Bull shit artist McLachlan is responding to the blanket media coverage given to league via the Dolphins, great games, great crowds, great tv ratings and big announcements (including potential massive fed government investment) made by V’landys this week.
It’s typical fumble ball paranoia and fear. V’landys hit them where it hurts with multiple expansion options and player recruitment options poor old Gil could only dream of.
At the moment he is making multiple visits to dear old Hobart trying to convince us to spend 100s of millions of dollars on a stadium we don’t need. V’landys is rubbing it in his face.

This is after the AFL turned in nearly a billion in revenue last year? Yes Im sure he is afraid. He was at his damn season launch, he didnt mention any other code once.

The very next day theres NRL folks in the media talking about catching up to the AFL. Where are you on that?

Yes he is afraid and that is why he is lying about participation in QLD. And yes he is afraid as the afl only has one market to play in, no expansion of any consequence to develop, no player pool to buy into and is surrounded by international codes who are not constrained by any of the above. That’s why the afl leadership lies and exaggerates,it’s why it hides scandals and it’s why it has no future and nowhere to go or grow. It’s an ugly outlier sport.

Going to be funny if afl get stuck having to fund the Tasmanian team all by themselves

I think it’s likely albo will throw money in because he’ll see it as mollifying the fumblers about PNG. There is no just cause for the expenditure but that’s usually not an issue. It will be a white elephant though.

It’s not just money for the stadium

Afl also want the state govt to fund the team 8 million pa forever

albo is too busy funding a png team to waste time with a stadium for afl

Oh and by the way just because Gil doesn’t mention pending dangers from other codes doesn’t mean they aren’t real. This has been the fumblers approach for decades. It’s puerile arrogance from an unethical organisation. Clarkson and his little mate say hello!

Our idiot premier will fund that 8 million. He has his fumbler tank top and Sharon with him wherever he goes. The minister for sport is an incompetent twerp who doesn’t know his head from his ass. A great combo.

I’m sure the thought of a Tasmanian afl side is leaving Peter vlandys awake at night

The danger isnt there at all. Its not like the AFL will just sit on its hands or anything. The great thing about the NRL finally getting a move on is that it forces the AFL to sit up and take notice.

Yes I would rather mclachlan take shots at the NRL like Vlandys does at the AFL, but we cant always get what we want.

It wont happen if thats the case. The AFL did not want this team, which is why successive Tasmanian governments have been throwing everything they can at it.
