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.

Successful JobKeeper Program ‘Has to End’ in March: Frydenberg
Australian Treasurer Josh Frydenberg remains firm that the JobKeeper wage subsidy “has to end” in March as planned.
He said a Treasury review found JobKeeper is having perverse incentives on the employment market. In particular, it is preventing workers from moving freely between jobs.
“This successful and expensive program must end, but other policies will fill that place,” Frydenberg said, referring to initiatives such as infrastructure and business incentives, and tax cuts.
New figures show that 2.1 million workers and 520,000 businesses have left the wage subsidy scheme since September. with Frydenberg writing in a post on Twitter, “This is good news – Australians across the nation are getting back to work & our economic recovery is well underway.”
Federal Tourism Minister Dan Tehan insists he s itching to get back to Magnetic Island with his family. My grandparents went for their honeymoon on Magnetic Island, off Townsville, nearly 100 years ago, Tehan said this week. And ever since then, the family have been travelling, every winter, the family heads up there to holiday, uncles, aunts, you name it. And it s a wonderful destination, and, you know, I m incredibly fond of Magnetic Island because of that. Yet if Tehan and the rest of the Federal Government don t stop their recalcitrance about further support for Queensland tourism, there may not be much of an industry left to visit on Magnetic or at many of the Sunshine State s other idyllic destinations.
