    😄 And, with years to prepare, I believe Chris Lorax has this lined up for tomorrow's back page: 'Is De Devil In De Tale?'

    That gets to the core of the matter

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

    Will the Filth still be paying his salary . . . just wondering out loud?

    There are currently 18 players in the comp that come from Tassie.

     

    For context there are 32 NSW/ACT players. But 22 of those are listed with GWS or Sydney. Also 32 Queenslanders in the comp with 20 listed as GCS or Brisbane.

     

    Hopefully with a bit of investment in Tasmanian footy, there can be an increase in that number of players.

    I actually really like the suggestion... its fair and makes sense and its not garanteeing players go one way or the other but also for players like hugh greenwood or liam jones who may not ever play 100 games at one club but could play 100 games of league footy their kids being eligible for tasmania seems like a fair negotiation

    I think they pay until the end of his current contract (end 2027)

    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.

    That could change very quickly with Brad and Robbo over 4 years and it's their sons making the decision after all anyway.

    On SEN they said that the kids can choose to F/S or the draft

    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

    Unless my memory is shot Neita was from Edithvale-Aspendale…you know, just beyond Mordialloc.

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

    I think Greens got a couple of gun kids at about 14-15 years old that he was coaching down at my sons club. Don’t know much more about the other players but I reckon we’d have first dibs opposed to a new club.

    I think people here might be looking at at the effect the Tassie team might have on the talent pool and our list are looking at it wrong. 
    With JT and Lamb heading our recruitment we should be looking at how we can use this to our advantage. 
    The new club will have a bounty of picks they are will to part with. Over the past lot of years our recruitment team has come out in top of a vast majority of trades we have been involved with. 
    On top of that we enter the this years draft with the strongest hand we have had in years. 
    Yes it will be a tricky time to manage our list going forward but with JT and Lamb making the calls I think we are better placed than anybody else to manage it very well.

    what a silly list. 

    the players they will target aren’t on an AFL list yet.  They reckon they’ll target a 33yo Jack Macrae? if he is even still playing

    no first dibs, if a kid is eligible under f/s rules to more than one club then it's up to the kid to nominate under f/s which club he prefers. alternatively he can not nominate and just go into the draft as a normal draftee.

    I count 24 personally. Still it's not as large as one would like. Tasmania may say the lack of numbers is due to the state being overlooked and taken for granted by the AFL so long. Hopefully with the introduction of a team, things will start to change.

     

    I for one am not as pessimistic about Tasmania's ability to retain players. Adelaide and Port Adelaide do a pretty good job at retaining players on their lists who come from outside of Adelaide. If you can convince someone in their 20's to stay in Adelaide, then you can convince someone in their 20's to stay in Hobart IMO. Just need to make sure the place has a good culture and has the right people in charge.

    He will be nearly 38 years old when Tasmania play their first game. An AFL player approaching middle age would be quite a rarity!

    I assume Greens kids won't be eligible for Tasmania, because he was recruited from Manchester!

    I pulled my data from here, have not confirmed it's accuracy.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
