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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
