I guess its not really a criticism of St Kilda but a criticism of the AFL's argument against a Tasmanian AFL side.The AFL now owns a billion dollar asset in Etihad stadium in part thanks to us playing our home games there for a pittance for 16 years.

I vaguely remember reading a table last year that the Dogs got the most assistance of any team in the League...It does look bad that Stk get so much more than the other etihad tenants, considering gill is a saints supporter. We've all been forced to sacrifice 16 years of match day revenue. Glad it's over now hopefully we get a fair deal
AFL say that Tasmania is unable to support an AFL side as it requires $50m of revenue to run one.
Meanwhile a Victorian club has a revenue of under $40m and the AFL is basically bankrolling half that...

WTF why does Sydney get so much?... Also, so much for the Saints massive handouts..
Ah true, I'm sure I read something at the end of last year saying the Dogs got something crazy like $8m from the AFL.Whats not on the table is handouts from the last two years which were counted as the AFLs "disequal funding" or other assistance. This includes millions given to both St Kilda and Brisbane.
Tasmania already supports two teams.
the problem is that Gold Coast matches the entire of Tasmania in terms of population in a far more condensed area and western Sydney is far larger.FWIW i think its bullshit and Tassie shouldve had a team before GC and GWS, frustrating that they seem to concentrate more on all these imaginary millions of fans they are going to get over the fans that are the reason its as big as it is now.
