@R1CHARDFREEDMAN @PennySharpemlc Well said Richard

@RobHunter7577 @PeterGHanlon A cracking piece. Gee I miss Peter Hanlon’s delightful writing in The Age

@PeterNewlinds The performer is Melbourne girl Ruvarashe Ngwenya. A star in the making.

@MaryGearin Whatever you do Mary, you do it well. This ABC viewer will miss your friendly presence and total professionalism. Loved your great passion for journalism.

@melfyfe @WelshyKnows @Martin_Flanagan @AnnaReyno @TimLaneSport @brendongale25 @RuthForrestMLC Thanks Melissa, the point being that the stadium’s huge cost will demand most or all games be played there, rather than half in Launceston, hence alienating most of the island’s footy lovers. Your article was balanced and well researched. AFL decision makers MUST read it.

@melfyfe @WelshyKnows @Martin_Flanagan @AnnaReyno @TimLaneSport @brendongale25 @RuthForrestMLC Great insight Melissa. Another factor is that most of Tasmania’s ardent footy fans live in the north and north-west. Travel from the n-w could be a 7-8 hour round trip. So it would be folly to put all the eggs in the Hobart stadium basket case.

@AlisterNicho Grant O’Brien is an inspired choice to lead Tassie. His many achievements aside, his appointment helps bring the island together. Penguin leads the way!

@JuliaMi07559185 Germline opens an intriguing window into the future. If you’re looking for a page turner, this is for you.

@millwoodmedia Wishing you the very best Rachel. The north east is a fertile place for stories and you’ll make a new chapter in the Advertiser’s grand tradition.

@LeonCompton Do the AFL’s conditions for Tassie apply for GWS and Gold Coast? “If match revenue is less than expected, the government (ie Tasmanian people) have to pay AFL an amount equal to the latter within 14 days of the game.” Just one of several ominous threats.

@zdaniel All power to you Zoe. The sinister integration of gambling ads into sports telecasts and news programs is a disgrace. Trying to normalise a curse

[Neil Kearney @NeilKearney7]

@MarkHoward03 @vishalgandhi22 It doesn’t get any bigger than this Howie - no doubt you’ll enjoy every moment

@timlovibond @brentcostelloe Toe to toe on the Ross Bridge, Tim

@theprojecttv If ever a person deserves success, it is Ruva. Behind that engaging smile is a young woman who has worked tirelessly to be the best she can.
