I have said this before. You got 500,000 people living in Tassie. 250,000 each in Launceston and Hobart.

Had Hobart had 400,000 people living there, then it could be financially viable

You haven't read the business case, have you.

 

[Freomaniac]

You haven't read the business case, have you.

No I haven't you gonna read it out to me?

 

[Verdun]

No I haven't you gonna read it out to me?

Lazy!!

If Geelong region and city can have a team, so can Tasmania.

 

[The_Wookie]

If Geelong region and city can have a team, so can Tasmania.

geelong has a city of nearly 5 million people 40 minutes down the highway.

 

[Verdun]

Yep -'down the highway'.

Are you saying that they are the ones who sustain Geelong?

 

[Tasmanian saint]

geelong has a city of nearly 5 million people 40 minutes down the highway.

A city of 5 million that also has 9 clubs base

geelong has a city of nearly 5 million people 40 minutes down the highway.

tassie sucks

 

[footyfan1978]

geelong has a city of nearly 5 million people 40 minutes down the highway.

Of which 9 others clubs dominate the fan distribution.
It is not 40 minutes down the highway either.

He does not live here.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

geelong has a city of nearly 5 million people 40 minutes down the highway.

And plays home games in said city.

 

[Verdun]

And plays home games in said city.

Are you saying they are subsidised?

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Are you saying they are subsidised?

No

im saying geelong doesnt exist in isolation to Melbourne.

 

[The_Wookie]

He does not live here.

No but I did for 12 years before I came here. Went to high school in Hoppers Crossing and lived in St Albans before i came over to Adelaide. Might be understating the 40minute drive, but its not that far.

I also lived spent 9 months in Tasmania last year...its 2 and half hours between Hobart and Launceston. If the damn road works are done. The distance argument would also work if we put an AFL team in Ballarat.

You certainly are. Went to the Geelong v Carlton game last two years. Lot longer than 40 minutes. Would lose my licence if I could do that.... ha ha

Reckon their sustainability is more to do with taking all the $'s from their home games at Kardinia.

Yep those road works have been a pain but the road has improved.....no doubt it would be used a lot if there were home games at both Launceston and Hobart. A team would unite the state.

The points posters are making on Tas having a team in the AFL are now becoming quite obscure.

I think my point in this instance is that using geelong as a comparison isnt really apropriate

You don't think Geelong should benefit from home Melbourne games / you think a Tasmanian team should be able to do so as well?

 

[The_Wookie]

Im not even sure where youve pulled either of these from

Ignore the guy just rehashes the same things over and over again adds nothing new acts like an expert on every thing to do with Tasmania but its pretty obvious he has very little knowledge of the place makes ill informed posts!

 

[Kwality]

Hence it needed someone with a commercial brain to get it going. I hope LK does well with it all. Thats because we will too.

Embarass all of them ..
