St Kilda were lucky to play in the Thursday night game in Round 5. Very lucky.
While the Saints have copped a little bit of heat after their 86-point loss to Richmond, it wasn’t nearly enough for a team that was in the top six last season, had designs on a top-four position this year, and have lost twice in 13 days by 75 points or more.

The subject of Tasmania’s AFL expansion bid goes back 30 years to when the league was founded and it’s popped up in the news yet again.
This time, the Tasmanian government have given the AFL an ultimatum.
The AFL must give Tasmania a date for entry to the league, or the state government will end its lucrative multimillion-dollar funding deals to Hawthorn and North Melbourne. The risk, however, is that the AFL could look at their spreadsheets and reply, “computer says no.” In fact, the AFL have already told Tasmania in response that they need another year to establish the feasibility of a team because of the financial impact of COVID-19.

St Kilda has held talks with the Tasmanian government about a deal to play games in the state from next year.
The Saints are keen to explore a new formal arrangement for games down south as Tasmania threatens to dump $8 million worth of contracts with Hawthorn and North Melbourne.
Tasmania is still awaiting a response from the AFL after premier Peter Gutwein delivered his ultimatum – a timeline for a Tassie team or no negotiations with the Hawks and Roos on contracts that expire at the end of 2021.
