But we showed everyone in the 23 GF that's not always the case

So every team gets creamed by the umpires in Perth. Good teams, bad teams, fair teams and those teams that play on the edge.

Gold Coast have the magic "I'm owned by the AFL Formula" and lead the free kicks 7-0 at quarter time

Or is just a coincidence?

23 inside 50’s to 4 in first quarter.. wowee

A bit of that. And a bit of Weagles are absolutely putrid. One of the worst sides i've ever seen. They will be ruing not pushing a harder bargain to split the harley reid pick into 4 first rounders. He is playing like hes got one foot out the door already. imagine 4 young talents running around, not one. They missed the beat there, plus trading pick 3 for a whole lot of nothing. Genuine rabble of a club

They couldn't possibly play the high octane football that they play today. Surely the AFL would have to take the hit and cancel the game.

They used the extreme weather policy on Saturday with longer breaks etc. They can “consider” rescheduling/cancelling. My guess is they would go for a night time rescheduling if it was a proper stinker.

Under the current iteration of Tasmania's list rules, the club will be given around a dozen first-round picks over its first three years, with the majority set for the 2027 draft ahead of its proposed start in the AFL in 2028.


However, at this point, the Devils' draft hand doesn't include the No.1 pick that year – with six picks inside the first 13 slated for the maiden year. Whether club feedback in coming months could sway the AFL into giving the Devils the No.1 pick remains to be seen, with clubs anticipating the full hand to be confirmed around mid-season.


The AFL will also put caveats on a number of those to be traded for experienced players, but the picks could be held over for multiple years if no player/s worthy of the selection are considered to be available and 'jackpot' in value.


There will be a cap placed on how many draft points those picks can be traded for under the Draft Value Index, which is meant to encourage Tasmania to trade the picks for players and enable better competitiveness early, rather than stockpiling more picks.


Among the other list concessions being workshopped for Tasmania's entry into the competition are:

• Access to uncontracted players as 'free agents' across two trade periods. A maximum of one player from every club, with the clubs that lose players to be given draft compensation picks.
• A sign-on bonus fund of more up to $1 million to help attract players.
• Access to Tasmanian father-son selections.
• Access to Tasmania as an Academy zone.
• Access to multiple Tasmanian prospects eligible for the 2026 draft who can opt to sign with the Devils instead of entering that year's draft. Instead they would play in the VFL the following year, ahead of the Devils' AFL debut in 2028.
• Multiple early selections in rookie and mid-season drafts.
• Selections at the start of rounds two onwards in the draft.

Draft pick 'jackpot', 17-year-old mini-draft: Tassie list rules take shape

The AFL is getting closer to finalising the list build rules that Tasmania will use to form its inaugural squad

Doesn't sound like it'll affect our NGA academy access at least.

To my eyes, opening round, which may make sense in a promotional context, is a terrible addition to the AFL calendar. Besides the incursion into weather unsuited to football, it is an insertion an extra unfairness into an already distorted fixturing system. Watching the round one games that involved teams that had and hadn't played in round 0, it was very clear that those that had played early had a big advantage over those that didn't. Depending on the opposition, some overcame it (Brisbane) and some didn't (Port Adelaide, Melbourne) Whichever way the results went, the contest was not fair, and the unfairness is totally down to an AFL decision. Other unfair structures, like the distribution of double up matches among clubs could only be removed by a complete restructure of the competition into divisions or something similar. Opening round could be removed at the stroke of a pen, and the system would be the better for it. We know it won't happen, because the dollar is far more important than fairness.
