They wont be going to Burnie I can promise you that. The lucky club will be located in either Launceston or Hobart. I prefer Lonny , it has a top ground IMO

If it was St Kilda who took up the relocation option then it's likely they'd be the Tassie Saints, as the AFL would be keen to not alienate the majority of the existing supporter base. All the symbols like the song, colors, history would relocate. It's happened before, initially with St Kilda's 1965 relocation from the Junction Oval to Moorabbin, then to Seaford and more recently back to Moorabbin.

There's ten or so million reasons why it remains a possibility! Obtaining and then having consistent on field success is the only way remove those not insignificant reasons. As we well know, thats a task that always seems to be just out of reach for the club!!Wash your mouth out - we’re not even considering it for one moment

We have to get to a self sustainable model soon. We have no excuses any more. We don't have the crippling stadium deal, we just can't get consistently competitive enough or offer a good enough experience to get people to the ground to watch us. Membership is good but no-one goes to games and our future prospects are more hopeful than certain. I honestly don't feel we are anywhere close to a premiership unless an absolute miracle happens.
Our history suggests that waiting for miracles isn't a great strategy. North actually look more like they are building up for another crack than us as we slowly cherry pick pieces and hope that Ben King can be pinched and carry 20 other guys with him and his brother.
Honestly the club is probably the worst run in the AFL because they don't have a real model, it's a welfare model based on the AFL's charity. If they get crippled by COVID it might be out of our hands. The club have done it to themselves and can't really blame anyone else.
Yeah down the road , interstate, same thing right?
Say they go to Launcenston, half the vic Saints fans get pissed off and stop following, ( like the South Melbourne supporters did ), and then the Hobart people don't support them, cos those Launcstarians are weird folks, they don't even drink normal beer.
The whole model for financing the clubs is wrong.
The AFL get the real money in television rights. Pretty sure there are a lot more people watching on TV than ever go to the games.
Then there is the disparity iin stadiums.
Look at Geelong, they were given a Stadium, and they get to run the catering. I once heard they make more from the catering than they do from the gate.
Did they do anything real clever?, financially astute? ,did they put in the hard yards to get that Stadium. Nope, they were given their shitty little stadium to use.
I listened to colin carter on the radio today- hosted by ali Nicholson, carter was very solid on a team for Tasmania. Made a mockery of those who created myths to put roadblocks up. He shut down cam ling pretty easily ( what a ********). Carter found no reasons that could prevent a 19th team in the competition. It was better to hear him say it and answer questions about this and that instead of reading bits and pieces from the naysayers.
So let them start a team.
