Just try not to call the team "the Devils" though, that's a bit to close to the Demons y'know? Perhaps "the Convicts" might be an epic name.

This history and loyalty seems to count for nothing in the 'new' football environment where these values are seen as 'old fashioned'. Regular footy followers have a dwindling chance to attend finals as the mega-marketing AFL money-grabbers chase the filthy lucre. Tasmania and the common man are frozen out by the 'big end of town' . Time for the AFL to give us both a fair go.

These are two states that only support their current teams due to sucess that came for Sydney, 20years after their move and for Brisbane, 9years.

Why not put teams in places where these team will be supported and appreciated. Tasmainia will support a team, they currently support there VFL team.
