And both SA teams are flying at the same time.

Yeah and even both QLD and NSW teams are going better.

08 Freo and West Coast were bottom 3 (with Melbourne)

aim higher... hint... the guy is in huge strife... not just in terms of his club but the gov has had their sights on him for a while

He siphoning money to Ukraine??

more government money meant for grass roots footy ending up lining the coffers at WCE

It seems odd they do this when those grants are usually a couple hundred grand at most and the eagles supposedly have like $40m in the bank in cold hard cash?

Not looking forward to playing the Crows

Funding a falafel truck in Rokeby Street….

 

[Dard Ball Get]

I’m in heaven

Actually, I’m in Launceston which is an absolute shithole but anyway.

 

[denisp]

I tell you what.
The fact that wasn't a free kick was a disgrace

Who cares

Hard to see the AFL admitting a level of fault with umpiring if it was us or North rather than big boy Collingwood.

I don’t care which team causes the AFL to admit it tbh, as long as they finally acknowledge their terrible umpiring. Been disastrous for the last three seasons.

Theyve done it before, the key it seems is to admit one decision was wrong rather than accept the standard has dropped. I think we all accept the odd howler of a decision, its a hard sport to umpire.



This guy literally reviews the umpiring in every game and whilst i dont always agree with every single decision or review i would have to admit hes pretty good and usually reviews from a technical and laws of the game viewpoint (whereas i generally go common sense).

His last few weeks hes noted that the games have been officiated really poorly, with only a handful of games even listed as acceptable.

Tassie officially granted a licensed today, over the moon. Only thing that would top this day for me is a Saints flag. If we can Jag one before 2027 when I'll be conflicted, I can die a happy man.

Priority access to sons of Tassie guns on the table as club presidents give Apple Isle team the green light

The new Tasmanian club will have priority access to the sons of any ex-Tasmanian under plans for building the list of the AFL’s newest side after all 18 clubs agreed to the entry of a 19th team.

Green lights everywhere...

Pretty happy.

 

[marcus1232]

Good day for all.
Hope it works out

 

[George]

Always thought if Tassie get a team then they'll be my 2nd favourite. We have a rich Tasmanian history at the Saints.

Very happy to see them have their own side.

Thoughts on name?

Tassie Tugboats?


ps. I’d recommend choosing a successful second team. Having a second shite team is not much chop

 

[phantom13]

I caught the ass end of it on the news last night but they cant be the Tassie Devils because warner brothers has that under license?

I was lucky enough to get a trip down to play the Devils VFL side in my glory days. Would be great to have them back under that name IMO.

Correct, Robbo’s thoughts on the whole thing are hilarious

The cherry on this insanity is that he actually says "Tasmianian Tigers" in the middle of the rambling slurred spiel.

Kinda doubt theyll be going with that either you moron.

 

[chris_h_11]

Wouldn't surprise me if the screw this up with some marketing department focus group BS....I saw "Southern Strength" on the socials yesterday

Devils but apparently the Nerdling last night said Warner Bros own the name.

Anything other than Devils would be a shame tbh.

There it is. He's cooked isn't he.

That sounds great.

Tassie Team. Nice ring to it.
