A different ruck isn't going to be the difference between contending or not.

Sure, but having noone developing given he's getting old and his performance is dropping off is a problem.

Yep, I think we're a good chance to get Sharp

As you said, the SA kids tend to slide during their draft year. And our 1st round pick usually ends up much earlier than we thought.

The twain shall meet

I'd normally agree with this, but the top SA player has mostly held their draft position for the past few years - no idea if that's a coincidence or a trend.

Us generally having a pick near the top of the draft has probably helped that.

Ok, I have asked this on a number of places but can't get an answer.
If there is an U17 kid tied to a club via FS or Academy, and Tasmania gets the pick of the U17s for their initial squads, who gets preference on the kid?

I guess it depends on what mechanisms the AFL uses, when building the Tasmanian team's list.

If players are pre-listed, and not taken through the draft directly, then I guess Tasmania would have preference. However, the kid would almost certainly have to agree to the arrangement, so they could still opt out and end up at their FS/Academy club.

I suspect the AFL will go down a similar path to what they did when GWS & GC joined the competition, back in 2010 & 2011. These clubs were allowed to pre-list some players from their respective zones (e.g. QLD & NT for GC), and were given a raft of 1st round picks to use. If that's the case, then the legacy clubs would still be able to match any Tasmanian bids on their FS/Academy players, just as they can today.

As a general rule, if a kid is eligible for FS/Academy selection by multiple clubs, then it's up to the player to decide which club they will go with. I see no reason why things would be any different with Tasmania.

Here's a BF thread discussing the Gold Coast startup concessions - the first couple of posts are actually more comprehensive than anything remaining on the rest of the internet.

That should give you some idea of what to expect when Tasmania is added to the competition.

Again, I don't believe there would be any precedence as far as Tasmania vs legacy FS/Academy rights. The final determination will be made by the kid, as it is today.

Yeah I think there is the Twomey factor to consider

'' Hey Reidy what are the club looking at at pick 4 and is Sid a chance''

' hey Cal yeah of course Sid is up there in our thinking '

'' hey Reidy what are the club looking at for pick 11 and is Dyson a chance? ''

' yeah Cal of course we hope Dyson gets to us '
