Hall of Famer
The University of Tasmania has been around since 1890 and has over 40,000 students. Hobart is a pretty vibrant little place and offers an amazing lifestyle.
40,000...
How many of them regularly attend campus in Hobart?

Well what’s the point then?
Not that this has anything to do with footy. I did attend the place sometime last century, that & the Uni bar! Great spot that was, especially Friday arvo.
The figure of 40k did surprise me. UTas website says 38k, even so
Apparently about 10k bodies in Hobart & 5k in L'ton.
Some in Burnie & in Sydney. I'd think the rest online?
Anyway, back to the footy, maybe.
I guess people get a little bit impatient when they are made told to wait two years to get an answer for something how strange1 year delay on a decision due to the uncertainty caused by a pandemic is 'killing AFL in Tassie'.
Imagine the reaction if/when he says no!

S. Burgoyne would have been handy in the Prelim.Port haven't lost a required player since Nick Stevens in 2003. You clearly have NFI what you are talking about.

Thanks, that's a lot close to what I would have thought.
The supposed 'relevance' of the poster I was responding to was along the lines of Hobart having a great nightlift, and using 40K UTas students as a demonstration of this.
and you know me...I see conclusions supported by 'facts' that don't actually support the conclusion claimed, and I question it...
Name 1 major city less popular than spending winter in Tasmania as a young man.
Go on genius.
Nup, AFL will play Tasmania for decades to suit their own needs. That is what has been happening.
That strategy could every well backfire on them but if it works and they get their own team good luck to them
Really a pretty low brow post.
The strategy is simple.
Cut the crap Gil. Here's our proposal, address it in the professional manner in which it was sent, 12 months ago.
If its no, show some guts you weak gutless ponce & say so now.
Losing AFL footy here caused no state wide disaster in 2020.
It'll cause more heart burn at Hawthorn & especially North, than anything else.
I don't think we'll see the end of AFL footy here whatever happens. But I bet North will be given the boot, Hawthorn I think may survive but with pressure on the quality of games, maybe a rotation of other clubs like St Kilda as mentioned.
NRL's been mentioned here, so maybe Melbourne Storm for a game.
So I think they could look at broadening the net for Winter attractions. My bet being an extension of MONA winter festivals to cover the North of the state better.
MONA's winter festivals proven a massive boon to tourism, with a different set of people.
I think we've effectively outgrown FIFO as its been presented.
So maybe less/no footy? More rotation of teams? Contracts more based on public appeal & attendance.
Anything's possible now Gil's shown his arrogance to a Premier who is happy to take the AFL to task.
Uh huh.
An all or nothing strategy when nothing means the poorest state in the country loses a major economic stimulus.
At a time when the charity they've been living off from the mainland is likely to dry up.
But hey, you've got a slim chance of getting what you want, so why not go all out!
Lived in Melbourne for two years and moved back in January last year. Lifestyle quality is so much better in Tasmania. Spent 850k, got a 4 bedroom house 10 minute walk from the city centre with city and mountain skyline views, absolute bliss. In Melbourne I'd be lucky to get a small townhouse in Footscray for that.
All I miss from Melbourne was the food from a wide variety of cultures and live footy.
what happens if Gil does turn around and says Tasmania get it’s team in 2030. Will Peter Gutwein be happy with that or is it 2025 or bust with himReally a pretty low brow post.

Sweet personal anecdote, just a shame the fact's disagree with you and agree with me.
Young people, in general, do not want to live or visit Tasmania, everyone knows this and yet you people keep fighting it?
On the stimulus point, it's clearly not giving 'bang for buck's for the Tassie Government. If the Hawks and North played Melbourne teams (yes, I know Richmond played here but the was definitely not the norm) here the you would expect maybe a 1000 or so opposition fans coming down for a holiday. Usually though it's Freo/WC/GC etc that come down to play, so no influx of tourists with those teams. The lustre of the FIFO teams is gone and the premier wants to take the relationship to the next level. What's obvious is that the AFL 'just isn't that in to Tasmania'. Just like a girl whose happy to get some attention when she's lonely and act a little flirty, however 'she's not interested in a relationship right now'.Uh huh.

I think he'd be happy with that. There's a time line and a commitment.what happens if Gil does turn around and says Tasmania get it’s team in 2030. Will Peter Gutwein be happy with that or is it 2025 or bust with him
