game number 300... following an illustrious 15-year journey that's included 3 premierships.
@Richmond_FC
@ClarenceRoos
How about this!
OHA’s Trent “Speedy” Standen kicked 30.12 today… yes… THIRTY GOALS.
He went into the match on 71 for the season which means he also brought up his ton…
Fair day out! 👏👏👏
Moving
@NMFCOfficial
to Tassie won’t work.
Renaming them to the Tassie Kangaroos won’t work.
If that’s our only option - forget it.
We want and DESERVE our own team and should accept NOTHING less.
For the sake of the game’s future here, the AFL just HAS to make this happen…
"This is a conversation that will not go away in the game's upper echelons."
Caroline Wilson reports there is still a push for the Kangaroos to move to Tasmania, and that there is "disenchantment" among players with David Noble.

💔A lot of us were in the same position this morning… part of excited households getting the kids ready for their final day of school.
Knowing 4 won’t be returning home to their parents tonight is heartbreaking and difficult to process.
Thinking of everyone in Devonport. 💔
How spoilt have we been by the mighty Tasmania

premiership coach Alastair Clarkson has "joined our team" and will be part of Tasmania's push for its own

side.
He'll have an initial engagement of 6 months and will provide help in a range of areas.
People will have their own opinion about this bloke and that’s fine… but two things from me:
1. I loved watching him play footy.
2. It was great to see first hand last Friday night that he seems to be in the best place he has been for a long time.
Some seismic news from my little world…
After 12 amazing years at

This audio from our

podcast only days ago…
Fox interview followed a Channel 7 appearance in the first innings!
It’s a sad day for Tassie footy.
It’s my understanding unless something drastically changes, one of Tassie’s proudest clubs Glenorchy… former home of the great Peter Hudson… is unlikely to field a senior men’s team in 2023.
I’m told there’s only 15 players currently training.
Anyone else having trouble with

Might be a coincidence, but since its 4K offering became available it’s quite glitchy in 1080HD when watching the footy…
Might be just me but I’ve tried changing all the settings… any help appreciated!

Absolute demolition job!

It has the backing of leading economist Saul Eslake.

Despite all his achievements, the thing I love the most is he’s never forgotten where he came from.

Here’s a piece I did ahead of Jack’s 300th game.
It includes some tremendous archive vision.
Enjoy!
I’ve been to plenty of sporting events over the years but NOTHING compares to the atmosphere at MyState Bank Arena last night.
Somehow, the noise has grown week after week but last night was just extraordinary.
The Ant Army is one special bunch!

Quote of the day from

young gun Nick Larkey... when I asked him how he would feel playing an

match in an empty stadium due to the

...
“We’re pretty used to that at North Melbourne. We don’t get too many at the games!”
That was absolutely unbelievable.
What a send off.
Eddie McGuire is an absolute pro.
And what Shane’s kids did tonight… no words. 😭
#ShaneWarneMemorial
This would be the worst start culturally you could possibly have IMO.
@JackJumpers
Scott Roth has proven that it’s more important to have good people rather than good players so if a “marquee” doesn’t want to be here full-time… then no thanks!
@SamLandsberger
article today.
“At $750m, a stadium with a roof equates to the cost of running health services for about 4 months.
With the feds injecting $240m, the cost to Tas is 2-3 months’ health services, and about 6 months if you think the cost will blow out to $1.5 billion.”

After a long, long wait… Tassie, we’re getting an

team.
This, in my opinion is exactly why the
@AFL
must do all it can to make a Tassie team happen.
If this is going on at one of the state’s most successful clubs, what does it mean for the rest of footy?
Basketball is absolutely booming here right now and footy is being left behind.
It’s a sad day for Tassie footy.
