Not like everyone in Tas will support 'their' team either. Lets face it, they're traditionally fractured and every attempt at state football there (league, team, etc) has been ripped apart by such dissent. Are we supposed to believe they'll miraculously change that if give an AFL team?
You just have no idea.
The first state league was torn up by AFLTas because it was poorly run & was going broke, they wanted a VFL team. They F&*kt up the Devils by amalgamating with NorthMelbourne, so they started the 2nd state league. With all its problems, a north v south argument/division has never been the problem. The problem is travel & public support for the hated AFLTas. AFLTas, a fully employed & controlled regional office of the AFL.
The footy Division down here has been over getting AFL footy.
We have two stadiums with different FIFO clubs.
Despite your ignorant imagination, an AFL club would use both grounds for best effect.
If you want to know something about footy here in Tassie, just ask me.
But dont just make it up.
