Tassie what?

Recommended Posts

Firstly I figure the side will be Tasmania related, not Hobart or Launceston to avoid the split allegiances.

Do you think the side will be Tassie, Tasmania or Tasmanian?

Obviously Tigers and Devils are the first things that come to mind for the team name but probably can't be used for obvious reasons. Has anyone got any better ideas?

The Apples?

The Quolls?

The Frogs?

The Blue Gums?

Pretty average, but am trying to think of something Tasmanian. Any better ideas, or maybe something completely different?

Previously sides from Tassie have been : Tasmanian Devils and the underage side playing as Tassie Mariners.

Can we have devils and demons in the same comp? i can't really see a reason why not if the jumpers are different? Maybe a black/brown jumper with a white horizontal stripe like a tassie devil?

I lived in Tassie for 5 years. Every team in Tassie is a Devil or a Tiger it is bloody boring and predicable.

However If any team was formed in Tassie It should be called the "TATERS"

We used to go to Nth Hobart oval and watch the Devils play when they were good under Ex Dee Beams. We called them the taters.

We named all the players, Wedges, Gnocchi, The Masher, Spud, Kennebec, Pink eye, Chips, Frenchy, Jason Heatley was still called the Heater though.

We called Nth Hobart over The Deep Fryer.

It was great. The next year another group of drunks were also calling them the Taters and even had there own T Shirts made up.

So if any Team came from Tassie they should call them after what it is really famous for......the good old spud.

GOOOOO TATERS!!!!

That is probably close to the most stupidist thing I have ever read.

"The friendly family club" :)

I think "The mighty Apples" would be great. They can get the fruit people to sponsor them, and have a large apple running around the field.

Maybe go with a green uniform and use it to camouflage their players on the field for sneaky possession, they could colour match to the grass, be stealthy team....

or could they go with something like the 'southern sharks?' or tasman somethings? rather than tasmania...

southern stars? with a southern cross on the jumper? doesn't sound great to me but the type of thing the afl would go for.

i'd prefer to see the afl stick with traditional type team names, 2-3 colours with big broad jumpers (stripes, sashes etc), and a song that is recorded by with about 10 blokes singing and a brass band backing it.

Yeah but if ya ship richmond tigers off to Tassie, you get the 'TASSIE TIGERS'.. ive been calling for it for ages, give heaps to the tigers supporters at the herald-sun

God i hate the tiges and their supporters.. and wallet, i mean wallace..

the yellow strip could be turned horizontally, then add the bottom part to form a big 'T' (for tassie tigers)

and they could put the map of Tassie, right on the front of their white shorts, cause we all know how they're a bunch of [censored]. ;)

I agree with ya keep it traditional and oridginal and the song well look at ports and freos,

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
