You attack me. I bite back and I have the problem. Didn't come on this site to make friends I have enough of those. So I don't see that as a problem. Rhino posts a team, but dose not want any criticism of it. You can call me buddy but I can't return the favor. All a bit precious.

Passion should be the reason you have a team. I can't think of any other reason why there are still 10 teams in Victoria if not for the afl being scared of the passionate supporters. I will give you the cricket team even thought they are a summer sport. The hockey no so much. I went to an AHL...

Again, stop making things up. You may need to stick to stats. Words don't seem to be your strong suit. Try playing the ball, and not the man. Makes for a better read. Humor me and ad in a stat or two about how many teams started their 2nd ruckman on the bench. This thread was a half decent...

Who said we don't need two ruckmen. Do you just make stuff up so you can post. What was said was you need all of you bench space for your mids rotation. There is not room on the bench for a second ruckman. They need to be able to play in the forward line. If jesse can't do that then leave him...

Thanks for that. I am very aware of the milwakee connection and the shared history. It still dose not dilute the argument. They have 90,000 members and another 90,000 on wait lists. The majority are from green bay. If you ever get to go there you will see the town lives for the one team. The...

Playing the man again. Have trouble with criticism do we. My comment about the second ruckman was named on the bench. We started our second ruckman on the field all year as did all the other sides. The high rate of midfield rotations dose not allow for ruckmen to spend much time on the bench...

You named a resting ruckman on the bench, something which every club in the afl has gone away from. And when someone points it out you get you back up and attack people. As for no one is out of position.... Adam in the centre? PS not your buddy.

Thankfully the selectors understand. If your going to name a team in positions then don't justify it by swapping people around. Why not name Teddy at FF and Walsh at FB then.

Have to agree that you have been shafted time and again by the AFL. However, can't agree with the less about money and more about exposure. North have been their own worst enemy over the last decade. Canberra, Sydney, gold coast and now Hobart and Ballarat. when the Hawks went to Tassie they...

Obviously you need a 2nd ruck but they need to start on the ground. You need all the space on the bench for the mids rotation.

One more mid on the bench. The days of a resting ruckman on the bench has gone. The mummy may get a few minutes but that is it. If you can't find a place for jessie up forward then he is not your man.

Someone should start a new thread on which Melbourne team should get the chop so that Tassie can get a team. And not a relocation of one of the busted useless Melbourne sides either.

Shaw came 2nd in our BF and he can't get a start ahead of Malceski who wasn't in the 22 v hawks. And only one mid on the bench

Well said.

Where do you get your numbers from, do you just make this stuff up. 20,000 in York park returns over $400k. North made $95k from all it's games at etihad for a full year. A tasmanian team would be ahead of half the Melbourne teams on current stadium deals by millions not thousands. And the...

Why 5 That is just such a patronizing response. And why on earth would they need to play games interstate. Victorian teams play interstate because the can't make any money at home. North is the obvious example who need 29,000 to break even at etihad. They made just $95k this year from all...

Tasmania should be looked at differently. It only takes 2 hours to go across the state. I keep saying that population should not be the only criteria. If you want to quote just city numbers then lets look at those. The cats are in trouble. Hobart is 30% bigger than Geelong. The most...

As I said there is more to this than base numbers. They currently do not play in Hobart. They play in Launceston, more central and politically correct. If you want to do this on population then we had better ship a team or two over to Perth. Population 1.6m and the fastest growth rate in...

A Tasmanian team is simply not going to be as profitable as an expansion team, so until all the expansion areas are filled, AFL aren't going to spend any appreciable amount of money on one. No argument here. Your logic is sound. However this thread was set up on the argument that two...

You learn nothing. NSW is nothing like Victoria it is a rugby league state. You started a thread about something you know-nothing about, thinking rivalry in Tasmanian footy would be great. WRONG That the population in tassie is reducing WRONG. That the answer is to take away the only team...

510,000 people and 1 team v 4,000,000 and 10 teams. You do the maths

There are two points here that are just wrong. Firstly for a club it is not the size of the crowd, but the return that they receive. Tasmanian returns are far better than most. Secondly the ABS latest data shows tasmanias population at 510,160. Melbournes is just under 4,000,000. And you are...

You simply have no understanding of Afl finances. At etihad you need 29k supporters to break-even. Because the govt own the ground in launceston they make over 400k on a 20k crowd. The kangaroos made 95k last year total out of all their games at etihad. So in simple terms a tassie team is 4...

The NEAFL is about the same as SANFL 2nds. And he played at CHB because he wasn't good enough to play at CHF. I heard your coach say on TWR that he would be a 3rd tall defender. I was glad to hear that because he is much more suited to that. He didn't work hard enough to get to contests as a...

Have loved reading this thread and all the expectations of the crows and swans fans. The reality is having watched Johnston play CHB in the NEAFL all season he would not be in the crows best 22. Not even close, you are better than that. So the crows traded him for Armstrong and 35 (lynch)...

maybe what should happen now is someone start a " I hate SS25 thread" and a "I hate racist supporters" and a "I hate moron know it all posters". No wait they are all the same thread

Isn't the point being missed here by SF25. Sydney gave picks 35 and 68 for Walsh. Probably a close to fair trade for a guy who hasn't played first grade. If Walsh had stayed at the saints and been paid what he deserves the the saints would have an even bigger problem right now with the salary...
