And Hobart also get smaller crowds when gws play primarily because gdubbya are a failed expansion.NlolRL wrote: Tue Jan 01, 2019 8:31 amMelbourne clubs get marginally smaller crowds when playing GWS in Melbourne because GWS dont have many travelling fans.King-Eliagh wrote: Tue Jan 01, 2019 7:25 amWhere are your marbles?NlolRL wrote: Mon Dec 31, 2018 12:54 pm
Of course they have lower crowds, they have very few supporters however the point is hobart dont have a team so their crowds are made up from the traveling fans plus a few locals. When the giants play in hobart it shows the crowd is made up from predominantly one of the traveling teams fans and very few locals.
Yep, you keep proving my point lol
So by your theory the reason Carlton and other melb crowds that drop markedly when gws come to town is because the crowds are made up predominantly by travelling fans and a few locals?
Thick as a brick this one. Jesus nlol, you used to be smarter dude. What happened?
Use your brain for once KE
Hobart and GWS arent comparable. One is heartland with a tiny population.

Your attempts to suggest Tasmania would flounder with an AFL club because they only get 9odd k to a gws versus boring old north Melbourne in Hobart are as dumb as they come. Seriously, just stop and consider gws and north Melbourne ... playing In Hobart!I mean fukk why don’t we get the Gold Coast versus north Melbourne in west Sydney and see what sorta crowd that draws??? With ten times the population of Hobart west Sydney would struggle to get half the crowd Hobart draws for the same kind of matchup. grow a brain nlol or stop spamming the boards
facts? Like Fremantle is a city?AFLcrap1 wrote: Tue Jan 01, 2019 8:29 pmYep KE
He ignores this
A lower league hot great crowds with a HOME TAS TEAM .
All he does is dismiss facts with his AFL propaganda
The state was represented in the Victorian league by the Tassie Devils between 2001 and 2008 and saw VFL-high crowds through their first few seasons.
The Devils made finals in 2003, ‘04 and ’05, but an alignment with North Melbourne in 2006 saw crowd numbers tumble and results go backwards, with consecutive wooden spoons leading to the side folding in 2008 .
The Locals as shown will get behind a state team .
They prob still have allegiance to whatever team they follow now but would get behind a home team .

Fremantle is named as a Perth suburb by multiple sources. Its closer to the cbd of perth than almost half of Melbournes suburbs to Melbournes cbd.AFLcrap1 wrote: Tue Jan 01, 2019 10:34 pmYep freemantle is a city
That's a face .
The rest of your rants are anti Tas propaganda
Gws is expansion, tasmania isn't. Thats the difference.King-Eliagh wrote: Tue Jan 01, 2019 11:14 pmNlolRL wrote: Tue Jan 01, 2019 9:35 pmHobart and GWS arent comparable. One is heartland with a tiny population. One is expansion with a huge population.King-Eliagh wrote: Tue Jan 01, 2019 8:21 pm

Tasmania is viable, gws ain’t. Hobart and gws aren’t comparable, ur correct. So why you use low gws crowds in Hobart to Defend the afls stance that Hobart don’t deserve a team?
Gobbledygook is ur language bro. U speak it good![]()
I used the gws games as examples showing the tasmanian games have a large proportion of travelling fans, nothing more.King-Eliagh wrote: Wed Jan 02, 2019 7:51 amLol that’s what I said, they’re not comparable. Yet you’ve used gws games in tas to suggest there’s no need for a team in Tasmania/it wouldn’t be viable.
And You just need to add one bit to your last statement, it should read
Gws is a failed expansion, Tasmania isn’t. That’s the difference![]()

except that fantastic support for a Tasmanian league side wouldn't compare to what is required to sustain an AFL clubAFLcrap1 wrote: Wed Jan 02, 2019 12:57 pm&. You can't claim that a Tas side wouldn't have the fan base until they actually get a team of their own .
The Second grade Tas Devils had fantastic support by the locals so an actual AFLol side would be the same
with such a low population they would struggle to compete even if the team gained similar levels of support to other AFL clubs.AFLcrap1 wrote: Wed Jan 02, 2019 1:34 pm& how do you know a team wouldn't have the support
Oh that's right ..AFL house says that so it must be true .
