    😄 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.

    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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
