new AFL expansion?

and
Basically Tassie now has nothing bar its Cricket Teams and there is no way there is even 30% of the annual money around to prop up an AFL Team given our population base and the ridiculous ease with which we slip into our parochial brawls whenever any opportunity is presented.

If you saw the crap that went on when the Kangaroos first suggested playing a couple of games in Hobart you would see what I mean. It was pathetic and sad.

The North/South divide has undoubtedly inhibited Tassie's ambition of its own full-time team. If, by some miracle, the overwhelming economic obstacles could somehow be overcome the working out the basic logistics(home ground? n/s game split?) would be enough to provoke a civil war.

Tend to agree. At times I find this place the best place to live and at other times the most frustrating of all. SInce the Greens shut us down for business it has become progressively worse. I do not mind their social policies but they have killed the economy.

And most are from 'the mainland'.
