Austin himself mentioned the club was looking at ways to trade up the draft order. And mentioned next year's pick being involved. Strange post.

The club cannot trade our future first unless we get another one in as we have already traded our future third for Acres, and the AFL are heavy on that as Port found out with the original attempt at the proposed "mega deal".....
Save a spot for Feb or midseason draft

That’s why there is a future 3rd thrown in aswellThe club cannot trade our future first unless we get another one in as we have already traded our future third for Acres, and the AFL are heavy on that as Port found out with the original attempt at the proposed "mega deal".....
We don’t have spare money to go and get an established player that warrants the quality of those picks.
Take a kid in the draft you get 2 years at base then a further 3-4 at less the 500K.
You give up either or both of those picks for an established player with similar skills, it will cost 700+
This rumour legitA deal id pull the trigger on in a heartbeat if North accepted it would be 10, 49 and Williams to North for 3.

A Tassie team would have brought in revenue too, if they had been allowed in. And there’s a fair bet the AFL gave a nod and a wink to a Tassie team in the most recent tv rights negotiations too.
I don’t know where you’re from Elmer, but Colin Carter (Tassie report author) summed it up the other day. Many Victorians just don’t get how much a team means to the other traditional football states. It meant a heap to WA and SA, and it will mean a heap to Tassie.
I agree the draft rate hasn’t been good in the past 10-15 years. What people forget is that money which would have gone to Tassie talent pathways went to NSW and Qld instead. The AFL basically let Tassie whither on the vine to prop up its emerging markets.
Then, the worst thing that could have happened. North Melbourne went down there. You only have to look for a few seconds at the history of this leech of a club to see how they bleed their expansion markets dry at the prospect of sustaining themselves in their home market. As far as I’m concerned, one of the greatest things about a Tassie team will be that North are kicked back into the Melbourne market, where they will be forced to sink or swim (unless they go and fleece the NT system).
As a Tasmanian born and bred, who has lived in Brisbane for the last 16 years, I’ll tell you right now that I’m going to be pleased as punch when we get the green light. It will mean so much to that state.
Are your fingers sore from spelling out common sense?
Given the success rate of 3 Rd round picks, I would rather pull someone out of State leagues like a Boyd, Cahill or Cinotta.
Rather find someone who excels at that level than waste 2 years on someone who is not
I bow to your superior knowledge oh humble one. Pfft.
An episode I wouldn’t recommend to a police officer though. Holy s**t.
Interesting that there is confirmation of us wanting to draft Ben but Norf got in there first. I can definitely see our club making a play for Ben next year.
I’m calling it. I reckon the smart arse element that would take the piss out of a young kid trying to do extra training centred around Kade Simpson.

Looked great, small sample size. Probably still under the radar. Another year in the twos shouldn’t hurt.
They finally did a great job with our 2 nds getting AFL quality players in the VFL. Hayes, Cahill, North, Hadley, Radovanovic Maher, Lieu.
Compare that to when we had Wilkinson and Anthony as they VFL listed players

We can do that without rookie'ing Ed.
Go for a 37/5 senior/rookie split rather than a 36/6. Really doesn't matter either way.

Ollie Henry is willing to enter the draft of a trade can’t be done to the cats, if his available would love him in navy blue
A little.
Hoping to upgrade to voice notes for next years trade period.
The ability to leave voice messages as replies to a forum would be both awesome and hell on earth. I love it.

I'm calling it. Reckon you have no idea as to whether that is true and just took the opportunity to try and besmirch a bloke who played 300+ games for the club and tried his guts out for a club that basically gave him no success in return.
