Retiring Tasmanian government tells AFL team to GAGF?

[James Colorado]

Even for bumper stickers it wasn’t expensive

Even if you were to open your wallet above the toilet and flush away your final $10 of actual physical cash, that would still have been a better use of it.

 

[Dinsdale]

No wonder you don't want Tasmania to be in the competition. Hawfies are going to be broke once they stop pretending to be Tasmania for money then they will have to merge with Naarm.

That was a quick switch, even for you.

How about this scenario... Tassie comes in when they can build a stadium, but only when NT also gets a team.

Thus, we have 20 teams. Each team plays the oppo once, so 19 games and then finals.

I hope their hideous mascot gets put down humanely when Tassie folds.

 

[Chronz]

I would like a series of apologies to be made to me right now by everyone making fun of my beautiful 200k membership club.

Who goes?

St kilda and north are the obvious ones. I know they won in 21 but the demons are an absolute disgrace. The CFL can never admit they are wrong but something needs to be done soon.
There’ll be three games this week with a combined total of 30,000 people there. Yes one of those is in Bunbury but even if it’s at the dome they’d be doing well to crack 10000. The product is more diluted than ever and they want another team? No matter how much money TV is pumping in and how many irrelevant shows fox footy can come up with the future of the game is ****ed with 18 teams.

I'm sorry you purchased an expensive bumper sticker.

Jazny could have got a "No AFL team. No stadium" sticker for FREE and be on the right side of history

The problem with getting Tassie crowd numbers is if you go by headcount it'll be double the number of tickets sold for seats

No confidence vote on the Jazmanian premier has succeeded.

The state of Tasmania deserves norf.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

I think they deserve all the funding that the AFL has wasted on Gold Coast and GWS and scrap those two teams and add NT and TAS. But that isn't ever going to happen, so you may be right.

 

[crazywildhorse]

I haven’t followed this at all, so I have to ask, why doesn’t the AFL let them use the one of the two perfectly-acceptable-no-need-to-pour-money-into stadiums?

No idea, fair question.

Why is the AFL blackmailing the Tasmanian taxpayers instead of funding their stadium/upgrade like what happened for the plastic clubs in the northern states?

1. AFL doesn’t overly want/need a team in Tasmania (It’s a small, captured market)

2. They believe the team is only viable playing out of a new stadium, making it more attractive for players and fans to want to go there.

Yeah, I'm not sure either. Give an old ground new whiz bang facilities and call it good

 

[Footy Is Good]

I don't get it. Don't they have football ovals in Tassie?

Why do they need a special ground a roof and all this shit anyway?

FFS, games are already played down there now as well as in Alice Springs, Darwin, Barossa Valley, Geelong, Sydney Showgrounds and all these other back of beyond cow paddocks and shitholes.

 

[Chronz]

all these other back of beyond cow paddocks and shitholes.

You already said Geelong.

Leave Rum'un alone you bullies.

Don’t worry, Rum’un has gone to a better place… alongside George Tropicana

 

[rdhopkins2]

What a mess, any wonder the place is named after a woman’s bush.

The Tassie government now trying to go full Brazilian.

That's a lotta wax

Jacqui Lambie has gone after Dill & Co. with both barrels in today’s medya reports.

“They’re nice enough but need to grow a pair.”

She’s one of the few politicians in this country that I can stand. If only the AFL had people of her calibre running things but ooooooh nooooo the old boys would never allow that

View attachment 2333844I feel for the tassie $10 members.10 bucks get you a bit of hay and some bagged apples for the ca... horses

There are still more members in Year 1 than North if the government gets its act together, lol.

 

[Chronz]

Imagine the melts if Kern2Taxmania was a thing, I imagine massive meltdowns sitewide if the Jackwoldt repsonse was anything to go by.

 

[Truetiger]

Still more successful then Stkilda, Won’t take them long to go past you lol.
