Maybe but it’s actually a very good idea. $1m per year to play what is effectively a “home away from home” game compared to playing at Marvel seems too good to be true. Look at what the deal did for the Hawks and they got 8 games per season at $9 m per year over 25 odd years.
That’s over $200m to the Hawks over that time and would have gone a long way to bank rolling a far better facility at Dingley than the one we are getting at Punt Rd.
The Tigers should be looking more at these “best practise “ arrangements whether we are a top 8 side or not.
On field success and commercial viability are not always be completely linked
I get your point but as soon as the Tassie team comes I the Hawthorn/Tassie govt deal ends. So the Hawks are going to have to find a new major sponsor.
I'd argue once our redevelopment is finished it will be a good as Dingley if not better as we would have been able to keep our traditional home,
Will say it again once the Tassie AFl side c0mes in no Vic based tea, will be playing home games in Tassie
