i know that 2027 is the draft that Tassie is supposed to have to set up their team.
However, will there be a Tassie team if there is no Stadium??

I’m conscious this thread is meant to be about us BluStreak. You will have a definitive answer on the stadium in the next few weeks. My view is it is looking likely to proceed. But as a Tasmanian I can say that Tassie politics is filled with a history of surprises.

Thats cool. I know the thread is about us but every poster seems to be discounting our 2027 picks because of it being the Tassie draft. Sure politics is unfathomable at the best of times, just working off the existing info at moment. It maybe delayed to another year so that the stadium is ready.
The stadium wont be ready for R1 2028 anyway. The plan is for Tassie to play out of other venues the first year. So far the AFL have pushed ahead regardless.
Itll be interesting what the AFL does if the vote goes against the stadium. If they keep pushing for R1 2028 anyway, they will quickly lose all leverage.

I personally think a delay to the team’s is the least likely option. I can see the stadium not being ready until after 2029. But the more likely option (if it goes ahead) is that the AFL would keep the start date the same and extend them at Bellerive until 2030 or 2031.
For a start, the Devils get underway in the VFL next year. They’ve got a lot of their off field staff in place for the main game. There is a women’s team whose establishment is underway.
So I think it’s a case the Devils are in or out. But I don’t see a delay.
Amen. I know people are very keen to see success in next 2-3 years but we’re in a pretty unique position here. We can set this team up for the next decade.

That's obfuscation, surely?
The worry is that sticking too strictly to the Dean cause, despite high bids, might stop us from 'setting this team up for the next decade'. At any rate, I don't want to take another first round selection this year, I want more points for next year and to draft one (or even two) 'diamonds in the rough' a bit later on. If we are committed to Dean and Walker, we might have to start backing ourselves in with later selections, we might as well start now. Heck - some of the b-graders we have now aren't going to cut the mustard long-term.

I don't give a crap about your a***! I didn't say it was deliberate but it goes on all the time, to keep things upbeat.

Or we know it’s going to get eaten up with a high bid. Hopefully we trade 9 or 11 for a future first, trade the other for points then hopefully trade back in to a player we like with Sydney’s 2026 pick. Would still leave us 2 2026 and 2027 first rounders

It's called the Peter Dean Academy folks.
I would make peace with the fact that we are selecting Harry Dean regardless of where the bid comes for him.
If other teams rate him high enough to bid early, it only strengthens the argument that we have a good one here.

If Cowan leaves and gets a million dollar sign on bonus you can add another top 10 pick to the tally.
If early bid comes in it’s good. I think we will have a few scenarios in place depending upon bids

We have multiple first rounders and later picks for the next two years as well. Suspect someone would throw us a late second or early third for what the perceive to be a favourable swap of future picks. And if we get lucky and sort our shit out, that future swap might end up favouring us and then we win twice over.

More likely that we just rate the 2026 draft far higher.
There was mention that we’re also quite interested in this years draft pool as well.

Question:
Why is Tairon Ah-Mu not more highly considered?
Concern about man amongst boys? Endurance? Agility?
Reminds me of a Gherig

Gehrig was much faster. Ah-Mu is a mauler ruck who wants to play forward.
Mobility and endurance are a concern no matter which way that goes.

Agree. Watched both him and his brother closely, my son is in the program. Good kids with lots of raw ability. Interesting to see how they go
I absolutely expect Lachie to go home, but by then he will be one of our major players and be worth a mint, we won't loose there

He’s signed beyond Tassie coming into the comp?
They have special access to out of contract players for 2 years and he's out of contract after their 1st year.
We would have thought so when he signed but AFL have made it, so Tassie can sign uncontracted players for their first 2 years.
If we think hes going to leave we need to push him into making that decision at end of 2027, so we can trade him under contract.

Why? We get a compensation pick, and a floating one at that, where we can pick what year it falls into (presumably in a 2 or 3 year range).
