In response to HG ,

I personally love Tassy and every time I go I vow to move there one day .It must be very difficult to make a living there though as unemployment is so high ,education limited and mines ,logging ,fishing etc facing more regulation .The "Grey Dollar" may be a blessing for Tassy except I fear that the oldies who move there may be tight asses . Anyway ,Tassy will develop in some unexpected ways .I think many artists and musicians are moving there . Big town jokes or put downs about Tas are silly .I'm jealous of what they have .Plus we got your brother ,Howe ,and greeny from there .Thanks Tassy .

Yeah its a very peaceful place. I say to people don't knock it until you go for a look, if you then don't like it then fair enough. Probably one of the few places left in Aus where you can drive down to the pub on a Friday night, leave your car outside with the keys left in and unlocked (not good practice) and go back Monday morning and pick it up. Its like a big family - Yes we are all related!!!

I have a family that has generations of fishing and logging and that is drawing to a close, I started out fishing but got into the underground mines, which a couple will close down in the next 2-3 years, hence why I had to move away for better opportunities and money, the average wage in Tas is very low.

The Tas footy team talk started many years ago, when I was a boy and when everyone thought it would be great to field a team with Alistair Lynch, Darryn Cresswell, the Febeys, Matty Richardson, Andy Lovell, Paul Hudson, Darren Pritchard, Paul Williams, Brendon Gale, Simon Atkins, Jamie Shanahan, Doug Barwick, Graeme Wright (his brother is my lawyer!) etc etc. Back then it would of been ok, but footy has got so much bigger now and probably outgrown the state.

Tassie have had some fantastic brave footballers, many who didn't play in the VFL/AFL. Tassie people love their footy but I just think it would be viable. Great place to be and the locals will make you feel welcome. :)

    The guy may have done well in making money for the game, but he is tearing it's heart out to do it.

    I agree, he had to put his grubby fingerprints all over it.

    Col.

    Col spoke beautifully, glowingly about Jim and esp the work he'd done with reach.. (him, frawls and the captains - everyones been so good in such a crap period for the Mfc)

    Would be great if you could thank him personally on behalf of Dees fans..

    I will do that just for you. If one thing I have learnt from Jim it is to treat others how you like to be treated, if someone is doing a good job, let them know.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
