Certainly has the credentials - a proud Tassie boy. Jack Reiwoldt has surprised me in his role. Tassie is in good hands.

    I'm happy for Tasmania to have a team but I am very worried about their ability to be able to retain talent.
    Tasmania has the highest amount of young men leaving their state out of any state in Australia, so much so that it's causing there to be a disproportionate amount of older generations. 

    As a young man, I would move anywhere in the country to play afl but I wouldn't move to Tassie.

    I this has disaster written all over it, but I really hope I'm wrong as Tassie deserve a team and are a footballing state.

    The exodus of younger men from Tasmania is in large part due to immigrants having served their time in a regional area. I catch Ubers rather than DIY and various Nepali/Indian/Pakistanis tell me of their travails.

    Have you ever been to Tassie?

    Each to their own and I guess like any club they will need good recruiters but I would have no issue with moving to Tasmania to play AFL. The lifestyle down there would suit me more than most places.

    As mentioned previously, I'm the proud uncle of an AFLW captain who was part of the CBA negotiations.

    They said there will be no problem attracting mid-career players looking to get further playing opportunities to Tasmania.

    The attraction of a short drive to training compared to what players in Melbourne have to endure a factor as is the cheaper real estate. Geelong make the most of both these to attract and retain players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
