    i still maintain there is zero $$ value in a tasmanian team coming in as the 19th team - adds nothing to the media rights coffers, which is what funds the game at the end of the day

    it's definitely got a feed good factor, but tasmania's population hovers around that 500,000 mark - it's dwarfed by the gw$ or gc17 catchment areas for population growth, let alone the value of having two extra teams up north in terms of media rights value

    i loathe those franchises, but it was the 'correct' move to bring them in; tasmania is just pandering to already converted footy fans

    i'm more curious about when they'll bring the 20th team in - i am assuming it'll be a third team based in perth

    Wouldn't it make more sense to have a Canberra based team? In that scenario that team should be able to have similar catchment areas as GWS (playing some games in Western Sydney).

    I’m trying to avoid voting based on traditional rivalries…I experienced the birth of one in the late 50’s/early 60’s (can you guess what it might have been? 😉).

    I’ve gone for Brisbane, who I’ve had a hatred for over the past few years, and which has grown deeper in more recent times, all at the hands/mouth of mostly one individual… Dane Zorko!!!

    I’m actually a little surprised that at the time of submitting my vote, I was the only one to select them.

    The QF memory is still fresh! 😡😡

    I’m sure the question has been asked…put some cameras on the point posts ffs

    It is deliberate at this point, the AFL gives FA about the integrity of the sport. Honestly you can buy decent small cameras for a couple hundred bucks.

    wow for a medium fwd Fritsch is terrific. If he didn’t get injured last year he could top that list!

    Yes, he is in elite company on this list.

    3 bonafide Key Forwards and probably the best small forward.

    Top gun Fritta! 🔥🔥

    So are they getting two years of compromised drafts? Where do we see our list during those 2 years being 2026 & 2027? 

    Luckily we have most of our key players penciled in for the long term. We just need to be smart/cautious with our young guns like Kozzy, JVR, Rivers et al.

    Methinks I’m the only DL-er here(?)

    Anyways, the boys just came out on the ground. The mood is absolutely awesome! Everyone is smiling and everyone has a distinct spring in their step. L

    They’re all doing the stretchy band thing right now. Tmac and BBB and Jibba are separately doing different stretchy band exercises with a trainer. I told BBB and Tmac how immensely proud we all are with their performances on Sunday. Big smiles all round.

    Then I hear a familiar voice calling out “Oi” Turned around and it was Clarrie. I said “Oh my god Clarrie! You killed it on Sunday, that was sooo good!” He said, “it was, wasn’t it? It was sweeeeet!” Then he says, “how’ve you been anyway?” 😳 I didn’t even answer him. I just gave a thumbs up coz WHO THE HELL CARES HOW I AM?! 😅

    Bowser was doing lotsa leg exercises and now he’s kinda playing kick to kick with two trainers.

    The only player I can’t see is Knuckles. Doesn’t mean he’s not here, could just mean I need to go to Specsavers.

    i just heard Jack, one of the trainers, telling Bowser who was on his way back to the rooms: when you get back, you can join the boys, the main group. I pounced on the opportunity to ask Jack how Bowser is tracking. He said, “really good. A week post-surgery and he’s coming along great.”

    it’s a big ol’ happy fest here!

    How good to hear Clarry looks happy again. Hopefully he can keep killing it out of the field too!

    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.

    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.

    Salem good, not great. Sparrow was very good v Carlton a couple of weeks back, and having Petracca, Viney and Clarry performing, gives him some time, needs to lift though.

    JVR competed in the ruck even though undersized. So much more competitive  than Schache.

    That kid loves a physical contest, great to see!

    He kicked a bag against us, was it last year or '22, including the sealer

    He'd be a good addition to our list if we could land him.

    JVR and JUH together... mmmmm...

    🤤🤤🤤🤤

    I’m as loud and one eyed at the footy as any Pies fan, and there are certainly some Demons fans who could afford to be louder and more demonstrative when the whips are cracking 

    But this narrative from Roffey and Pert that we need to be louder - even if it’s not their intention - is a bit of a kick in the guts to Demons fans who are paying their hard earned to rock up each week 

    At the end of the day people can support the club however they choose. Further - without wanting to put down our players - it’s hard to get loud when we’ve kicked 6 straight behinds and then the opposition waltzes down the other end of the field and kicks a goal to knock us out of finals…

    Win finals and our membership will grow, play exciting football and fans will cheer louder than ever 

    Simples!

    As a rule, we (cheer squad) don’t boo opposition players. It’s beneath us. At the back of our bay fans might boo, but definitely up the front, we don’t. BUT… something tells me an exception will be made come the KB match.

    We’re widely regarded by the AFL and other cheer squads as a disciplined, respectful cheer squad, but we are also human. Nuff sed. 

    Can't wait for KB, that's the only time I will watch Collingwood. Except if we play them again during the finals.

    I think Kate Roffey's comments are fair. Hate the pies but you can't deny their supporters are very vocal and get right behind their team on gameday.

    Can't say you want to be like them after what happened to Angus, just don't mention that club!
