It’s probably been mentioned but is there an issue with their name Devils vs Demons?

'The Maps' whenever they are annoying.

Are we cool with the Devils nickname? Bit of prison bar vibes.

As long as the Devils jumper is not Red and Blue.

There you go, the Tassie Islanders. Shut the gate 

Islanders or Devils. Both NHL teams haha.

I'm totally on board with Tassie joining and potentially a 20th side BUT would hate to see a conference system. Absolutely no need for it imo.  

Warner Bros owns the trademark, Tasmanian Devil.  The AFL applied for a Trademrk, Tasmania Devils, in 2019 but it has not proceded.  This has been reported on several news sites.

I favour "Tasmanian Tigers" to ignite another team.

 

Not all young Tasmanian men would want to stay in tassie to play.

Some talent, not Sicily, may prefer to live in Tassie. You only need 5-6 %.

If I was choosing a new club jumper, I would be consulting an optometrist or similar to identify which colour or colours is most easily spotted by team mates in the heat of a game.

Read the "business plan". It isn't a business plan. Like most business plans to do with government money, it is a collection of fuzzy goals devoid of hard numbers. Throw in a compulsory genuflection to diversity, inclusion, jobs, community and the environment. Dan has the template. Any of the big consultancies will tick for a fee.

I don’t understand how they can own the name of an actual animal

Well, Warner Brothers have been smart enough to have the copyright of the Tassie Devil  registered as their property so if the AFL want that name it’s a question of whether, as a matter of goodwill, they will release it to the team representing the state.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Eddie Everywhere gets involved here because the current CEO of Warners is a Collingwood fan who Eddie knows well.

Haha really? Yeah, Eddie would love to play a part in this.

 

Islanders or Devils. Not a big fan of the big T on the jumper…Looks like a training jumper

 

So great that this is happening though. So happy for Hobart.

It'll depend on the goods and services for which the trade mark is registered.  AFL should be able to register if there is no overlap or if there is overlap, they receive consent from Warner Brothers.  Wouldn't imagine it would be too controversial since the WB Tassie Devil is quite different from an AFL football club.  Presume in 2019 the AFL simply decided not to bother with continuing the trade mark application

I wonder if Demons/Devils is all that different to Eagles/Hawks or Magpies/Crows or Tigers/Lions or Cats/Dogs.

I've yet to hear a good suggestion for the new team's nickname other than "Devils" and would be dismayed if they went for something nebulous like Power, Storm, Heat etc.

It's all in the detail.

This.

The 'T' stands for tacky.

It's the similar 'D' name that gets me. No issue with the Tasmania Lucifers, Anti-Christs or Princes of Darkness

since when the map of tasmania been associated with the chest? 

What is your point DC ? It's logical on the front of the guernsey. It's nothing about the chest !! It's featuring what state is represented. A T is also looks good as well.

Yes and could quickly change to spuds!

 

It seems there is a long way to go before any team hits the ground. Clearly the Labor opposition is not keen on the idea their leader did not attend the announcement. The money so far announced won't go close to building the stadium. There is a lot of opposition to the idea and location in Tassie. IMO it won't happen before the end of this decade if at all.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
