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.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
