West Coast's issues were caused solely by COVID. It doesn't matter what their financial position is if their list management is up cow manure creek. Tassie is interested - but only in their own club and they need it to prop up the game as a whole down there. The AFL has the final say and if it's relocated club, that's what it is.

Relocation will not happen,
West Coast initial issues were covid related, but they did not improve greatly after that.
Most teams have a poor period over time, and I think both north and west coasts will continue beyond next year, but again relocation will not happen to Tasmania for many reasons, but the major one is that there is no long term profit in it for the AFL.
There are lies, damn lies and then there are ratings.

Oh I think the Eagles did actually. Pretty sure they'll be back in the mix in 2023.

And I disagree on the profit comment. There will be profit long term because of the rebirth of the game down there.

And that's your providence to do so. Agreeing to disagree.

I think they'll find cause if they want to, and I suspect they will. It won't be in the finances. It will be in list management.

Here's what I think will happen, if the AFL finds that cause that is (and yes that's not a guarantee);

Tell North Melbourne that they have to go to Tasmania but they can stay in Melbourne if;
a) They accept a priority draft pick and;
b) They trade both that pick and the original first pick for experienced players (that's what they need right now)

Now there is a pretty good chance they will do that - but suppose they refuse thinking rebuilding with young players is the way to go? Uh uh - it's not when they don't have experience to carry the load. The competition is all about balance, and North is threatening that right now unless they get their house in order. No coach can fill that gap - not even Clarkson.
No one is going to go anywhere for list management. You cant threaten a license for playing badly. It has to be financial or insolvency. North are currently not either.

And the clubs still have to approve of any relocation or license stripping. And the clubs wont go for this.

They will go for it if it threatens the balance of the competition, and consequently crowd numbers which is a big threat to one's bottom line - especially right now post two terrible seasons because of the pandemic. North are playing badly because their players primarily aren't ready for AFL football. Some are but their list is too short - way too short. I disagree that it HAS to be purely financial. That's way too narrow minded for the situation.

Tasmania need a team. The game needs a team in Tasmania. And the only way they'll get it is via relocation, not a 19th team. If there's anything the 18 clubs won't go for it's that.

If its not financial then it has no chance of happening. No club is being relocated for poor list management. Thats just ridiculous, and probably outside the constitutional remit of the AFL Commission.

I see Tasmania being granted the 19th license.
this would lift the profile of the game in the state and along with that
it would lift the grassroots of local clubs therefore increasing playing talent.

imagen a list of majority Tasmanian players.

the year of entry however is hard to judge.

AFL and CLUBS would be looking at where the 20th teams comes from
as that is another interesting topic.

Think the profile of Aussie rules is pretty high in Tassie :)

It's in trouble. Big trouble. Players aren't being recruited to the AFL and instead of playing in the TFL as they should be they go to the mainland to play VFL or SANFL. And the Hawks and the Kangaroos aren't helping by playing games down there. Tasmanians know it and the only solution is their own team in order to rekindle waning interest.

Won't happen. The current 18 clubs want nothing to do with it no matter what. It's relocation, merger of two Melbourne clubs (not happening either) or no Tassie.

It's not ridiculous when the list management is so incredibly bad that is affects the club in all respects short term and long term. And I very much doubt there is such a restriction in the AFL Constitution. The terms of losing a license would be flexible by default. The term "unviable" is not limited to immediate financial considerations. It has to go wider than that in all respects of the running of the club in the present day. That includes list management.
