The push for a Tasmanian A-League team is gaining high-powered support, with independent Denison MP Andrew Wilkie meeting Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Wednesday to discuss the proposal.Wilkie is seeking federal government funds for a redevelopment of North Hobart Oval, where the new club would be based.Mr Turnbull will consider the matter, according to a statement released by Wilkie, who said he would continue to look for opportunities to champion Tasmanias A-League bid at a federal level.I see the main way in which the Commonwealth could assist the bid is by providing funding for the redevelopment of the North Hobart Oval, which would become the home of the new club, Wilkie told AAP.Its currently used for Aussie Rules and my understanding is that it would remain a multi-use oval.Football Federation Australia is currently drawing up a set of criteria for A-League expansion bids, which will be released early next year.However, Tasmania has emerged as an unlikely early frontrunner.Former Melbourne Victory shareholders Robert Belteky and Harry Stamoulis are the money men behind the bid and believe a Tasmanian team can attract crowds of between 8000 and 10,000 every week.They believe the team can be ready for next season and have committed to securing at least one marquee player.Games would be split between Hobarts Blundstone Arena and Launcestons Aurora Stadium, presumably until North Hobart Oval is redeveloped.Tasmanias only current national sporting representation is in cricket, through the states Sheffield Shield team and Big Bash League franchise Hobart Hurricanes.The passion for football in Tasmania is severely underestimated by people who havent spent the time there, Belteky told SEN Radios World of Football program.We think we offer a lot more to the game than just bringing football to Tasmania, we believe it would also add to the game holistically and overall.Belteky also believes contrary to popular opinion, a Tasmanian team would actually be a boon for broadcasters.Our view is a state of 500,000 people that have had no access to supporting their own football club, the take-up on Fox Sports subscriptions would be huge, he said.We think that would add a lot to the game financially as well.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- The Netherlands doesnt get humiliated often in mens field hockey.When it happens, the Dutch dont forget.Armed with memories from a blowout loss to Australia in the World Cup Final in 2014, the Netherlands took control from the start of their Olympic quarterfinal match. Billy Bakker scored 49 seconds into the match to set the tone in a 4-0 victory on Sunday.The energy we had -- maybe for some guys, the way we lost the World Cup Final was in the back of their heads, Dutch player Bob de Voogd said, referring to the 6-1 loss. The energy we had, the desire to go to the semifinal, was really big today.Australia coach Graham Reid knew what was happening right away.That game was probably two years in the making, Reid said. That World Cup -- there was a fair few of those boys who were out there tonight who had that deep-seated want for revenge.The quarterfinal matched the worlds top two teams, something the second-ranked Dutch didnt expect so early. But top-ranked Australia slipped and finished third in its pool.It was pretty surprising, Dutch player Sander Baart said. I think Australia didnt show their best hockey in the Pool A, and thats why we faced them in the quarterfinals right now, because we played quite all right in our pool.The Australians had medaled in six consecutive Olympics, claiming gold in 2004 and bronze in 2008 and 2012.Its a disappointing thing to ggo out in the quarterfinals, Reid said.dddddddddddd You get those opportunities once every four years, and all the things weve done over the past four years have put us in a position where you feel as though everything is in the right place.The Dutch advanced to play Belgium in the semifinals on Tuesday. Belgium defeated India 3-1 earlier in the day.After Bakkers early goal, Australia dominated possession in the second period, but the Netherlands consistently made good defensive plays in the circle. The Dutch then added to their lead when de Voogd knocked one in late in the second.Valentin Verga scored for the Dutch early in the third period, and Mink van der Weerden added another goal early in the fourth.It feels pretty strong, de Voogd said. The control we had in the game there -- the focus. We stayed together the whole time. We prepared so good for this game, we know what our plan was and we executed what we had to do.Goalie Jaap Stockmann registered the shutout for the Netherlands. Now, the Dutch can focus on neighboring Belgium, a nation they play often.We know that they are a really good team, De Voogd said. They showed it right from the start in the tournament. Theyre playing really good hockey.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter (at)CliffBruntAP ' ' '
