[Mr Taswegian]

Would struggle to give them away i recon

Plenty of freebies are been given away.

Well you can't really blame Tasmanians,this game would only get 15000 in Melbourne and it obviously shows that Tasmanians are well and truly over North Melbourne.

Indeed, and it proves that Tassie needs its own team to stop the embarrassment of cheap giveaway tickets for out of teams playing games there

Geez how embarrassing is that

 

[Tasmanian saint]

Not having a crack mate make the most of it good opportunity for north fans to see a game cheap take the family

 

[Mr Taswegian]

Geez how embarrassing is that

Well that's what I have heard people say but it could be wrong.

Such a badass video

 

[Bjo187]

Where is this video people are referring to?

You can also pledge your support for a team, although I don't know why they are doing this again after they did it last year and got over 60000 pledges.

What are people's crowd predictions for the game in Hobart today?.....I think probably around the 2500 mark.

That'd be the worst crowd in Bellerive history. Even covid affected crowds last year against the Giants got more than 2.5k.

 

[Mr Taswegian]

Yes I know that game got just under 3500

 

[Mr Taswegian]

Looks like a record low attendance in Hobart today for North vs Port, I fear the government definitely won't sign a new deal with north next season because it they just get little out of it.

Surely more with discounted tickets

During the last quarter I could partially hear the ground announcement about the attendance figure. It was 5 thousand and something.

If is was still 5000 odd then that's still reasonable all things considered.

Wasn't there discounted tickets on offer and in some cases freebies?

 

[Mr Taswegian]

Yes but that is often the case with low drawing games, but I think 5500 is reasonable really considering how poor north have been and Covid etc etc.

 

[Mr Taswegian]

Former Tasmanian Premier has been announced as the head of Tasmania's new Stadium Tasmania group and has said two of their first two tasks will be working on Hobart's new stadium and the upgrade of UTAS stadium.

I'm assuming it's Gutwein.

I'm assuming it's Gutwein.

That's right,I didn't realise I left it out.

Tasmanian AFL Taskforce Facing Financial Battles For 19th License

Where to next?

Sorry if this is already posted.
Not sure why the Govt would need to chip in of the club is profitable. I assume the $7m - 11M per year is a guarantee, so that the AFL does not have to pay an increased dividend like they do with half of the existing clubs.

 

[Bjo187]

So the commitment will be 19 mill per year? It says 11 mill plus the existing 8 mill for north and hawks.

The business case explicitly notes a worst case gov contribution of 9m. AFL funding expected to be about the same level as North/Dogs/Dees at 17m.

The AFL would need to provide access to the same model of AFL annual distributions that other member Clubs currently receive. Elsewhere, we have considered the equity of this and believe a Tasmanian licence would add broadcast or content value to the AFL and should therefore justify its participation in these distributions. Smaller Clubs in 2018 typically received in excess of $22M – while that could be a reasonable request of the AFL in pursuit and support of a Tasmanian licence, we have modelled just $17M. We chose this amount in an endeavour to provide assurances that the club should be more robust financially than either a newly established club or a bottom quartile AFL team, and to ‘incentivise’ the AFL to consider a revamp of what it currently states is a competition structure already stressed with regard to talent with 18 teams. The Government currently funds AFL content in Tasmania by an estimated $7.5-8.5M paid annually under contract directly or via a third-party statutory authority. In building our model, we will require the State to supplement the ‘missing’ AFL ‘small club’ distribution through the provision of an annual grant or fund. We have, however, built a model that suggests that the State need invest less than it does today ($7.3M vs $7.5-8.5M) for additional content (11 versus eight premiership home matches and four versus two AFLW home games) and, crucially, inclusion of its ‘own’ team.
