whiiiiite

that said, the designs i saw for the ridiculous stadium in Hobart looked pretty sweet, great location too. Their current oval is rubbish because it is in suburbia on the other side of the river.
Still, i think the issue will be if they are Hobart based people from Launceston won't go.

white elephantthat would depend on what requirements they put on it surely, if its just things like lighting for tv and corporate/team facilities they might be ok....less so if it needs to be 80k people or something stupid

And you thought Christchurch was having problems. Tasmania is a poxy little island with two "major" population centres. Launy based supporters won't countenance building such a stadium for Hobart. It's a clever way for the AFL to rule Tasmania out.

No new stadium, no team, AFL tells Tasmania
The Tasmanian government suggested a costly new stadium and now that the toothpaste is out of the tube, it's never going back in again, writes Chris Rowbottom.
none paywalled version

@antipodean all the greenies down there won’t like that monstrosity. Bob Brown will be rioting in the streets…

goddamit where's @shark to talk about the Dees?
Two losses on the bounces, and then Stephen May gets on the piss while under concussion protocols, tells Jake Melksham that they would have lost the GF if he'd played. Jake Melksham was an age grade boxing champ, so dropped May. Fight breaks shit in a restaurant.
May gets a week suspension, Melksham has surgery on his hand.
Stirring stuff.
- 3 losses on the bounce

Completely outplayed in the first half and then couldn’t hit the lead with the Tigers closing out better and their fans on talkback radio here in Melb are up in arms about one umpire call?
Not that I like Richmond, but suck it up Blues.

We sucked last night, other than that 10-15 minute stretch in the 3rd when we kicked 5 in a row.
No run from halfback, poor kicking and we are quickly becoming predictably with our entries into 50.

just more evidence that this Lions group will never win a flag
We are one of those teams that look good in the H&A season, scoring pretty goals against shit teams, playing well on small decks. Then completely clueless in big games against good sides.
The team are the playing embodiment of their coach, just a bunch of nice guys. We aren't hard enough to win finals. We aren't mean enough to win finals. And frankly we aren't good enough to win finals.
Fages will not win a flag as a coach. But then the culture he has brought to the place can not be denied. We are a destination club, and the players we have want to stay. Would a change to a harder, more tactical coach blow that up? Tough decision at Board level.
