The AFL should have let teams have a cat b rookie out of TAS, to give some playerAFL experience. Give TAS a group to pick from when they come into existence. Not all clubs would have bothered and not all would succeed but if it produced two-four players would have been worth it.
 
Potential access to top 10 VicM players with discounts will help them

I think I’d just give them very good picks in the 2027 AFL Draft but place limits on the following:
  • Amount of selections to be used in the 2027 AFL Draft. I’d suggest a number similar to Richmond’s 2024 Draft (around 7-9 picks)
  • Amount of 18 year olds on their senior list in 2028 (Slightly higher than above to allow for a few Tasmanians to be part of the group).

If there’s more talented Tasmanians than expected, I’d be happy enough to see players that are clearly senior list quality sitting on Tasmania’s Rookie list in 2028. They’d probably also be 19 and 20 year olds which wouldn’t count towards the above.

They’ll need a lot more draft picks than they’ll be allowed to use for this to work plus some very generous salary cap concessions. Ideally you’d want 20-25 players with AFL experience plus a bunch of very good mature aged state league talent on their list in 2028. Those levels weren’t realistic for Gold Coast and GWS but might be if the AFL does this right for Tasmania.

I hope they get as little as possible.
I think it's actually better for Freo if they get a lot of good picks, it will hurt other teams way more than Freo, we already have our talent for the next push. Taking talent away from our opponents is good for us.

I just don’t want to miss the top four or top two on percentage to a team that played Tasmania twice. I just know we won’t be the team that plays them twice - the AFL doesn’t help us like that.

What was our schedule for GCSs and GWS?

I guess my expectation is that given crowd size is going to be small it could easily be us. Not because AFL are doing us favours, but to do the opposite.
 
I recon the AFL will try force some fake rivalry between Norf and Tassie to make the kangas seems like they belong in the league.

Great call. The Roos should be ready to contend for finals by 2028 and with two easy extra wins they'll bump to top four.

So maybe we want to meet them in that qualifying final

We played both twice in 2016 in one of our worst ever seasons. GWS was top four that year. Gold Coast weren’t much better than us but we’re still established at that point.

2022 is the only other season (GWS) we’ve either of them twice.

It’s not about drawing crowds in Home and Away games - it’s about increasing revenue come finals time.
