Tigers in Tasmania?

[tiger_tough]

What value do you put on 2 extra losses? It cost us finals in 2012 playing GC in Cairns.

I'd want the club to explain why we are so desperate for the cash that we'd sell an MCG game.

You're assuming we sell an mcg game.

Even if we did I highly doubt it'd compromise our finals chances in the next 2 years.

There’s nothing wrong with Tasmania, definitely not a punishment. I would travel there. Lovely place.

Yes I'm sure the players will love the airport, the bus, the hotel, the tinpot ground and then back to the airport.

We only play 1 home game at Marvel, so if it's 2 games then an MCG game is involved as well.

I hope we know our worth and ask for more than whatever Hawks are getting.

 

[Toadvine]

I think it's a great idea but I am biased.

Norf have a bad rep in Tassie because they don't invest time in the community like the Hawks have.

I think Norf get almost 2mil a year for playing down here which is basically like another major sponsor.

If we asked for 3mil say... Would that make it worth it?

Don’t we do that for interstate games anyway? It doesn’t make much difference. Last time I checked, we’ve won games on the road, so not that either, lol. Time will tell.

 

[AstuteTiger]

Wonder how much they're offering but surely it's over $1m/game. Possibly 2.

Absolutely do it for the marvel home games. No brainer.

Need the money to finish PRO redevelopment.

1 mill would be the starting price
1.5-2 mill a game would be around the mark.

I mean lolnorth is getting 1 mill a game to play 2 games in WA

For away games, which we have 0 control over where they play.

If given the choice I'd expect players would rather a night in their own bed.

We can thank the tossers who didn’t show up to the suns and crows games this year lol

Well we played a 'home' game at the Barossa this year, so maybe we'll just be the away side for gather round the next 2 seasons?

Not sure how gather round home games work in regards to revenue. Might be a split gate, not sure.

 

[Truetiger]

It might be a bit biased, but when Tasmania enters the competition, I wouldn’t mind playing them first up, lol. So no issue having 2 games in Hobart.

 

[Ctl]

It would only be for 2 years until tassie enter the comp, and our mcg games would be unaffected. Whilst we are rebuilding and redevloping punt rd it makes a lot of financial sense

 

[Underarm]

Also (and I don't think this is an important factor) - you can't make claims about being the biggest club with the best fans if your selling away their access to the club.

All money goes to the AFL during Gather Round Including the showdown

Nope. Gather round doesn't take away from our 11 home games in Melbourne. This deal will reduce the amount of home games in Melbourne by 2 - 1 each from Marvel and MCG.

Exactly that’s why I can see it happening

If it's just a two year deal as mentioned it's not the end of the world.

And if it's 3 mil for two games over two years that's 6 mil which will go a long way towards the punt Road oval development

It says 'a game or two'. Not 2.

Personally I wouldn't give a heck if we lost one MCG home game against a minnow interstate club for 2 seasons.

 

[banzai]

Hard pass. People need to get over their hatred of Marvel. A scheme like this will screw us when we want to make finals in a couple of years time.

We aint playing finals in the next 2 years and it will surely end once Tassie come into the comp in 3 years time.

Due to the dramatic rise in cost there’s a funding shortfall for the pro development, I expect the club would be all ears and writing our own ticket seeing they approaches us , we need 25mn to bridge the gap . For 2y it’s a yes

You sure about that? The Tasmanian government has said they would like as many games in the state as possible, including Hawthorn Could include us as well

Exacory

 

[tiger_tough]

Maybe we won't be r*ped and pillaged when Tassie build there list too, if we do the State Gov/Devils/AFL a solid here....

After party at DickieKnee shack

They may very well in fact I’m damned sure they’ll attempt to buy a home game to add to their fixture ,,,,,again write own ticket seeing they, if it’s v devils double the price
