You'd have to pay off the players association to get them to agree, but the only way to build a decent team without ruining the draft is via an expansion draft.
Carn the Convicts!
Eddie wanted bells and whistles and I bet if they did that he would say they went over the top. Eddie needs to pull his head in and embrace tassie and how good it will be for football.
"We can't have them running put of portables…" and then we immediately see a graphic with the misspelling "moritorium." Eddie proclaiming that there are separate budgets, as if there is $700 million laying around to spend only on a stadium, its own little special government compartment. I want a Tassie team as badly as anyone else, but if you are going to be fair dinkum about addressing the opposing arguments, then be fair dinkum. Go, Saints!
Jimmy has done a great job in western Sydney. 1% of the kids are playing AFL. Another disaster expansion fiasco from the AFL. Jimmy looking for more Director fees in Tassie?
Seems like there are plenty of construction resources just lying around at the moment…Absolutely crazy with the lack of people and resources in construction. The AFL don't know that Queensland are sucking in more and more resources daily to keep up with demanding commercially and residentially. Must have also forgotten that the 2032 Olympics are coming up.
Probably cost you $200 Million just to get water/sewerage and power to the new stadium, 50,000 people produce a lot of poop
19 teams? They need to combine a team.
5 Years why so long. No other AFL team has taken anywhere near 5 yeras to set up. The AFL is just doing what they have always done everything they possibly can to delay Tasmania having an AFL Team.
Eddie's mentality just get the Taxpayer to pay for it. Look at our Training Facilities the Glasshouse and Olympic Park we pay no rent for it and the Tax Payer builds all the facilities. Tasmania has 1 AFL team and 3 AFL Stadiums
Put a train station in under the stadium,like Ajax did.Out of the train,into your seat.
Total waste of Taxpayers money in the middle of a rental crisis. But Eddie does not care as he owns multiple mansions. No Football team anywhere in the World has ever been told they can only enter if they build a stadium with a roof. Not even in Europe where it is colder than in Tasmania.
Meanwhile … GWS and Gold Coast will be forgotten about.
Where the hell is Sam Newman
Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool are do ok with no roofed stadium in very cold conditions much colder than Tasmania. So why on earth was it a condition of entry for Tasmania. When is the Ballarat Stadium that is in the coldest part of Victoria getting a roof?
What is the Logic from Albo and Rockliff here we are already billions in defect what's another $750 Million going to mean. This is the most shameful illogical waste of taxpayers money that I have ever seen.
We are in the Middle of a Housing Crisis there are more homeless people in Tasmania than ever before. So, what do the TAS Libs do built only the 2nd Football Stadium with a Roof in Australian History. For a Stadium that is looking at only 7 AFL Matches a year. The AFL rakes in $643 Million a year from selling the TV rights to the Highest Bidder. But they are not a business oh no they are a non for profit that pays no tax. This is shameful.
The Most accurate Name for the Stadium would be Corporate Welfare Stadium. But they will not call it that they will Sell the Naming rights to the Highest bidder just like they sell everything else. The AFL a non for profit what a joke.
All for the Tassie team, not for the new stadium, Plan is 20,000 seat new stadium with a roof. How do we upgrade to say 30,000 in the future if we have a roof? We already have 2 footy grounds in Tassie both already hold 20,000, Utas being the better ground. Government are putting another 100 million in to Utas also. Wouldnt it be better to just upgrade Utas some more with the new stadium funding turning that into a 40,000 seat stadium at a lower cost. More money can be then put into footy academy's and housing for the new players, coach's and staff.
Why can teams from SA, WA, NSW, and QLD, all enter without roofs but Tassie can't? It gets pretty cold in Ballarat and Canberra why don't those stadiums require roofs? This is Corporate Welfare. Why are no AFL Commentators calling this Taxpayer ripoff for what it is?
This stadium will cost way more than expected. Inflation at record highs price of steele and building supplies will only keep going up. I estimate total costs to be around 5 billion by the time it's complete. 18 months ago my dog food was $18 now it's $32. Russia has record low inflation so how are western countires actually sanctioning russia? I think western leaders have actually sanctioned us. Only time will tell. Im all for a tassie and NT team but not in this current environment. Maybe Albo will tax our flatuence to cover the cost?
LOL how many times has ed mentioned the boat thing this week
20K capacity? What if they get a home final? 20K would be a joke. Gotta be at least 30K.
Can't wait for the welcome to country!
Plenty of teams in Victoria to raid for players
What should they call them? The Tasmanian Devils is the obvious one… i still think Gold Coast chose the wrong team name. Suns is horrible, when they had options to be called Sharks. Stick with the animal theme. Tassie team will end up being called the Tassie Thunder. For gods sake pick an animal
The taxpayer pays, the afl profits and the poor sleep in their cars. Late stage capitalism at it's finest lol
Why does it need a covered roof. Just cover the stands and make sure fans are undercover. Has to be 35k+ seated stadium, anything less doesnt make sense.
Great.We bring back the bye and make the fixture a little more unfair than it is at the moment.What the AFL really needs to do is trim the number of clubs.
Don't underestimate the opposition to the location of the stadium, which has no public transport infrastructure. Why isn't the Bellerive Oval, which already seats 20,000, upgraded at less cost? And I saw somewhere the projected events in the Macquarie stadium including football at less than 50 a year!!
I will not Barack for them no chance they have 2 Good satiums already .bluestone arena,down south and utas in the north No need for a new stadium in tassie
What about a team in the act and nt think about them
Anyone on the panel here watch Utopia?
go bombers
2 years ago the AFL was crying poverty and now look a new AFL team?😮
Even if I was born in Tassie I still wouldn't have enough fingers to count how many ways this will go pear-shaped.
Just a thought. Where are the teams training facilities gonna be? It's not gonna be like Fitzroy and Richmond of old where it looked like they trained on a dump. North Hobart oval would be good though it needs a facelift. I don't think they did anything with that ground in 100 years. Lol
Jimmy is spot on good to see someone thinking outside the box.
Why a roof? I don't understand. Marvel stadium has a roof and that is a sh😮t show. Players afraid of the wet or you want to be like America?
We’re in a recession, cant afford to live, rate rises and no ones Shitty at this?
It will never be a national competition while it's still a Victorian suburban league pumped up by interstate club's
15:16 This episode was anything but positive…
Ed is in danger of becoming this nations greatest Negative Nancy. Can't watch this show anymore. What a flog
