It was billed as a potential showdown between some AFL clubs and the league over Tasmania.
But instead of fireworks, today’s presidents meeting fell flat.

Privatisation of the BBL is far from greenlit, but crickets smallest state has some of the biggest and boldest plans.
A dive into privatisation plans, featuring the Hobart Hurricanes, Todd Greenberg and the scholarly @beastieboy07.

David Johnson will return to the @JackJumpers on a 1 year deal, the team says.
Johnson avg 12.8ppg, 2 ast, 4rbd on 42% FG for the 🐜 last season
The American was lauded at one point last year by the team as “arguably its best player”
Another big signing for the Tasmanians

The roster shuffle at the @jackjumpers continues.
6’11 Kiwi Ben Gold will join the team, following the departure of Kobe Williamson
‘Big Ben’ has most recently been with Marquette in the NCAA
He’s a handy reinforcement at centre behind Will Magnay

A shock, but also logical following Tas signing of Taran Armstrong and retention of Ben Ayre.
Rival teams have come knocking for Sean, who'll miss a chunk of the season through injury.
Clearly enough interest out there in him to warrant a mutually beneficial decoupling
Sean Macdonald and the Club have mutually parted ways to allow him to pursue other opportunities ahead of the NBL27.
The Tasmania JackJumpers sincerely thank Sean Macdonald for his time at the club and wish him all the best for his future.

Add Devils/Clarence ruck Max Mapley to the mid-season watchlist
Understand Melbourne and West Coast are amongst clubs to have enquired about the Tasmanian
200cm, 20 years old - 12d, 4t, 3clr, 18ho in 7 VFL games this season

Never been a better time to be an in-form State League ruck.
Uncertainty around Tim English, ACL for Oscar Steene.
Mid-Season Draft Tuesday - big ruck focus
West Adelaide 21yo Caleb May gaining strong interest. 208cm, SANFL State team. Ex-Swans Academy. Avg 40 hitouts last month

Tasmania's footy turf war has been won.
But with the Hawks evicted, the Devils - and AFL - now have a big responsibility to their northern heartland

Taran Armstrong is officially a JackJumper.
Pen put to paper this morning.
It’s a 1 year deal for the 24 year old with a player option for a second.
First Tasmanian to earn a full roster spot for the JJs.

A 1 year deal agreed to between Burnie boy Taran Armstrong and the @JackJumpers, per @OlgunUluc - however no formal signing yet.
A coup for the JJs upon pen being put to paper.
How much Taran can elevate his game under Scott Roth will be a fascinating watch

Star centre Will Magnay has re-signed with the Tasmania JackJumpers for a further 2 seasons.
Magnay has battled persistent injuries, but knocked back rival interest to remain with the JJs through the 27-28 season.
"Tassie is home and where I want to be" he said.

Horrible news coming out of the @JackJumpers
After completing a gruelling 8 month rehab of a torn left ACL, guard Sean MacDonald has re-injured it while participating in training this week.
MacDonald had just re-signed with the team, but scans have now revealed a tear in his ACL graft with a recovery timeline to be determined.
“It’s devastating. There’s no other word for it” club GM Darren Smith said.

1990? Not quite. But a win that’ll be spoken about for a long time
Tasmania re-enters the VFL with a 17 point win over Coburg
Jed Hagan is the find - 18d and 4.3 - a mid season draft chance

Devils look up for the fight in the VFL, but Coburg did kick the last 7 scores of the second term - including 3 goals - to roar back to life.
8.4.52 to 7.9.51 Tas lead at HT
Devils goals
Siggins 2, Dixon 2, Hagan, Leary, Payne, Mapley

No big surprises in the Devils inaugural VFL 23
19 of the 23 are Tasmanian, and 11 have never played a VFL game before
Exciting for the likes of Cox-Goodyer, Boag, Norton and Siggins who have dominated locally for a long time
