I did this about 6 months ago. Save yourself the pain. Talks about growth rate in Tasmania compared to the mainland, but doesn't want to use percentage as measurement. You know, the metric that growth is measured in, in almost any context? Have fun rofl
I maintain many South Asian and East Asian immigrants could be drawn to the game with the right outreach programs. But it isn't going to just happen due to them becoming absorbed into the dominant culture the way it did for Greek and Italian immigrants. The AFL hierarchy need to make a real effort on that one.

Absolute madness that the afl are letting Travis Auld have anything to do with potential expansion the bloke made a terrible mess setting up the suns.1.
AFL Statement: Update on Tasmania
The AFL has released a statement regarding the assessment of a position for a Tasmanian licensewww.afl.com.au
Sam Graham was formerly in charge of AFLNSW/ACT- where he attracted praise for the major growth of GR AF nos. in NSW & ACT under his reign.
He is fully aware of the power of tribalism, & the impact of having one's own local elite team & local elite pathways; & how the Swans & GWS have been a massive contributor to AF growth in NSW & ACT.
Graham was promoted to AFL HQ in 2020.
It will be very advantageous for Tas., therefore, that he will be one of the 2 joint representitives from the AFL HQ assessing the merits of adding a Tas. team as the 19th club.
(Scroll down to point 2)A Third Team In Sydney - It's Only a Matter Of Time !!
1. A follow-up to post # 1442 above, where the Daily Telegraph reported 10.1.20 that GR AF jnr. club nos. in some parts of Sydney exceed (including some traditional RL areas) jnr. RL club nos. (& possibly explain why AFLNSW/ACT's S. Graham has been promoted, to be the AFL National Game...
2.
Yes.
I find it very strange that the big majority of sports' fans readily acknowledge the huge importance of tribalism/GR emotional connections for the progress of their local elite team & sport- but many claim these 2 factors are not relevant to the significant decline in male GR AF in Tasmania.
Well champ it must be a reasonable standard comp and be pretty well regarded around the world when you have first round draft picks coming here to play instead of college and EuropeThis thread is always entertaining, but the suggestion that NBL is a high standard of basketball on a global scale takes the cake.
The first three days sold out in about five minutes (10.5k for each day). There is this thing called COVID that has reduced capacity at venues.
I read an article that said Collingwood have the record for the most grand final losses in the history of the AFL. Is that wrong?
I think if you mothball 27 grand finals you should lose your AFL license. That's about as valid an opinion as crowd attendances at an old boring sport, in a dead rubber, in the middle of a pandemic being a basis to question Tasmania's entry into the AFL.
Hang on, your posted asking what the crowds were, when you already new. So boring. Once again, there is this thing called cOVID, which means that many who bought tickets could not go because they are sick, or in iso, or don’t want to catch it.
I struck a nerve with facts. Interesting...

Test Cricket Results & Attendances | Austadiums
List of recent Test Cricket results and scores, including attendance figures.
According to the above they had 9002, 8711 and 8088. I'm not sure what restrictions were in place but if it is the 10500 mentioned earlier they have had 90%, 87% and 80% capacity across the three days. That seems pretty good to me.
Capped at 14000 actually
The first three days were sold out with 14000 cap but sadly after it sold out Covid hit the state which meant thousands had to go into isolation and many more chose not to go due to the fear. I heard many people saying they couldn't go now due to this,it is the presales you need to look at and not the end attendance that was significantly affected by Covid that hit the state just before the test.
