Problem with that is AFL ideally want 2 teams in more populous States .

The odd thing is.... youre kinda right. Tis a bit Hatfields and McCoys isnt it. Not sure theres the money , or even the ability for the two to survive, but most certainly the division of passion. It would/ will irk some in northern Tassie to support a team that may come tobe seen as that "Hobart" mob.

Which in turn was named after the mythical devil lol ( edit : just saw your post 31 ... ;) )

🤔🤔You'd have to think so ..... 🤣🤣

I think it's entirely possible that a team(s) could exist ( or be brought in ) purely to protect the back door. I.e.. to thwart the NRL. Many forget the AFL is a business... it has competition. Always reminds me of supermarkets. Sometimes one opens purely to stop the other

Divide and Conquer 😉

AI is VERY scary. Some idiots think AI can be 'contained' Muwahahaha

Its an idea. Not one i favour. I can see the attraction of it. Just dont see it as overly workable. Yes the NT loves footy... i get all that. Are we looking to do this as some sort of social equaliser...or because its truly workable. I cant see the weather being agreeably participant. It's ok... just me.

Are you familiar with Rorshach ???

In keeping with our 'kind' ....perhaps we should carry flaming tridents ??

Tell me how it's really changed.in the last 30 years ? Good forwards always corralled the ball. Good forwards always tried to keep it forward. The delivery of good teams has always been GOOD. You really going to try to argue we have a good system ?? Fair enough. We differ I think in the main we're [censored] at it. We rely on fwd pressure.. thats not clever.

To offer a different view...( i know ...lol ) Harking back ...many decades... i played in the fwd line... not the arc...as none then...lol... but the essence of forward craft hasn't really changed... really..it hasnt... For mine...its about delivery....always... Just dont bomb it in... smart teams arrange for the ball to GET to the fwds... dumb teams bomb and createa lotto event. We have sufficient players to kick goals... i wish theyd worry more about the style/method of delivery. It wont then require this weekly cringe of... who.

Get off the casks.. 🤔🤔🤔🤔 How's the Malibu partying going ? Asking for a friend ( yes i have one... )

No

Think you'll find one is the cause of the other. Not mutually independent. Same for Tommy Occam's Razor

You lost me at Kane Cornes Probably lost most ppl. Though Kozzie says Hi

So Gill the Dill is superceded by Andrew the Dill.. Game in good hands.... Boyz club... bunch of Dills

He can't usurp concussion rules 🥴

Perhaps not ... Concussion ptotocols ??

A very VERY important cog in our machine... VERY !!

I think Goody might look to give Shack back to back games. Didn't set the world on fire but did do some nice work. Perhaps he did his 'role' well.. 🤷🤷 Petty is a backman ( only ) imho. I don't pickem ....so i guess we'll see. Continuity can be a Good thing.

No change

The idea that Roo is the new linch pin is either extreme wishful thinking....or a tad incredulous. He's just starting out.

The "blue" being .....poignant.... 🙄🙄🙄

Im going to have to assume footwear... Can't be too sure in this thread ...with some posters ...
