Moss is 18 in Feb, he is 2025 draft.
Some of them may well have played in those positions, as guys like Ellen, Rafter and Dobbie were playing as bottom agers.

Presumably clubs will be well compensated for any they do lose. Tassie will probably be given half the first round picks across two drafts with the mandate they must trade them. Some fairly average players will probably net clubs a late first rounder.
I said earlier in this thread I can see us retiring/cutting/trading out 12 players in 2024 and 10 in 2025. A few people said that is too many. Well it might not be 22 players gone in 2 trade/delisting periods, but it will be close to it.

...lot of SANFL in 2024.
This is a bit selective. Whitlock was pick 33 and Moraes was pick 38, so let's look at the other top 40 picks.
TomMcCallum (hasn't shown anything to suggest he'll be an AFL player yet)
Dylan Williams (has played some good footy in previous years but was lucky not to...
Good luck to him if he plays some decent state league footy and ends up on the first tassie list he may as well shoot for it, it's better than working in a factory.
Even if TomMcCallum makes it onto the first Tassie list it would probably be as a token pick to make up the numbers as I suspect on disclosed form there is as much chance of the Tasmanian tiger being found alive and well than there is of him making the grade at AFL level.
Re nord signing him...

Looks like Nth if they keep 2, will draft a mid, if they do that, they will definitely trade F1, and take the best offer on the table for it, and draft a tall.
Sounds to be like the most reasonable option
If they attach Pick 2, to F1, they will get 2 top 20 picks, again this will be auctioned...
...of Tsatas until Wardlaw dropped that he’d be a North player in a press conference accidentally. We were basically only mocked to TomMcCallum in the 2nd round, and we picked George as BPA.

That’s a lot of names, who do you want if we are taking two?
I would rather we focus on players who have been delisted prematurely, say Hotton and Burgiel, its not common that players taken in the second round are cut so quickly, unless there is a few issues, I would rather take a chance on...
