Unlucky Souths. Second best alll day. Still a gap in quality

Of course there is a gap. Teams like Wollongong have significantly more money. Just look at their new Japanese signing who played today.

South certainly played well in patches and were probably the better team in the second half, but the overall speed & quality showed in the end. Very entertaining and enjoyable day despite the rain at Darcy Street.

If South want in the NSD they’ll have to improve lots… can’t wait to see Andy Brennan back next year!

South just played Long ball again and the big defenders deal with it easily. Need to change something or they will be knocked out very easily.

One would think Kasper Hallam & Alex Walter would have improved their chances today compared to some of the kids, respectfully… injuries?

South totally out played against a side the should beat a long way of .

National Second Tier quality playing a side that finished 8 in its respective league.

Was South's best chance of a result baring some dead rubbers at the end

Wasnt a bad performance just not up to it

2ns goal shouldnt have happened and might have been able to sneak a point

Need to get the best players in Tassie playing for the one club. Do whatever it takes. Call it Tassie something or other.

South Hobart simply not up to this level !

1300 people on a cold, wet day. The atmosphere was fantastic, especially when we equalised.

JJ will be sold out on Wednesday night again.

AFL tas has record membership for the Devils.

It shows Tasmanian’s love their sport and will follow.

Football Tasmania should enter a state team and all players go back to their club and season end .

It would work well that way we don’t have all players at one club much better for all clubs .

Hopefully Football Tasmania appointed a coach and press ahead with the idea .

South Hobart have the biggest payroll in Tasmania !

Don’t be tricked by their constant denial’s Morton and Kemp on $800 plus a game .

Nothing wrong with that just sick of the denial’s .

Everyone does it so no big deal !

The scary thing was that Japanese guy knew exactly how hard to hit that ball , south's are going to come up against a lot better than him in this comp

Anon 1047. That might be the case but it is well short of the payroll at clubs like the Wolves.

Yep, both injured.

We’re does all this money come from MSS ,Sponsorship events it’s seem’ an awful lot club’s have lost the plot in this area !

Why do south have another new kit

Agree great atmosphere, and enjoyable to watch

To me it’s a fantastic idea to bring back established clubs like south Hobart. Syd Olympic. Syd Croatia etc and get a national set up happening. We have been watching soulless new franchise A league football for a while now. The level of the comp is nowhere near A league but it should get bettter. Maybe a third division in the next ten years. Proper promotion and relegation. And played in Winter

And was on the bench in the Asian champions league final against Ronaldo THIS YEAR.

Sick of all the negative chat on here, we should all want south hobart to do well. They’re representing OUR state. Get down to the ground & support them, the better they do the better it is for the round ball game for EVERYONE involved.
