I'm a fan of there being a Tasmanian team.

I do wonder however, if they are happy with a 35k stadium, why aren't we convincing a Minnow to move to Regional Vic ?

Or alternatively a 20th not in a Capital City (I mean getting rid of 1)

This is why.

What are logical mergers?

Hawthorn - St Kilda
Nth Melbourne - Bulldogs
Nth Melbourne - Carlton
Nth Melbourne - Essendon

Port and Collingwood. Would solve an annual pointless debate.

Nth and Ess. Ha. Their colours would be pink and white, logo marshmallows.
 
I’m very against having a competition with an uneven number of teams.

Need to bring in a 20th team in 2028 or one of clubs will get the boot.

I think AFL learned from bringing in GC and GWS too close together.

Seems Tas team will enter 2028, so would anticipate a 20th team around 2032/2033.

I expect WA will push hard for a 3rd team. They have the population and $ to support it. I believe a 3rd team there would gain sufficient public support.

So they'll probably try to start assembling the squad in '25/'26 to play in the VFL to start getting ready, with non-match-able offers to out of contract players in the same years.

'25/'26 drafts would probably be cactus for every one else also.
Interesting. As we are building our side now.... to contend over the next 5+ years, we have to smash the draft and not rely on pics from those years. Maybe we are lucky.
 
Not sure we have lost out in trading with them. Rankine, Greenwood about right, Atkins FA compo about right.
Its more that we have been one of the few sides to pay full tote odds for their players and they have got ours on the cheap - Bock, Greenwood, Lyons

Yes Rankine for pick 5 on the face of it sounds about right..but in the same trade window they gave pick 7 and a former 1st round picked player to Geelong for a 3rd rounder as a salary dump.
