Tasmanian AFL Team

I’m so glad we are going to have a Tasmanian team. It’s long overdue.

Which brings me to the jumper. It feels older - like it was designed mid century. I like it. It feels like a middle finger to the AFL. A way to say ‘should have been done decades ago’. I also like that it’s associated with state of origin. Gives the club a really unified ‘us against the world’ attitude right from the start. Sport is tribal, and this really delivers on that.

I personally can’t stand the devil motif. It’s far too over worked. They’ve got some time to refine that and get it right. The crows took a while to figure out how to make their bird feel premium, and iconic. It’ll come together. 

It’s all great for the sport, and for Tassie. I hope its success highlights some of the AFL’s poor decision making to chase ‘potential populations’, instead of delivering to established football communities.

    Welcome Tassie!

    And commiserations to all Tasmanian 'Landers who now have an emotional dilemma!

    700-odd posts in, barn door, horse, bolted. But...

    On the jumper, has the opportunity been missed to use the Tassie map as a yoke (à la the Opera-House-d Swans yoke)?

    And the 'T' shows a lack of confidence in brand recognition.

    p.s. How are the Flinders, King, Cape Barren and Bruny Islands and Tasman Peninsula folks feeling about the design?

    (#2's a good riff on my earlier thoughts. But don't forget the King I. and Flinders / Cape Barren I. epaulettes!😄)

    We've seen how original jumper designs of new clubs have changed over the years, sometimes very significantly. So, don't lose hope; these and variations in time won't surprise.

    On a related matter, an opportunity was missed to have a first Indigenous strip (though perhaps this would have been a bit awkward given one of the issues with the stadium site...)

    When I was traveling through the States, once the locals hear you are from Tasmania they invariably want to talk about the Devil. I would tell them you had to pay an separate insurance premium to cover your home against a Tassie Devil spinning through it Taz style.  It was believed around 90% of the time, so this comes as no surprise.

    I think the gernsey is something will tinker with over time naturally.

    Not really a big deal.

    You guys do realise the Guernsey with the state and T in the middle is not the home & away Guernsey don't you? 

    This is a heritage one they'll wear a couple of times a year....the home & away kits are yet to be revealed. 

    No one seems to know this

    Afl article states its their inaugural jumper they'll be playing in and makes no reference to it being a heritage only jumper.

    Was this clarified elsewhere?

    No trips to Geelong for 10 years a fair swap?

    On the guernsey, the Map is almost sacred to us in Tasmania. I don't expect it to be worn much from 2028 but it meant a lot that it is the founding guernsey. Non Tasmanians won't quite understand the significance.

    What's with the logo?  I've never seen a Tasmania Devil with green hair.

    next you'll complain that they didn't put a facial tumour on the image.

    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   

    Clash jumpers - more marketing for the AFL.

    Exactly - and of course who gets the bye round 1 (after 0) and in the last round?   Compromised beyond belief.

    I thought the same thing, looked at the NBL store for one team. It's crazy how many different tops they have!

    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.

    I heard that they had over 25k signed up at $10 each.  Its a sneaky way to get GF tickets, My mate who is a life long tigers supporter in WA, signed up with the giants and got his tigers v GWS grand final ticket through the GWS application as he missed out as. tiger member.   Might be an option considering how fast they want the team to succeed.

    The eagles were essentially a state team when they joined, it was also implied in their originally version of the song.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
