Tasmania deserved to see high-quality games.
“In that article, the way it came across, the only contributing factor was the Tasmanian factor. People around I think people around the country, where ever they live, are entitled to see good competition,” Kennett said on radio station SEN this morning.
"I would argue very strongly that the Tasmanian community, who are more committed to AFL football than any other community per capita in Australia, they love their football, are equally entitled, once every four and a half years to see every Victorian team in Tassie,” Kennett said.
"Don’t forget St Kilda used to play games in Tassie until recently … as a result of that they have a lot of members there. Aren't their members entitled once every four and a half years to see their club?
The former Victorian premier said there were many reasons that attendance figures were down this year, but that the Hawks’ deal to play four games a year in Tasmania was not one of them.
