Afl 2024

[Hatchman]

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.

[AndyP]

Round 0 was a great success. Just ask them.

Is it a coincidence that GWS and GC started with two home games?

[3Puttpete]

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.

Because Port have won 100% of their games?

That’s about the only thing the seppos have figured out.

[AndyP]

Yep. 100% win record and highest percentage. 8 sides on 100%, Melbourne on 50%, and the other 9 on 0%.

[ParkRoyal]

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)

[ParkRoyal]

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

Other than eventually getting to 20 teams to sell another game per week to TV I still can’t figure out why they want a team there.

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.

Deserving has nothing to do with it.

Western Sydney says hi

GWS generally play a game or two at the showground before Easter, otherwise they don't get on it until May. This happens almost every year. They now don't play another round at the Showground until Round 10, with 2 games in Canberra in April.

Will Tasmania actually be non north/south partisan and get behind the team? Is the intent to play at both Hobart and Lonnie?

I am one of the 75000 foundation email addresses, getting a sticker for the work laptop.

Gee whiz how many clubs can one bloke be a member of.

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.

[3Puttpete]

No stadium no team. Go Bec!

[AndyP]

That's an easy million made.

[Ron Burgundy]

>120k memberships now. Might need to check if they’re basing that on headcount though.

If they turn 120000 email addresses into 20,000 paid memberships, thats a win.

All AFL membership numbers are rubbery.

Pet members, 3 game members, baby members etc. the only number that matters is the 11 home game membership.

[Hatchman]

Agreed that only the full amount of home game and all games memberships should be the true reflection of membership numbers.

[Hatchman]

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.

I think revenue from membership should be the number that gets looked at.
