Season has already kicked off with some clubs clubs having played 2 games while others only 1. Round 0 what a great idea AFL House ....... yes sarcasm.
Both of last years Grand Finalists have started 0-2.

Round 0 was a great success. Just ask them.
Is it a coincidence that GWS and GC started with two home games?
The mighty Blues have 2 wins after round 1. It’s a sign of the dominance to come.
With an 8 point gap and big percentage gain on 9 sides, they are almost guaranteed finals.
I'm ignoring the AFL provided ladder, and have Port Adelaide on top of my ladder on the fridge using the old match ratio method that they had when there were an odd number of sides.
First time in V/AFL history that grand finalists have start 0-2 (and no team has gone back to back after being 0-2)
Also Tasmania Devils aka the Maps, aka Turbo Chooks aka Two Heads aka the AFL have been dragged kicking and screaming, but still not sure they want the team has been announced.
Who the Fk knows how this plays out over the next few years
Honestly, I think footy would probably die here without it. Government weren't going to keep stumping up cash for a few crappy Norf and Dawks games and if the AFL shunned the team then you'd probably see a lot of people shift away from the game.
Bunch of other reasons like history, other sports taking over (JJ's are very popular) and Tasmania is a lot more in the spot light these days.
Tas definately deserves a team, but the politics of it is so nauseating.

Both cities will get games, UTAS Stadium in Launceston is also getting an upgrade ($50mil +) and I think mostly those involved/interested with footy are for it where ever they are from.
But its a little hard to tell how much the north will be behind it especially when Hobart is getting all the coin (Stadium and High Performance Centre which will be on the old Rosny Course).
Whilst Hobart is the largest city Burnie, Devonport & surrounds plus Launceston being close to 50% of the states population and more the industrial part of the state they may feel short changed.
The election this weekend (which is why I think the timing of the team announcement stinks) might show how much the north and the state as a whole are keen for it.
Also over 100k foundation members now.
No stadium no team. Go Bec!
>120k memberships now. Might need to check if they’re basing that on headcount though.
Cinderella story, out of nowhere, former greenskeeper, now about to become a Masters champion..... It looks like a mirac.. It's in the hole! It's in the hole!

Agreed that only the full amount of home game and all games memberships should be the true reflection of membership numbers.
Just a little bit more pressure at Collingwood now being 0-3.
With each loss from here it really ramps ups.
Golf comparison would be a low single figure marker getting on the bogey train. Gets harder and harder to get off once you’re onboard.
