Tasmania. Why?

[shanegrambeau]

should have been one before the NSW and Qld extra teams BM.

The AFL were being arsehelos in not having a team in one of the most avid Aussie rules states if not the most avid outside of victoria.

100%

We have the ANZAC day thing of course, and any other cause.

But Tassie doesn't count.

Tassie is part of the football culture in the country and AFL. A pillar .

However, sports bodies need some business sense, so I can understand why it wasn't so easy.

In cricket, same familiar rationales.

Cricket was played there in 1803, before Victoria was thought of.
They won the first ever first class match in Australia.
But they struggled and isolation, not only from the mainland, but the three mini-states within Tassie too. The south, the north and then the north-west*.

* Industry and mines silver, tin?, gold ? mines up there in the west north are had its own thing too, because they had a footy league too I believe.

Anyway, the point is, the mainland wanted Tassie in the Shield (notionally at least) but they were figured to be too out of the way, divided, weak and small. Not admitted to the Sheffield Shield until 1977 and only on a downgraded basis. 170+ years after a cricket ball was bowled (underarm?) there.

And it doesn’t matter if you lived there

If you’re not born there - you’re not Tasmanian

Therefore it stands to reason you don’t feel like a proud Tasmanian

I grew up there. Haven’t lived there for 30 years

And still call myself Tasmanian and will barrack for a Tassie team as soon as they come in!

Fair enough B.M. but I just recon it's a numbers game overlaid with a healthy dose of politics.

Recon????? I thought someone with a PhD would know it’s reckon???
Maybe this was a typo? Then, I noticed you’ve been spelling it the same way in a few recent posts.

Mum’s the word though eh? We can’t let the Fireman know you too can’t spell. I’m sure Fireman would argue this somewhat lowers the educational prestige of one possessing a PhD.

Oh where, oh where is ‘Spelly’? Definitely need her to return to police spelling & grammar standards on SS?

Funny how a few posters with different nicknames who don’t appear to post here anymore (I think they were banned???). They also spelt reckon as recon.

There is no prestige to owning a PhD. That is a classist myth. You can pin a PhD on a pig. It is still a pig.

Oh nothing I was just confused with the irony of your comment, in one hand you sounded like you were making a point about class, but on the other you were putting down pigs.

So I recon you are either confused about how not to be a classist or you have an inferior complex, or maybe you need to read more white papers on complex phycology theories.

Love all the animals.

Go to a literature forum for that!!!

Discuss the topic, who gives a s*** how you do it!!!

[CQ SAINT]

PhDs were being handed out for 300 years, before literacy for anyone, but the elite, was even considered. They are classists trickery and legal witchcraft.
Literacy rates aren't getting any better. Sort of takes the shine off those Doctors of Philosophy dragging us all along with them
and their fancy complex words and spellings.
You literally just misquoted me and added context only you would understand.
I think.my point has been made.

I'm not really sure who you are directing that at. There are protocols for quoting if you are interested in a lesson relevant to your interest.
I'll assume its Loris, who announced she was going off topic. You don't have to follow but here you are.
You could mind your own business and leave with a one liner but its great to see you are stretching yourself.
There's no need to be rude though.

I am against quoting

It makes threads unreadable

Not sure if you are replying to a comment or conversation you have to repeat EVERYTHING that’s been said on the topic before replying
If you can’t work out in this thread who I’m replying to, maybe have a closer read?! Or you’re lacking intelligence- I don’t know

Put it this way

In a conversation with multiple people, when making a point, do you have to repeat what’s been said prior before making your point?
Are people really that dumb?! I suggest giving people some credit - generally they cam follow a conversation - even with multiple people…

IMO constant multiple quoting is ridiculous and ruins threads

Do you realize Tassie is my favourite State in this wide brown land of AUS and, I’ve seen plenty of it over my to be 79 years. I think the song, “I’ve Been Everywhere Man, I’ve Been Everywhere Man” was written just for me.

A history lesson for those who dislike English lessons. My Tassie claim to fame. I was arrested, when I chained myself to a bull-dozer, when Dr Bob Brown led a motley crew of environmentalists to Save The Gordon Below Franklin oh so long, long ago.

CQ SAINT, do you think that might get me any brownie points from the PE teacher, and forgive me a little for going off topic and worse still for using the quote button??
