Tasmania Tasmania Devils, welcome to the AFL. Mens team to enter 2028. Womens team TBA. Labor declares support for Stadium 6/5

[3207]

Emphasise that Tassie has a strong identity already unlike expansion clubs

They will sell a stack of Victorian based memberships if they give the same conditions as gws. Effectively a light AFL reserve membership

They should really get a training rehab social club base somewhere in melb too.

Why?

 

[nobbyiscool]

Hawk fans were always believers. Don’t discount a portion of the 100k mat be mainlanders, even I’d displaced taswegians

Can anyone estimate the Tassie diaspora?

The displaced Tasmanians is part of what I'm most excited about. For all the discussion and excitement around Hobart and potential stadiums, I'm excited about the community of displaced Tasmanians that I foresee forming communities around away games. For whatever reason, it's a place where people are generally proud to have grown up, and we take our Tasmanianess to the mainland.

Don't reckon I'll be finding it in the northern suburbs of Melbourne...

Few years back you could get it posted up from Dan’s. Gutted when they stopped that service. Good drop.

 

[peetoo]

Why?

There’s a lot of taswegians here

There’s a lot of taswegians here

There’s a lot of Sydney-Siders too. And WA expats. And SA……..

You want Freo and Port to have a base here too?

There was about 5 minutes where I discovered I could get Boags red from Dan Murphy's. But no sooner had I discovered it, they stopped doing it

It's ok, it's not as good as I remember it anyway. And when I'm homesick I've found a pub near a mates place in Carlton that does it on tap(!)

 

[peetoo]

Do you want to move to Tasmania? Probably not, and that's why the island state's dream run is over

As Tasmanians get ready to vote in a state election, experts are predicting a gloomy time ahead for the state, with a shrinking population and economic downturn expected.

Estimates 15k leave every year. Not perfect but 300k since hawthorn played games there.

Net migration is much much less. Obviously people return

They probably do

Sydney and brisbane obviously different. NRL tribalism

Boag’s Red! On tap here???? Which boozer mate?

I make a point of not leaving Port but for Boag’s Red I will make an exception !

The Commercial Club Hotel in Carlton - here's their menu, including the Boags red!

Tastes bloody good out of the keg when you haven't had it for a while! Cheapest beer they serve too.

I've also found it at The Lincoln in Carlton before, but they're one of those places that rotate their beers for a theme, and maybe 12-15 months ago they were doing a Tassie theme. I randomly wandered in there for lunch and left 12 hours later having had 100 different beers from home

Legend mate thank you. If you see a bloke in Giants gear having one come over and say g’day.

@Zoops should be in charge of their jumper design.

I have been working away at what I'd like to see become the primary design. The map logo is unique and equally historic, yet for this new team, it deserves to be more of an emblem rather than the identifying design feature, much like how St Kilda incorporate their crest. The two stripes akin to the 1980 state guernsey are perfect for this new team. It's a unique and historic look whilst fitting a contemporary sense where this club can distinguish itself from the state side, despite being inspired by the state team iconography.

See here, the 1980 State jumper.


With inspiration from that state jumper and the overall aesthetic, here's my concept.

Boags red on tap? Drop the ****ing address, pronto

 

[Hodgey 15]

Go for it guys. Btw is this one of the proposed jumper/merch designs?

View attachment 1933023

Good point. Could very well be.

 

[Fire]

The more I look at it, the more I am convinced that devils logo is AI generated...

Whats with the tuft of hair coming from its ear?

Jacqui Lambie, frothing at the mouth!

WTF is her problem? She makes it sound like building the stadium will be Armageddon for the people of Tasmania.

Tryna guilt Dill to 'come down here and see what it's like'. Yeah that'll work Jaqcui

We know you don't want a stadium, and we know you still want a club, AFL has said no stadium no club, make a choice, you can't have it both ways. Support it don't.

But don't politicize it for your own gain, put up or stfu!

 

[3207]

Boags red on tap? Drop the ******* address, pronto

Did you ever have the “Wizard Smith’s” from Boag’s? Nice drop too

Edit: Just seen it is still
Available. And now as a pale? I remember it being a Red when I first had it back in 2008?

It’s her schtick. She knows what appeals to the “I’m angry at both major parties” voter.

Never tried them, or the St George beer they make either. But by golly have I sunk a few of those green piss rockets.

I think lot of her anti stadium BS is to give her some leverage with Libs (if they get elected as minority) for when she made need it.
