Surely the Hawks have to relocate?...

    Another thought: This crossed my path in Narawntapu NP, northern Tassie a couple of weeks ago. So Tassie Tigers does fit!

    One more, I promise (and I really do think it's great there'll be a Tassie team. I've spent a good chunk of my life in that magical place):

    Just don’t call them the “Tasmanian Wascally Wittle Wabbits” because Disney would not like it.

    I have a question for you. 
    You’re a Melbourne supporter and I assume member of some type? Would you switch to support Tassie? Will they be your second team? Will you buy a membership? 
     

    I am just really curious what will the Tasmanians who already have a strong bond to an existing club will do. 

    Hi Jaded,

    Really good question, and something that I have been thinking about over the last couple of weeks. Would be interested to hear @Clintosaurus thoughts too.
     

    I will buy a Tassie membership yes. Would my allegiance swap, I don't really know, but overtime, I suspect that it would probably.  That said, knowing that we had so many Tassie players (or tassie born players) being stars for the Demons over my years, it's pretty incredible to think that Lyon and Neitz were both Tassie born, we had the Febey twins, Andy Lovell, Russell Robertson, Ben Beams, Brad Green, Jeremy Howe, Garland, Lamprill. But there were players before that like Ray Groom, Stuart Spencer, Ivor Warne-Smith, MaX Walker, Bob Johnson...
    Our club has had a strong linkage with Tassie players, as has St Kilda, Richmond and many of the Melbourne Clubs in truth. Riewoldt x 2, Peter & Paul Hudson, Alistair Lynch, Richo, ... 
    Anyway, I don't think I'd lose the fondness for Melbourne, but I think I would grow a strong attachment to the new team (plus working a 5 minute walk from Macquarie Point) is certainly appealing.

    I think we should lobby the entire country for the removal of the ‘Tigers’ from Richmond and for it to be allocated to Tasmania.

    Correct, but the animal is named after the "devil" so the team is, indirectly I guess ... so I see where Beetoota are coming from. Gave me a chuckle anyway 🙂

    The AFL have done an excellent job here.  They got the team up, they got all the clubs to agree, they got a new stadium and managed to get state and federal governments to pay for most of it.  Well done Gill.

    The Tasmanian Greenbacks? Predominantly green and white possibly a Huon pine silhouette. Personally I think the mighty Demons should stand strong and defend our daemonic namesake, 

    I can’t imagine these similar examples being tolerated,

    Saints / Angels, 

    Blues / Navy

    Bulldogs / Dogs 

    Suns / Solar 

    Power / Bolts, Volts 

    Eagles / Sea eagles 

    Demons / Devils, it takes away from our brand, fight it !!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
