There must be a reason why no sports have entered TAS, but if done correctly you have a whole (tiny) state backing a team. Apparently the North/South thing is pretty big in Tassie : the Northerners hate the Southerners and vice-versa and wouldnt support a team based in the other. You could split home games between Hobart and Launceston to try to alleviate that, but tbh i don't reckon that shared city teams are ever a good idea in professional sport. FWIW about 220,000 live in Hobart, and i think about 450,000 total. Also worth noting they'd be competing with Hobart Hurricanes in the summer.

Greater Hobart 220,000, Greater Launceston 107,000. Lived Hobart nearly 15 years. Attendances at local football matches were woeful. Take away the WAGs and there were more people on the pitch than in the stands. Forget it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errr, I seem to recall that the reason the A-League exist is because the Federal Government commissioned a report and then provided seed money to get the comp off the ground. Then there was the World Cup bid where the Feds kicked in $42M. I don't recall anyone complaining about that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a reason why no sports have entered TAS, but if done correctly you have a whole (tiny) state backing a team. The main problem seems to be 200km between the 2 main population centres and the Hobart/Launceston rivalry. It'd take supreme dedication to do a 5 hour round trip to watch an A-League match on a fortnightly basis. And with Hobart only having a population of 200,000 you'd really need to get a decent percentage of support in what is an AFL dominated state.

None of them can fight 2. Why is it that security are trying to fend us, whilst retreating, and let the phillipines players continue to advance 3. Dog acts all through out the fight; attacking players from behind, attacking players on the ground. 4. Based on how quickly it turned to pandamonium, the Phillipines were somewhat itching for it.

bt50 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I'd suggest the Philippines will be having a basketball holiday for a year or two after that. Thon maker and Kickert will have holidays too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of it yes, but stomping Goulding whilst on ground defenceless is a dog act, furthermore with the way security acted it wouldn't have taken much more for it to turn very serious quickly.

Why the fuck are they complaining about a 'boys' only one. There were 3 girls in my engineering degree, and all 3 had 'woman' only scholarships, my grades were better then all of them. What do I get?

And others like them. I don't think that the world has been too forgiving - it was political expediency at the time. No matter how disgusting, Unit 731 did research that the USA wanted for all sorts of reasons (including benign medical research) hence their immunity. I don't think that the Chinese people would ever forgive them and nor should anyone else. However there is a brain cell that keeps reminding me that I am a beneficiary (through medicine) of their brutality. As an aside I recall reading that the Japanese Emperor's younger brother was so horrified by Unit 731's methods that he tried to shut it down, prompting the Emperor to hold him under house arrest until McArthur released him.

cadete Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Some good front runners at Caulfield on Saturday also had a hell of a time with the wind... This is a something you usually only see in Melbourne at Flemington due to its size, long straight and location. There was also an Eight Goal Wind going one way at Williamstown - usually its a Four Goal Wind. Edited August 20, 2018 by cadete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
