News NMFC & Tassie (the mass debate re our future there, the academy, attending advice)

Just so people don't think I'm lying etc.

Letter today.

 

[ChoppyGun]

As for % I'd say 80 but on a lower deal.

Less games and money

the big lebowski it would appear we are pushing hard.

As also Tas in reverse to AFL.

It will end up in between I reckon.

Gut feeling of non renewal? Less games per year?

Sorry I don’t understand. North are pushing hard for a deal? But tassie are......?

Good question.

I thought done and gone (and posted as such. BoomerRoo said different)

But no there's much more daylight than I thought tbh.

Sorry I confused you mate.

Yes apparently both us and Hawks want to continue.

Tas however aren't without AFL stepping up big time financially.

Haha.........good point mate.

But you're a good bloke, many aren't.

Look at Ziebull thread kangatime as was lectured by some poster I didn't know even existed. (and got likes by usual squad)

 

[BoomerRoo]

I think Gil blinked....

Good luck, but it takes more than a "business case" and "deserving" to get a team. Good on Gutwein on getting the review timeline moved up though.

 

[Colbys Boots]

AFL should demand a $20 million licence fee.

 

[ChoppyGun]

AFL should demand a $20 million licence fee.

Why?

May I ask why you (or anyone) could possibly be against Tasmania having a team?

Whether it's viable or not is a different matter entirely but why the hate on the idea?

AFL licences are worth money: https://www.afl.com.au/news/99008/sa-clubs-buy-licences-from-sanfl-for-more-than-18m

West Coast paid $4m for their licence and that was 35 years ago. $20million is probably pretty cheap.

 

[Long Live the King]

Independent consultant.....which translates to the AFL will put a team in Tassie when they are good and ready.......

It may be and that's fair enough.

But why do people want Tassie to fail in their bid and backing AFL (a disgrace) instead?

I don't get it.

That may only be in regard to the arrogance of the Premier and his recent comments, essentially putting a gun to the head of the AFL.

I don't know how TAS would go as an AFL team, likely lack support like Bendigo did in the VFL due to being a made up club. So the next question is, do you have a club team elevated or have a state team?

BTW this is the NMFC TAS THREAD.

 

[shinboner magic]

A review that ends up going around in circles.
Gurkin probably begged Gil to announce something , so he doesn’t look like a dill

You must've been on Zoom, because, yeah that's how it went exactly

I'm more interested in your current blossoming friendship with Mick Taylor.

I have absolutely no idea what that means?!

I don't moderate the place mate and all Tassie discussion I've been told to put in here previously as was getting messy.

Arrogance of the Premier? Are you kidding?

The AFL is the most arrogant business that ever existed. Finally taking a firm stand is not arrogance, it should be applauded.

 

[Go_Roos!]

Please keep shoveling the taxpayers (borrowed) money to us Premier Gurkin, your Health System and Education System are both going beautifully, they don't need it!

A significant licence fee might be a good idea - particularly if that licence fee is then immediately gifted to the team itself as a seed fund. This would be much better than the most recent approach where the 2 new "teams" (ie. AFL run sides) basically are a constant monetary drain on the competition as a whole. It forces the proposed team to have significant and real upfront independent funding.

Not sure he should be judged until everything is said and done, and we know the result. If he gets the AFL to set a date for a Tasmanian team coming in then much kudos are deserved. If off the back of an independent review the league finds that they're worse off with a Tasmanian team and shuts down the idea for a decade, then I'm not sure how great of an endeavour the whole thing was for him, especially if he then doubles down on shitcanning league funding in the state. Fair bit of grey area in between those two scenarios of course, but you get the point.
