sensitive time for the future of the game in Tasmania with the AFL working behind the scenes to endorse the Kangaroos as the league's only Tasmanian club.

Both clubs have received a letter of endorsement from Tasmanian Premier Will Hodgman, but only North's bid has been presented as a potential joint venture with AFL Tasmania. The AFL, whose chief Gillon McLachlan has stressed his preference for a one-team model, underlined that preference when it handed the Kangaroos the entire state last year as part of its multicultural development academy.

Hawthorn, which did not bid for a women's licence the first time around, is aware and highly concerned regarding the AFL's intentions regarding North and Tasmania. But the Hawks still have four years to run on their highly lucrative four-game-a-year agreement with the Tasmanian state government and Launceston's University of Tasmania Stadium.

North's three-game-a-year deal with Hobart's Blundstone Arena also runs until 2021, but the onus has been placed on that club to push its presence across the state in working to develop the talent pool, which has dried up to devastating proportions in recent years.

This is despite millions of dollars of sponsorship money poured into Hawthorn by the state government since the Hawks first played in Tasmania in 2001. The most recent five-year deal is worth $20 million.

Even the most optimistic forecasts have just three and potentially only one Tasmanian draftee in the 2017 draft.

Andrew Dillon, who has replaced Simon Lethlean at the football helm of the AFL, joined a committee including commissioner Jason Ball, follow executives Travis Auld, Sarah Fair and Tanya Hosch along with AFL Women's boss Josh Vanderloo to hear the eight club presentations this week.

Six of those will come from Victorian clubs – also including Essendon, Geelong, Richmond and St Kilda – along with Gold Coast and West Coast.

Dillon on Tuesday said the commission would grant the new licences at the end of next month to join the eight existing teams in 2019. He said the competition was open to admitting all eight bidders and as few as just two.

Only Hawthorn, Gold Coast and Essendon do not hold provisional licences, having not bid previously.

Sounds like the AFL and North will use the AFLW to push Tassie closer to a single club state. First the academy, then AFLW, then the AFL Team when North and the Hawks Tassie deals expire in 2021. Expect more North games in Tassie from 2022.

Couple of big leaps there.

Not unreasonable ones though.

 

[FastLife]

No thanks. I see the end game here.

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Not liking the sound of this.

Ginourmous, but y'know how it is.

Anything to get the goth make up out.

 

[Pykie]

I don't want it connected with the club as "Tasmanian Kangaroos", are they going to build a training base and facilities for this club then?

Why have a team called the "Tasmanian Kangaroos" train out of Melbourne?

Every other club has it connected to their name, half of the Adelaide side is from the NT, they're not called the Darwin Crows.

It adds nothing to our brand if it's not named the same.

Agree it's bullshit and weak.
I'd rather not have a women's team at all.
