    looks like the outsourced the design to a 9 year old

    Gonna let that slide and the first shot at a rivalry with a new team ;) Did you honestly think that the jumper would be anything different?  

    I just signed up as a foundation member for the 6 members of my family. The order number was approximately #13700 I think. Most of the people on the AFL facebook site that supports the team and stadium are buying between 2-4 memberships.  Its possible that there are 25k-30k foundation members signed up for this team inside of 35 minutes. Sure it's not a full membership for games etc, but if it says anything about a team and stadium and interest in a Tasmanian team. 

    Edit: as of 8pm, the foundation member order numbers are over 19k. Given each have multiple memberships, there is a chance of 40k - 50k members signing up tonight.

    friend's response - why does their logo look like a hairy fish?

    Keep trolling, you might get someone who actually finds you amusing.

    Liking the nod to tradition in the guernsey, the traditional State footy colours and the 'Devils' moniker 👍

    It's named after the animal.  Not the religious devil.

    and why do you think it was named a devil?

    hint: not because it was cute and cuddly

    Is there a clash/away variant of the jumper?

    yep, they haven't announced them but not sure how many teams the green will clash with, it's more a dark and light strip I suspect.

    It would clash with our navy jumper at night. Would need either a red on green variation or a light green variation.

    Could be mainly yellow with red and green, or white with the other 3 colors, thinking of the Jackjumpers, and thats how they have gone.

    I agree the green would clash with MFC, Carlton and possibly a few others

    If I was picking the colour of a football jumper, the last colour I would pick is......green.

    Why? It matches the grass .

    I would pick the colour(s) that make it easiest to spot a teammate...not the hardest.Did they consult an optometrist ?

    Maybe fluro.? Maybe a bridge too far .

    Makes no difference.  There are two devils.  The religious one and the animal one.  Tasmania has chosen the animal.  This will be my final comment.

    Surely the jumper they were wearing today is a joke? The colours, a map of tassie and that “T”. Any design, any design and colours.. and they went with that?

    Please oh Please let the marketers get ahead of the game and have the Dees and Devils play during Dark Mofo every year. 

    Red lighting around the ground, fire 🔥, make it absolute spectacle 

     

    Would be EPIC

    They’ve just cracked 50,000 members within 3 hours of being announced! Their stated goal was 40,000 by October.

    A proper football state finally getting their own team. So much better for the competition than soulless franchises like GWS and GC. I wish them well.

    I'm all for Tasmania having a team .Good numbers but they are $10 memberships.

    I think they will be a great addition to the comp and probably be about of peoples "2nd" team. That jumper though is seriously rubbish . Giants showed how you can create a modern jumper that will hold up for decades to come. Logo looks good

    I would have liked a full rebrand and kept that jumper and name for state football history but if this is what they think will work then go for it.

    exactly

    i don't mind the logo personally, nor the name particularly (although the lack of n is just odd)

    but the state jumper? should've been a no-no

    60k as of 45 min ago.

    I’m hearing that the jumper is a foundation jumper, so those who don’t like the designs ,it might change.

    Agree they are not actual memberships, but it’s indicative of the support this team will have.

    Btw GWS and GC will get the rub of the green this season, both already 2-0. The AFL must be salivating at the idea of their 2 experimental clubs to be contenders in September.

    Took them 27 years, multiple priority picks,an Academy and multi millions of AFL support

    27 years? Wasn’t that when port came into the comp?

    GWS and GC were around 2010?

    point is still valid tho I guess!

    I'm delighted that Tassy have an AFL team.

    However, the guernsey is a shocker. The final designs will be different, surely.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
