Cornes' concern for St Kilda following salary cap report
St Kilda players across the board recently agreed to a seven per cent pay cut.www.sen.com.au
Saints fans in this thread looking real silly right now
Stage 1 of the relocation
Must be a three team merger then, as hawks and your mob already played there..
Logic....
No mate.
Hawthorn can afford to lose Tassie.
We're redeveloping Arden St and involved in the wider precinct.
We are debt free and want to be Melbourne only.
St Kilda are laden with debt and reliant on the AFL to service it.
Hence desire to move to Tassie. For some games. That rapidly becomes eight.
Then the full relocation.
You lot have no idea how close to the ledge you are.
It is utterly astounding
Ok lets give you a moment to do your little dance:
Why would the AFL and state government commit money to Moorabbin's continuing redevelopment if the plan was to move us?
Because it won't be presented as a full relocation.
The AFL learns. Learned from murdering Fitzroy, learned from their failed attempt with us and the Gold Coast.
It'll be slowly at first. Four games. Then six. Then eight. They'll let you play women's at moorabin, they'll pretend your coppers game with Hawthorn is a blockbuster.
They'll boil you like a frog.
Now, a question for you and the other saints fans.
If everything is so hunky dory and the debt doesn't matter, why the sudden interest in flogging games to Tassie.
You are dangerously close to the edge here and seem completely unaware of it.
Nice aggressive post there mate, really made a sh*t point while ignoring the question completely.
Plonker of a poster, plonker of a thread.
Hearing whispers North and Melbourne are presenting to the AFL throughout this year about playing games at a smaller boutique venue in Melbourne in 2022 with a view to potentially redeveloping an existing stadium to hold 30k moving forward.
That stadium will be Ikon park.

Moorabbin is a community centre precinct right?
Probably just as important, if not more politically, as a hub for women’s football
Yeah i'm sure that's the secret plan, women's football.
Stage 1 of the relocation
Why would the Tassie government walk away from deals with Hawthorn and/or North, on the basis of wanting their own team, only to agree to a deal to have St Kilda play games there instead?

Well they dont have a deal with Hawthorn and North Melbourne from 2022.
Fair to say that St Kilda games would be a great deal cheaper than Hawthorn games to buy.
The AFL would be wrapt if St Kilda took Hawthorn games for the same reason they wanted North to take our games...
It helps out a struggling Victorian team at a time of great financial uncertainty.
That said, I doubt St Kilda, North or Hawthorn will relocate to Tasmania.
A relocated club in a mature market like Tasmania (where 90% of people already have a team) would be a disaster.
Hawthorn has been in Tasmania since 2000 and our membership has been 10,000 or so for 12 years (there is no further growth left in the market unless you convince Tasmanian Coll, Rich, Ess (etc) fans to embrace a relocated team)
