Tasmanian AFL Team

What do Demonlander fans think of a new Tassie team? 

Is a hot political potato down here as we come to an election. The Premier asked the new team to move the date of team launch - a week before the election - so as not to distract from issues.

People who say we should spend the money on healthcare and education do not understand the nature of politics.

They also don't realise that most AFLW players have 2nd jobs in education, nursing and other healthcare professions.

Most naysayers have likely never been to the G.

What would you have called the team then?

[Gawndy the Great 9,009]

Well you know the game between the two teams will have sort of hellish twist.

The "devil" in Tasmania Devils refers to the animal, not the biblical devil 

[Purple77 981]

Yeah look, Devils is nowhere near close to Demons.

It clearly refers to the animal. There is zero doubt in this, right guys?

Great name. Logical choice.

Overture, curtain, lights
This is it, the night of nights
No more rehearsing and nursing a part
We know every part by heart

Selfishly, I’m not looking forward to the drafting and recruiting chaos it will cause. The whole league gets shaken up to introduce a new team and I’m not in love with the idea of doing this for a team that’ll be all of the locals’ “2nd favourite team”.

Having said all of that, I think it is a wise choice for future economic benefit in the state and will benefit the next generation. Early years will be strange though.

Anybody want to bet against the Tassie team

a)  wearing a predominantly dark green jumper and

b)  being nicknamed "The Devils"?

Nobody took the bet.

I'm stunned at the latest news.  Amazed and in disbelief I tell yas.

F#@% Warner Brothers - that they could take out some garbage trademark over one of our national animals is absurd, similar to that of ugg boots (which will probably feature heavily in the official Tassie Devils merchandise).

So, really, on the basis of their shared "aggressive non-viral, transmittable parasitic cancer with lesions or lumps in and around the mouth," and their general demeanour, the natural rivals for the Tasmanian Devils would be...

[The Great Pretender 454]

After the election, the Tassie Devils will be cactus.

Devils & Demons. Has to be a Good Friday game, surely? 😉

[Surfer Dee 210]

I'd have called them the Tassie Wild. Styled in the vein of the Minnesota Wild in the NHL. Their look and jumpers would have worked perfectly. A waste.
