Brodie Grundy just turned 29 so will be 34 at this stage of the 2028 season so would likely be a short term prospect.

    A lot of water to go under the bridge before the Tassy team takes the field. Only god knows who’ll be available by then.

    I honestly am not worried about the Melbourne players on that list.

    I doubt Rivers or Kosi will want to move to Tassie (if anything they'll want to move back home), and Grundy will be 34. If they want a 34 year old ruck, they can have him and we will take a good compensation pick back. 

    The only way I see Kosi going to Tassie is if they throw an insane amount of money at him. Still, he doesn't strike me as someone motivated all that much by money, and I am sure no matter where he plays he will make a lot of money. 

    I actually see Ben Brown post retirement going there to coach. He is from Tassie, and is already involved in coaching at AFLW level. Same for Jack Reiwoldt, unless of course he is set on a media career post footy.

    The comment made by Sicily a week or so back is 100% correct (the only issue was Tasmania is the clubs major sponsor) Tassie will struggle to get and hold players. Long term it will end up being a team mostly made up of Tasmanians.

    Kossie is the main worry. The introduction of Tassie will certainly push his price up wherever he plays. I don't believe the chill of Tasmania will affect his decision, he'd move to Brisbane or GC if that were the case

    The father son/daughter rule might sting us. Russell Robertson, David Neitz, Brad Green, Col Garland and Jeremy Howe all played 100 games for MFC and are from Tassie

    Dangerfield was advocating for 1 contracted player from each club being able to break contract and head to Devil land.

    ......except from Geelong of course. Imagine the reaction if Cameron or Stengle was told to clean out their locker.

    He was saying the onus was on the existing clubs to make sure the environment was one where players wanted to stay.

    I don't think he understood that it would result in Tassie taking players off the bottom clubs, creating other problems for the competition.

    They could get De Goey on a bumper contract that includes being an exhibit at Dark Mofo.

    Neita only has girls FYI (so it will impact AFLW only) and Howe would also quality at Pies.

    Does Garland even have kids?

    I wonder if the F/S rule for Tassie will mean that the kids coming through will have a choice, rather than being 'forced' to only go to Tassie? 

    I can't imagine, if given the choice, that Robbo or Green's boys will pick Tassie, given both their families are in Melbourne and both their dads are heavily involved at the club.

    Neitz was from Tassie? I never knew that.

    Yes they can PF because the AFL is bankrolling the team.

    The compilers of this wish list would be better off making a list of current players who come from Tassie. If all the radio talkback of the last week has any grounding in reality (yes, I know), such players would be champing at the bit to get back there.

    De Goey would be the type of dude to fly in/out of Tassie each day rather than live there

    No

    The Tasmanian taxpayer is bankrolling this team.

    Tassie didn't get a great deal compared to GWS and GCS

    At least they were spared a licence fee of $4M approx that Adelaide and others paid

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
