Do you think AFL Tasmania should look at having a VFL team again ?
The AFL team for Tasmania seems to have stopped being talked about.
It would be a feet chance for Tasmania's best players to come up against AFL talent every week.

a bloke called Scott Wade (ex Hawthorn player) took it upon himself to restructure football in Tassie which included withdrawing from the VFL, a BIG mistake in my opinion, where has Tasmanian football gone since that decision? I remember Port playing a final down in Tassie at Belrieve in front of a huge crowd
I think that, yes they should have another go at Vfl level for a few reasons.
Playing in the vfl would put their better players on the radar and would increase their potential for getting noticed.
The vfl could do with the extra exposure into Tasmania with this being a positive for sponsorship deals.
The league is lacking good support and is in need of a boost in interest, one which a Tassie side could bring if they bring their big crowds like they did years ago. Should they be able to maintain healthy crowds in the vfl this would strengthen their argument for a afl side. I believe crowds would come out in good numbers to support the club due to a lesser amount of entertainment options and Tasmanias love of football.

Interesting.....Scott Wade .....Hawthorn !!
Do you think Hawthorn had any influence in the demise of the Tassie state team. Tasmania football has long been a problem which they still haven't been able to solve.
A bloody shame as I used to love going to the games over there & would love to see them come again.
Scott Wade 100 percent BLAME !!!
Tassie devils were good for comp.
Yes!
They seem to have a major issue with the north/south divide. I'd go 2 teams: Hobart and Launceston
