WoweeeeeThanks BT.
He who pays the piper calls the tune. North begs them for the chance to play in Hobart in return for cash. Tassie is just ensuring it gets its money worth.
As for the North fans who don't like it, tough. You made your choice, now you have to wear the consequences.
Hobart Kangaroos anyone....
In all seriousness, this means more Etihad home games for MCG clubs. Let's hope it falls on deaf ears. But considering no one cares about GWS in Sydney should have gone with a Hobart team!!!
Thanks BT.

Well I guess we will never see North Melbourne play Hawthorn in Melbourne ever again =(

Hobart just wants a taste of what Launceston has with Hawthorn and that's understandable. North is a team on the up.
If North play four games there and get a similar deal as Hawthorn, coupled with expected onfield success, I suspect our future in Melbourne would be more secure.

So if Tassie AFL followers already have their own existing club they support, what is the likelihood that in a small place like Tassie with virtually no population growth could muster enough support for its own side to be long term self-sustaining? And to think that 2 Melbourne clubs would have to die for it to happen? No thanks!If the Roos are going to become Tasmania's team they've gone about it in an incredibly stupid manner. A Tasmanian team has to unite both North and south Tassie, and currently North Melbourne are associated with Hobart. The AFL has further divided the state by placing different teams in Hobart and Launceston, after citing the North-South divide as one of the impediments to a Tassie team.
Tasmanians have been following the VFL/AFL for donkeys, the only way locals will truly (and instantly) support a Tassie team is if it's brand new. It's a hard sell for a Tasmanian Geelong supporter to suddenly start supporting North. They deserve their own team, not Melbourne's unwanted scraps. Best case scenario (though unlikely) for Tassie getting it's own team in the next decade is a merger between 2 Melbourne clubs, which opens up a spot for a new team.
They holding a gun to the heads of the CEO of a football club are they?
Why are people saying we will relocate to Tasmania? That's not going to happen!

We have a great arrangement with Hobart, but North is a Melbourne team.
Our games down there helps the struggling Tasmanian economy during the winter months.
North makes a nice profit on games it would lose money on with the Etihad Stadium deal.
Membership increase is huge as well, nearly 4000 Tas members already.
I can see it ending up as successful as the Hawks in Launceston.

Yeah how dare the football state that gets shafted on a daily basis by the AFL start to stand up for itself.Reports are circulating this morning about two key Tasmanian tourism chiefs wanting as many as 4 home games a year in Hobart. This would deny mainland North members more Melbourne home games, where the vast majority of it's membership resides.
They also want to attach conditions that GWS and Gold Coast not play as part of those 4 games. Obviously they are not good enough for Tasmania.

That's because they are not going to be a Tasmanian team.If the Roos are going to become Tasmania's team they've gone about it in an incredibly stupid manner.
Finally we've made a success out of games outside of Melb, packed stadium, all north colors, great brand of footy, improves their economy as well as giving us $1million for the 2 games instead of writing cheque to Etihad. Increase in Membership, sponsorship.
I'd be more then happy with 4 games, not sure about six as we want to expand our base into Ballarat.
Then why play any games there?No we aren't.
Same. However the club is still maintaining relationship with them, including per-season games. Our sponsorship backboard has Ballarat on it. So its a long term strategic relationship, waiting game I suppose.whats the word on Ballarat? Last I heard the state govt were still wishy washy on committing funds
