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.

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.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
