So, it seems like there is some momentum for an AFL team in Tasmania:

As far as I'm concerned, the AFL should learn from its past mistakes and not try to establish a wholly new team, given the headaches caused by GWS and GCS. Instead, there is a ready-made solution that should be considered.
De-register the West Coast Eagles so we don't have do deal with their presence here in WA, and move them to Tasmania. You wouldn't even need to change their name. They could still be known as West Coast....of Tasmania. Please do it, AFL.
