The current arrangement is heavily backed by the Tasmanian Government I believe.....won't be anywhere near as profitable if there permanently.bennymacca wrote:Why not move to Hobart permanently if it’s a permanent money spinner?

We were also told we were shit and couldn't survive in Melbourne, remember?, all of the above has happened since.

North are a basket case in waiting, I see no way they can be competitive this year, they will not attract any free agents no matter what they offer them money wise next year or anytime soon. They arent prepared to trade anyone with currency so the rebuild will be very slow and drawn out. They have very fickle supporter base if you could call it that and those small profits will soon turn into massive losses.
But the biggest thing going against them is the AFL are more than happy to let it all unfold and see North forced to relocate to Tassie.

I reckon Gibson is still good, but christ Thomas is cooked. Will struggle in the SANFL.Dutchy wrote:daysofourlives wrote:Then get flogged by 20 goals each week, lose half your members, go broke, relocate to Tasmania, sounds like a solid plan.
All while still paying 95% of the cap to absolute c and d graders, the ones that have stuck at North will be getting well rewarded for their mediocre careers
[emoji38] how are we going broke? Got hardly any debt and made profits 8 of the last 9 years, all while being the only club in the AFL that does not feed off the pokie drip.
Port and the Crows are picking up our C graders for 2018

This is the same “irrelevant club” that handed you your arse on a platter this year to the tune of 10 goals?
The same “irrelevant club” that has actually won a flag since you last won one?
Irrelevant - this coming from a supporter of the most overrated, over resourced, over hyped, underachieving club this league has ever seen.
Love it.

“Nerve Hit!”
Pass me that crystal ball, the one that probably gave the Bulldogs little chance last year & Richmond no chance at all this year...
