I have a soft spot for the Shinboners but if they can't make ends meet then they need to relocate to a place where they can flourish or just fold. They're already selling out their own fans to the tune of four home games a year just to keep their heads above water so it's time to [censored] or get off the pot for them in regards to Tasmania.  

If the concerns about a phoenix club being viable down there are credible then moving lock stock and barrel could see them keep enough of their Melbourne based support to make the difference. I don't want to see them being gifted 'home' games in Melbourne as a sweetener to move however.

    I've worked out how to make it viable.

    Every home game they can play a double header.

    And Bob's your uncle (more than likely).

    There's no way they're sending a Victorian team there - imagine having fans from the south, fans from the north and fans from Victoria all having to be catered for.

    My prediction is that they won't want 20 teams so a Victorian club will be merged with Gold Coast (ironic if North, but I'd want to keep our finances above float just in case) to pump them up, opening the space for a brand new club to start in Tasmania.

    The only issue I have with this is talent. There is already not enough talent to go around for 18 teams adding another will only exacerbate this issue.

    That never seems to be factor in AFL decisions Dr.Their attitude seems to be 40 more players would be playing at the top level. Quality doesn't seem to matter.

    I would put all their home games before June and half of Brisbane and Gold coasts after June and the other half down south. Then give the Roo/Devils 2 home games later in the year at the G to bring in footy followers. [censored] playing down there in July and August. Yes it would stuff up a lot of "Big matches" but it wouldnt bother me.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
