Personally I would be more than happy to play an away there if someone else wants to sacrifice a home. The AFL on the other hand don’t want to sacrifice the gate and the MCG deal makes it a bit difficult as well. We are pretty much locked onto the MCG as a result of the deal for the MCC to give up the prelim.fat wombat said:

He'd be so generous. I'm sure he'd offer to play all FOUR of Collingwoods travelling games there - for the good of Tasmania of course - then get stuck into the interstate teams for being so greedy and not wantng to give up their HOME games
Hawthorn should lobby to get both games against Fremantle there. What is more important 8 points or cash?bresker said:

Trust me - the fact that we wouldn't have to travel to Tassie FAR OUTWEIGHS the insult that Tasmanians don't want to watch our team play. Do you think we'd even care about that?

thats got nothing to do with the thread topic - which you will find in the title. This topic is about fremantle are not welcome in a STATE of australia because their residents dont like watching them. Its one of the biggest insults you could ever have as a club.kidstyler said:

Wow isnt it amazing that tasmania wants to be picky now. Never knew many people gave a rats arse about them. how about the dockers and everyelse apart from the saints and hawks boycott the place. heck, you couldnt even get the siren right so why be so picky?

I forgot about the crowd of 40000 you got playing in the ACT. Wasn't that a smaller crowd than the Tassie games that Freo played?
Like WGAF??? If we don't have to travel to Launceston, that's a brilliant win for our club.

I find it an insult that Tassies substandard footy ground has caused possibly the biggest controversy this year in football (Gardiner & Cousins aside) yet the premier still see's fit to make demands, while insulting one of the few clubs club that will actually play there and support them.
Oh the arrogance - and this coming from a West Coast supporter!

You're the pointing out that low attendances at away games played at a ground half a world away somehow reflects badly upon Freo as club. Kidstyler is more than justified in bringing up Gardiner as a bad reflection on the Eagles as a comeback. Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house. Especially if you throw like a girl.gdmclean said:

send two victorian teams down there isntead of always making the crows, freo, westcoast or port playing down there! I never see precious collingwood or essendon play down there.
Most Tasmanian football supporters travel to melbourne when they want to watch their AFL teams play...sending us boring teams like the Hawks and Freo over and over is just not on ...would rather have no AFL here than dull sides .Hawkk said:

I suppose you have never been to Tassie???
If so, maybe you check it out before calling Aurora Stadium sub standard because I reckon it is a great faciliy.
i'm failing to see the negatives?

I wasn't trolling, merely reporting a news story with a little added jibe on the end of it.
I was tearing my hair out watching the Dockers play the Dogs this year and I don't even support them. It was my least enjoyable day at the footy this season
even though we won. I sympathize with the cousin rooters.

Anyone who even dares to think of taking one of the Swans Melbourne away games away from Victoria will have at least 8000 red & white Victorians declaring instant war on you.
Personally I'll love a match in Tassie, as I have never been there. And because the footy is as good an excuse as any to go to a place and travel around.
But I can understand that our Melbourne members have fought hard for 6 Swans games down there. Also considering that the Swans usually draw up to 15000 match-day supporters to matches in Victoria these days, it makes better financial sense to keep away matches against the Swans in Melbourne.
