a 20th team solves the bye issue but trying to start two new teams at the same time would be so disruptive requiring 90 new players and massive concessions affecting existing teams. expect them to go 1 team at a time

I wouldn't be surprised if the Suns fold. They're a nothing team. That'll solve the odd number of teams problem.

 

I'm delighted Tassy have a team. Should have happened a long time ago. 

And i doubt player retention will be a problem. It's not a problem for the cats and Hobart is a much nicer spot than Geelong.

Why not use a fraction of the funding for the new stadium and use it to redevelop Bellerive Oval instead? 

Bellerive is in a residential area with bad traffic and public transport after big crowds. Apart from traffic and transport, Macquarie Point is also a much better location from a hospitality and tourism point of view.

I’d pick Tasmania over Surfers Paradise or Bondi every time. Actually both of those places would be very close to the bottom of the list of anywhere in Australia to live.

Your favourite players are Brett Lovett & Robbie Flower. I dare say that you are unlikely to be the target demographic of AFL recruiters.

Not if you're 19-21


Ironically the introduction of a Tassie club could be the thing that finally does what Jeff Kennett has been banging on about for years and kill a Victorian club. The irony being Hawthorn rely on Tassie for their funding and without it, it could be them, after decades of Jeff suggesting it will be us.

Logically though North Melbourne will be in huge trouble when they lose their Tassie money. Lowest membership in Victoria, famously low attendances and always struggle financially. This will be interesting.

Calcutta is a much nicer place than Geelong.

Was in Kolkata recently.. it's very pleasant in its way but not quite Geelong

Howrah to Eden Gardens Ghat by ferry across the Hooghly... a lovely ride for around ten cents

Why doesn’t the AFL do an anonymous survey of all current players and juniors aged 15-18 asking whether anyone would want to relocate to Tassie. 


Tassie entering the comp is only a good thing! I suspect perceptions of player retention is born from views established prior to 2013 or so. Hobart is a different proposition now - with many features desirable to a large portion of people.

And the supporter base will be fiercely passionate - the Tasmanian Devils will fit seamlessly into footy folklore.

How dare you insinuate I’m old! I’ve only seen highlights of those 2 on Tik Tok. 😉

Not sure about your last line BDA. I travelled to Hobart quite a lot in my working life. It is overcast and cold for a large part of the year. If I had to choose between southern QLD and Hobart it would not be Hobart.

2027/2028 is being suggested

The next bargaining agreement with the players will run for 3-4 years. It is thought to be difficult to introduce a new team during the currency of that agreement

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
