To date, the Gold Coast Suns have drafted at least one Tasmanian every year in which they have been able to.

2009
Luke Russell (underage)
Maverick Weller (underage)
Sam Iles (rookie)

2010
Jacob Gilbee (#49)

2011
Henry Schade (#24)
Aaron Hall (PSD)

2012
Jesse Lonergan (#13)

2013
Kade Kolodjashnij (#5)

It comes as no surprise that Gold Coast Suns list manager Scott Clayton hails from Hobart, Tasmania. So, will this trend continue at the 2014 AFL Draft? If so, how long will the Tasmania trend continue?
 
Throw some names out there? Which Tasmanians are looking good this year
I could only find two after a little bit of research. Mitchell Hibberd and Caleb Hislop. Hibberd is apparently about 190cm and is used on the wing/off half back. Can't really find anything on Hislop other than he is considered Tassie's best chance to get drafted. Unless you count Lauchie Weller?

Lachie Weller is a certainty to be drafted this year. I love his game, but I don't really know if he will make it to the SUNS draft pick or if the SUNS will be chasing more players of his ability.

Got a feeling we will draft big this year
