Not sure how much it really helps them, they don't have the same retention issues as GC. I guess it gives them another avenue to meet the salary cap floor other than overpaying ordinary players?

It's better than giving them another top 5 pick.
They also have had some long term injuries to players they have hoped to pin their future on (Comben, Perez etc) so I think it makes sense they are asking for a couple of extra spots.

Yeah, I'm not advocating for giving them more
I imagine it's part of a broader assistance package they're after, but the extra list spot component wouldn't worry me at all. Don't think they can really abuse it given they struggle to attract talent anyway, and if it means they can recruit a few more mature stopgaps for a few years while they hit the draft then good luck to them.

North Melbourne were in back to back PF’s in 2014 and 2015, they won 12 and 10 games in 2018 and 2019 respectively. We won 12 games this year and you’d have to go right back to 2013 to find another season with 10 or more wins. Between 2014 and 2022, NM have won 76 games. Between 2014 and 2022, we have won 60 games.
Are they really asking for assistance? That club doesn’t know what rock bottom is yet.

They should only be given access to State League players like we were.
They created their own mess by delisting in the vicinity of 20+ players and the AFL should not be even consider granting their request for extra list spots. WTF!
NO PP!

I would give it to them…
As long as they move to Tassie and use the local leagues for top ups…

Just trying to get them to Tassie, god knows they will never amount to anything in Victoria with their membership base!
They can use the local comp as feeder for the first 2 seasons. It will give the AFL some much needed credits in the great state of Tasmania…

Why should them getting a PP be conditional on them moving to Tasmania ?
Tassie deserve their own start up team with no previous history or identity.
Not really a big issue I think if they get an end of first round pick (19) and a couple of extra spots on the list.

Maybe not a big issue for you but it's totally unfair to 17 other Clubs if they are granted a couple of extra rookie spots.
The absolute double standards of the AFL when they “invented” that access to 2 state league player bullshit so they wouldn’t have to give us a priority pick - a priority pick that they do desperately wanted to give to Gold Coast but so desperately didn’t want to give to us.
