Well, I suppose there are two sets of Lions in the expanded VFL.

There are two sets of Tigers (Richmond and Werribee) too.

Oh yeah! How weird.

just spent a week in tassie.
arrive at launny to be greeted by photos of hawthorn shittheads in the arrival gate and then you’ve got the weather.
what a shitheap of an outpost.
think tassie will own us down there worse than the tarps.

Just a little hiccup. With fears of a budget blowout on the 750 million dollars stadium it’s now found that the cost of the underground carpark was left out. Smoke and mirrors.

It’s two headedness at it’s best

Even when we win, we lose.

And the state govt, snouts in the as yet unconstructed trough so deep, just keeping as quiet about things as they can. This will be a horrible mess for the people of the state and a huge profit making juggernaut for a select few.

I do blame the AFL at the end of the day. The hoops that they are making Tasmania are far too onerous and I’ve said from the start that secretly the AFL will be hoping this falls over.

They got their bluff called by a bunch of landed gentry who were just as surprised it worked. This is what it sounds like when polo horses cry.

Seriously Ace who gives a crap on how much it costs. Tassie should a great stadium and ten farking subs are costing probably half a trillion , so a billion dollars is a snip.

I couldn’t care less what it costs but I think Tasmanians might and I’m not sure if they can rustle up the extra money if needed. As I said, the AFL will be wanting it to fall over

There is an election coming up so all sides will splash the cash. Or the Feds could cut the subs in half and then they could big a few more.

They aren’t cutting the subs in half. They are increasing our military and doing everything possible to niggle the Chinese

I still don’t understand the design, looks architecturally challenged, the whole wooden frame is going to be a disaster and cleaning the glass roof inside and out
