I can't believe anyone enjoyed any of your posts, ever. You should take that message as a positive.

Patently unfair to suggest this.

The JB "white pants" saga was a COVID-19 highlight.

Even his burner accounts have offered great entertainment value.

It's true, the info that someone used to like you does become a comfort as you get older.

I was widely loved, pre-Covid. My popularity (and sanity) was one of the hidden victims of the pandemic.

F*** you, Dan.

The jumper sucks but does serve as a good memory jogger for those of us that may forget to include Tassie on our mental map of Australia

 

[sr36]

I might be expecting too much of Tasmanians, but their foundational guernsey is undeniably shitful and could do with some flammable liquid and a lighter.

A yellow map of Tassie with a helpful red 'T' in the middle. Wonderful. It looks like a low-rent superhero outfit combined with a geography lesson to remind the genetically compromised populace of where they are.

After years of pitching their case to the AFL, it seems the best they can come up with is a design fit for a novelty State of Origin game being played on some forsaken bog in Davenport in the 1950s.

Heads should roll. Two at a time, of course.

Tasmania's AFL and AFLW club name, logo, colours revealed

The path for Tasmania's entry into the AFL in 2028 still has many obstacles to overcome. But it's reached a key moment — the official club launch — with nods to the past, present and future.

I think you're being harsh. I'm partial to a prominent map of Tassie.

Tassie already has more members than GWS and Gold Coast combined

Even if only a quarter of them stay on and sign up as season ticket members when they actually start playing games, that's a pretty fair effort.

What ever happened to the map of tassie.

Brazil made a play for it....

Ahhh, the Brazilian trio of backo, cracko and sacko.

I think this is just their heritage jumper. They will have other variations according to what was said on sen this morning.

Reiwoldt said as much last night on AFL360.

Still looks crap

The suggestion that the new jumper is just a 'heritage' or foundation design might well be true, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

If you're launching your brand, why would you sell it with something so pitiful?

Even if you agree with the concept of a 'foundational' design, why does it have to be so awful, something that they're immediately looking to move on from?

The idea of a brand new team having a “heritage” jumper is ridiculous in itself, made even moreso by the consensus that they’re not even going to play in it.

Fair enough really. Could easily have been called a map of Brazil. Don't know why they wanted to erase it rather than just rename it though.

Well earliest would be 2017 I reckon

Worry is about them Targeting someone like Nick Daicos and Offering Him something like what Garry Ablett JR got to play for Suns

absolutely they will come after Nick, they would be negligent not to.

 

[TradeDraft]

His Contracted to 2029 so IF he did leave they have to Pay Up for him

Looks like JUH is about to re-sign with Doggies

 

[danielnajdek]

Does WB have a cap or are they the new Carlton.

 

[Jafo]

I'm starting to think of these Doggies kpp's as a bit vanilla, not risk takers, too safe. Why tf would you choose to stay at the Doggies when there are so many better options?

Sometimes loyalty does exist I guess. I’m sure we would want him to stay if he was one of ours vs going for $.

DeGoey our latest one to stay?

See how N.Daicos goes when Tassie (or any other club) comes knocking.

I think I might be the only one that doesn't think Nick will be lured by big offers from rival clubs. He has marketing potential from multiple sources and will be handsomely renumverated at the Pies. Being a one-club multi-premiership winning player will have more marketing and post-competition opportunity. He is one that won't need to chase a big offer during his playing days.
And, unlike emerging markets like Western Sudney and Gold Coast (back in the day) the Tassie market is an established AFL market and doesn't need a big name to penetrate. I suspect - perhaps naively - that Tassie will prefer a focus on accummulating young talent and not looking for a marquee player. The AFL don't have to 'win over' this demographic with gimmicks with the likes of an Israel Fallou or a Carmichael Hunt.

Yes they have a cap. They’re capped at 100 key position players taken in the top ten, or fewer.

Nope - there's no chance Naicos would leave.
It's every other player on the list I'd be worried about.
