I have heard plenty of things on social media,we will never stop it unfortunately.
SM matters not. Its already been decided where the games will be played & the team based.
That's only if the AFL give that the go ahead,it is not guaranteed the business case will be fully followed,it's just recomendations.
Unfortunately the AFL doesn't want it though,that is the big reason we won't get a team in the next ten years although with a change of CEO that may change.
Benny Gale is our only hope

No I mean when he takes over. I think he's seen as the NIL isn't he?
Well yes, obviously predicated on getting a team in the first place.
Even so, social media won't be part of any planning or team development strategies.
Cant see Tas ever being in a better negotiating position ........
Exactly I think the afl will happily push hawthorn out there ideal scenario is having north playing 7-8 home games down here that’s were our leverage comes in especially more so after corona if we withdraw north Melbournes deal that would put them and the afl under serious financial pressure I doubt our government would have the balls to follow through with it though!The Tas Govt needs to play hard ball, the sponsorship money going into the AFL clubs is a HUGE lever that can not be easily replaced.
Forget playing it out in the media more generally, the twitterati et al must be background noise.
Do it nicely but give Gil a deal that Messrs Kennett & Buckley cannot refuse.

The club’s constitution will state that game are to be split evenly. Finals would be played at the stadium with the largest capacity - so Launceston until Hobart gets a new stadium down the track. If so, Hobart would get the six games the next season.

I know they have to cut costs but having playing lists of 35 is not realistic whatsoever clubs struggle now when they have bad injurie seasons what do people expect first and second year players to play full seasons won’t happen!Fox Sports B. Waterworth 5.5

"A total of up to $36m could come back into the game's coffers...with...Caroline Wilson suggesting the 18 AFL Clubs could each face a salary cap cut of around $2m" ie Club player wages' bill to be cut from $13m-$11m from 2021.
C. Wilson also said
"And we're hearing $5.7m for the Football Department Soft or hard cap (from 2021- my words). Currently it is $9.7m per club.
The $36m hit AFL players reportedly could face in the long-term
The $36m headache AFL players could face the long-term
It has previously been mooted that Club player Lists would be permanently reduced from 2021, possibly to 35 per club.
As previously said, these significant permanent cuts to operating a Club means that a 19th Tas. Club (& other smaller clubs) would become much more viable financially- & more sustainable & competitive over the long term.

1. There are increasing calls from many influential AFL experts to reduce field sizes from 18 to 16 per team.
(see my post #3085)A Third Team In Sydney - It's Only a Matter Of Time !!
The issue I would have if I was a firm looking at investing in Aus rugby is the low salary caps compared to European rugby and the NRL as they will keep losing talent that can make the effort to develop players futile Where is the value in the investment? Its not a sponsorship.
A reduction to 16 per team makes it much easier & "cheaper" to run an AFL club. This, along with all the other cost reductions announced from 2021, will make small teams more viable- & more competitive over the long term. The reduction to 16 per team, if it occurs, will assist the financial case for a Tas. 19th team to be introduced c 2025.
2. The AFL has stated the new Rights' deals announced a month ago will reduce its Rights' payments by c. 12-13%, with the NRL forced into a discount c. double this % (but strongly denied by P. V'landys- the NRL is, unusually, refusing to provide any details of their new deals).

Yeah, I think I am with you all the way up to the AFL clubs literally having no means to get match practice into their reserve players. Well, I don't believe in AFL reserve players but obviously it is not good for players not selected not playing any football. I did not not see a problem with...
The case for a new, 19th Tasmanian team, therefore, is not materially affected by the AFL's reduced financial position.
In fact, C. Wilson said on Melb. Radio Sports Day program 23.7 that AFL broadcasters are very happy with AFL ratings in 2020, & there will be likely more Thur. night lucrative Prime Time games from 2021.
As I have previously noted in this thread, adding a 19th team creates an extra 11 games pa (198-209 pa; & possibly an extra Final, & Final 9 or 10). This also makes the Rights more valuable, & supports adding a 19th team in Tasmania.

Tas. will field a team in the NBL from 2021- & the Tas. govt. will provide new funding of $68.5m for a new DEC basketball court upgrade.
C. McCoy, from Basketball Tasmania, said he wanted " basketball to be the number one sport in the State within 4 years".
Deal signed giving Tasmania its own NBL team for 2021/22
The National Basketball League and the Tasmanian Government finalise a deal for the state to re-enter the competition in the 2021/22 season, after a 25-year absence.www.abc.net.au
Because Tas. does not have its own team, & therefore does not have the attendant tribalism/passion/local role models &e lite pathways etc., this neglect has caused Tasmanian AF to decline considerably.
