“The department has pledged that by June next year, every public high school will have a full-time school counsellor and a full-time student support officer.”
Fantastic!🤞🤞 theguardian.com/australia-ne…

This time next week, the #AFL will know the position of clubs on our licence bid. Several have already expressed their support.
Going to be a big week! #exciting

Easy fix. Send your kids to the local public school. Be part of your community.
Ok - so is Clarko strategically rocking the Believers merch and trying to tell the media something? 😍😍 @BelieveTasmania @AlisterNicho

We can almost fill the @MCG 👏👏👏
Thanks to all who’ve pledged their support for a Tasmanian #AFL team.
Add your name to the cause, get vocal and demand our rightful place. It is now or never. Believetasmanian.com.au

The federal government is keen to discuss infrastructure supporting our new team but wants the #AFL to allocate the 19th licence first.

We're ready to take the opportunity.

My 9 year old today - ‘Dad, why do the other clubs get to vote if they want our team in the AFL if it hasn’t happened before for other clubs??’

Amid the preoccupation with a new stadium & posturing of self-interested presidents are we missing the crux of the debate over a Tassie AFL team?
The @AFL has a simple question to answer… Is it the right thing to do?
I’m a categoric YES

Not exactly ‘Buddy Mania’ just one ground invader!

Tasmania’s 1958 carnival side that beat WA and SA.
Baldock, Hodgson, Gale, Eade, Leedham, Conlan, Leo, Spencer… What a lineup.
Our boys and girls need the chance to play senior footy for Tassie. #Believe

🤣🤣 Tony, Tassie will wash its own face.
Meanwhile, GC has cost the AFL 198-million in the past decade.
A footy heartland with a rock-solid business case should not be precluded as a result of the costly expansion into non-traditional footy markets.
On the latest SACKED podcast, Tony Cochrane details his reservations about Tasmania's AFL bid and why he fears it could cost teams more than $10m a year.

The line being peddled that the AFL can’t afford a Tasmanian team is pure propaganda.
A blatant grab at cash from the Tasmanian Government.
Is there another government that has to pay 20-million annually for a team?
Disappointing schedule from @CricketAus No test match for Tassie? all we get is a solitary ODI! Cairns & Townsville get 3, Gold Coast gets 2. Why does Tasmania get the middle finger once again? I can see another wave of juniors crossing to basketball if you don’t lift your game..

The final push. Time to show the trademark Tassie passion. Feels like we are so close this time, can’t let it slip through our fingers.
