Tasmania could support an AFL team, both financially and on the field. The thing is Tasmania will never get an AFL team, lets face it, New Zealand and Singapore will have a team in the Australian Football League before Tasmania ever does.
Tasmania should just jump on the A-League bandwagon. Getting crowds of around 7,000+ to A-League practice matches at York Park is pretty impressive considering 3 or 4 of the teams in the A-League get less or only slightly more to their regular season matches. This won't happen though, since it's Tasmania, as we've seen New Zealand get a side in the Australia Soccer League before Tasmania.
What about the Australian Basketball League? I won't even bother we all know New Zealand and Singapore have sides while Tasmania is, yep, not involved.
I find it ammusing that the only side Tasmania can boast is a cricket team. What's wrong with Australian cricket, get with it, New Zealand and Singapore should have sides, not Tasmania, what a fass. Tasmania can't even support a team, they don't have a big enough population to produce competitive players, they are a blight on the competition and are bringing it down.
Tasmanians should just get with the picture, you're not apart of Australia, you're worse than New Zealand. Go join some other country, you're not welcome here.
