I have colleagues that live down there and they enjoy it but at the same time they love coming to the mainland. Most young men would prefer a city close to their family. Geelong is driving distance to Melbourne. Hobart isnt.

Global Warming alone will make Tassie far more desirable than the majority of the East Coast
It’s a quieter life, but they would have enough disposable income to use flights as an Uber. Can just see it being the perfect fit for a strong portion of the league and wanting a different type home.

I'm 29, I love Tassie... sometimes. Food, distillery tours. It's nice for a get away but I wouldn't want to live there and I'm hardly a party animal. Blokes in their 20s aren't going to be as keen on Tassie as you seem to think.
Agree. But players will not like getting on a bus for a 3 hour each way trip 4 or 5 times a year and will quickly tire of playing in front of similar crowds to GC and GWS. Young men would actually want an actual night life as well. Player retention will be a massive problem. Might at least take a few players from joining Geelong for those that like the slow pace.
We should get ahead and buy up all the land in Tasmania so we can package it up to trade with Tasmania for draft picksJeremy Cameron trade incoming. Cows and all
Most young people move away from the country. Not saying city life is for everyone but it’s for most people.

C'mon no night life in Tas is just a wrong call, plenty of options in Hobart. You make it sound like pubs/clubs close at 9pm.
Tassie is not for everyone but i am not sure the bus trip north is a deal breaker

I would rather do the longer Hobart to Launceston drive than deal with the utterly frustrating gauntlet of moron drivers you get driving on the Princes Highway to/from Geelong.
Please give me some options as I can’t find any!

You must be using an ancient search engine if you can't find any options

Going to be funny if JHF is stuck at North
Port not budging, North not budging, AFL blocking trades. Will end in tears

Apparently Clarko may force him to his contract. Wow.

If I'm North I'm trading him, you don't want him staying at the club sulking all year.
Kid will be a star, but seems the sort that will be half arsed if kept somewhere he doesn't want to be.

What a rabble Norf are. Managing to lose 2 #1 picks in the same draft.
Finish last in both 2021 and 2022, with no #1 to show for it lol

Is it that bad? GWS clearly have their eyes on someone that North don’t want anyway - I assume they discussed who GWS will be taking.
So pick 2 is the same as pick 1 for north.
Pick 3 plus a future first is what they get for JHF.
They will turn one number 1 draft pick into 3 top talents assuming they pick well. That is ok isn’t it?

Honestly don't think 2,3 and a future 1st for pick 1 and 1 is that bad.
