North and Hawthorn will need to find some new sponsors. Can't see anyone supporting them when they have their own team to follow.

All I can say is it’s interesting timing with the Tassie team coming.

I think it's great, but I'm not clear why a new stadium had to be built. Surely they could have upgraded Bellrieve Oval for 10% of the cost of the new stadium?

Something to do with Cricket Australia? By the way, they’re not contributing any $ to the new stadium but are demanding they have a say in how it’s built and it be suitable for cricket.

Great news! Looking forward to watching a Pies game down there and tying it in to a nice week around the Island

No roof, as is rumoured, means it could host Test Cricket which (at present) can't be played under a roof.

I support a team in Tasmania but I don't support a competition larger than 18 teams.
In reality for a national competition there are to many teams based in the one city and a Victorian club or two unable to survive without AFL equalization payments should have been forced to relocate or merge long before now.
Easy to say I guess when you support one of the powerful Victorian clubs but we're a club also who has only won 2 flags in 63 years.
That's what I care about most as a Collingwood member and I just don't see how diluting the talent pool even further, restricting our access to the best junior talent as part of draft concessions or having another team standing in our way aids us in our goal for flags 16, 17 and 18.

We’re not American. If they don’t go the obvious Devils, then maybe something to do with the map of Tassie wink wink
