Optus stadium was though and that's arguably been more successful than Adelaide Oval.
I reckon I have heard about Pendlebury playing basketball at least 10 times on both footy talk shows and during match day commentary esp from Brian Taylor and by the man himself and the basketball skills is one of the reasons why many observer's think it helps with his elite footy evasion skills.
Yep the Liberals need to get another 4 members to join them and it is not going to be easy as Lambie campaigned viciously against the Stadium and there are only 3 other independents who even if they all joined with the Liberals the Libs would still one seat short of a majority but this is Tasmania so anything could happen and the offer of a ministerial position usually does wonders!.inally, the Tasmanian Election Commission have finished all the counting. Final results is: Liberals 14, Labor 10, Greens 5, Jacqui Lambie Network 3, and independents 3.
It’s going to be very interesting negotiations for the Liberals to put together a minority government

Swings and roundabouts.
Worldwide basketball merchandise sales (especially footwear) is tracking down quite swiftly.
The peak has been reached in my opinion.
LeBron and Curry won't be around forever.
But now is definitely the time for the AFL to re-strenghen its grip on Tasmania.

Big part of it.
However, the NBA markets themselves better than any sport on the planet.
You need the invidual stars and personalities to drive that.
I don't follow it, but for the past 15 years I would have been able to tell you the biggest stars just due to their global recognition.
I couldn't really tell you the next big stars that will continue to drive that interest and revenue, at least currently.
Without the bright lights and personalities driving it I think it risks dipping in popularity.
Even if only in overseas markets more so than the US.

Americans do it so well. Look at Caitlin Clark atm and the flow on affect from her popularity.
Wemby and probably Cooper Flagg will be the next poster boys

Yep - government will be formed. Ministeries have been decided and the deal with the JLM is a 12 month handshake at this stage.
Unlikely they will throw toys out of the pram in 12 months given the headwinds of a Fed Election by September.

The Libs still 1 independent to form a government? Not sure of the views of the 3 independents in relation to the stadium. It also seems one of the deals with the Jacqui Lambie Network was for an independent assessor to look at the Stadium
In exchange, the government has agreed for an independent assessor to look at the state's finances and the proposed AFL stadium on Hobart's waterfront

Any future change to the Goods Shed, including relocation within the property, would need to be consistent with the heritage council's works guidelines,” he said.

Hopefully that future Darwin team also uses the baggers scheme, D baggers would work brilliantly.

Devils moving at a snail’s pace: Fears over when Tasmania’s new stadium will be ready
By Sam McClure The Age
April 25, 2024 — 5.00amConcern is growing at the glacial rate at which the AFL’s newest club, the Tasmania Devils, is moving in its endeavours to play in round one of 2028.
Two senior business figures in Tasmania, who are intrinsically connected to the build of the new stadium at Macquarie Point and spoke on the condition of anonymity, believe the Devils may be forced to play their first two seasons – not just one – at UTAS Stadium in Launceston and Blundstone Arena in Hobart because the proposed roofed stadium may not be ready until 2030.

While Brendon Gale remains the Devils’ preferred candidate to be the first chief executive, the club would like an answer sooner rather than later.
But Gale, who has privately told people he’s still considering his options, as recently as Tuesday spoke passionately about the redevelopment of the Jack Dyer Stand at Punt Road in an interview with Channel Seven.
Richmond’s list manager,Blair Hartley, who masterminded the building of the Tigers list that won three premierships, remains number one on the Devils’ hit list to help build a team that will be competitive from its first season.
Two sources at the Devils, who wouldn’t be quoted because of confidentiality reasons, told this column that Hartley hadn’t been formally approached because they were waiting for an answer from Gale.
Hartley, along with Greater Western Sydney’s Jason McCartney and the Western Bulldogs’ Sam Power, has already helped to oversee plans for building the new team, in consultation with then AFL football boss Brad Scott.

Hartley is contracted and remains very much a required staff member at Punt Road.
Devils chairman Grant O’Brien told The Scoop: “Our priority hire at the moment is our CEO, and it will be up to that person, once in place, to work with the board to attract and retain the right staff for the Devils.”
If Gale was to commit to being the first chief executive of a Tasmanian AFL team, he would almost certainly have to announce that publicly before the end of the home-and-away season.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a senior football industry figure with links to Tasmania said the Devils were in desperate need of a CEO sooner rather than later, so that person could then hire a general manager of football and a general manager of corporate affairs and communications.
A football boss would then be able to organise heads of list management, recruitment and coaching.

Richmond president John O’Rourke, who had just landed in Melbourne from overseas and was on his way to the MCG for the Tigers’ Anzac Day eve clash with Melbourne, told this column he had “no comment on Tassie or Brendon or Blair”.
The timeline of the stadium at Macquarie Point is starting to become clearer and insiders believe a proposed timeline for it to be ready by the start of the 2029 season may be a stretch.
Two senior industry sources, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity, have told this column that the AFL has already accepted the fact that the Macquarie Point stadium won’t be ready for the team’s first game in 2028 and has agreed to a contingency plan whereby Blundstone Arena and UTAS Stadium can be shared for home games for one season.
But questions are being raised as to whether even 2029 may be too early.
The state government is waiting for a submission from the Macquarie Point Development Corporation, which is expected somewhere between August and September of this year.
That will trigger the start of the Project of State Significance (POSS), where the Tasmanian Planning Commission, independent of the government, will undergo a rigorous process to determine potential impacts on environmental, social and economic factors.
That project can take anywhere between 12 and 24 months, which means the planning process could still be going during the 2026 finals series.
Once the POSS is complete, the stadium then needs to be approved by both sides of parliament.

As to be expected, when McClure is involved, there’s a s**t-tonne of sensationalism and fear-mongering in that article.

It's probably going to be an incredibly looong time until we hear any actual big news regarding the stadium now. I'm not expecting anything to happen at all interesting to happen in the next year except for... hopefully.. the High Performance Centre getting underway.
