[freddy mercury]

When exactly will they be in the AFL??

Can’t see it happening for a long time. Afl need to first recover from the Covid years before even being able to think about it I’d be shocked if it was within 5 years

 

[Gibbke]

Who's going to be Gary Ablett in 2024 and coming off contract? That's the first signing, and hopefully the second and third. The current Devils Kids should be the next bundle, a full team developed over the next few years with a view to five of them making the new team at best. Several priority draft picks, and then we fill it up...

Given the amount of rebuilds GC went through, Tassie would be dumb to go all in for one player.

Follow GWS's lead and spread it out over several positions.

Nick Riewoldt?

He will be head of football

 

[fargothegreat]

Sam Banks is developing nicely in the VFL off no preseason in his first year. The kid speaks like a future captain and could be one to keep an eye on.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Sam Banks with Mystate. I can see the ads already.

Pass.

 

[gungho]

Wouldn't mind getting Matthew Mcguinness, Patrick Walker, Riley Sanders, Oliver Davis, Tarryn Thomas and a few other Tasmanian's at the start of their inaugural season

The name you are searching for is Alex Pearce.

Would love it! Hopefully he has a premiership at Fremantle by then. So sad Jeremy Howe will be too old to be playing for us and taking hangers wearing the map

 

[Truetiger]

Hopefully they can continue to keep players, and not have the go home factor like GC and the GWS. Interesting to see which players they end up with.

Yes theres other older Tassie players in the AFL, but they will be to old by the time Tassie gets ins.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Those potential signings are fairly lacklustre

 

[Jazny]

We are going to need to keep having good draft years like this year looks, and last year was. Next year looks a little leaner, but Tassie development academies are about to be overfunded after a generation of neglect!

I always thought Nick Riewoldt was being groomed to be the inaugural president of the club or at least some kind of high end admin position.

Zane Littlejohn is a Tasmanian that Fagan brought up to the Lions quite a few years ago as a development coach and always spoke really well and I believe was also from a teaching background and I understand is now coaching Box Hill Hawks or doing something with them. I'd be shocked if Zane wasnt involved somehow.

This article was from a few years ago about the Tasmanians at the Lions at the time. David Noble would also have to be in contention with Brendan Gale

The Lions' Tasmanian influence

Six proud Tasmanians have returned to their home state for the Lions’ 2020 pre-season camp.

Also recent interview with him at the Hawks

Probably.

He'll be 35 years old by the time the 2027 AFLM Draft comes around.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Just clarifying something.

Is this talking about off-field, on-field or both?
