So we have 23 Tassie players and 11 Irish players on 2023 AFL lists.
That's 34 players already.
Not too bad at all.
The other thing to remember is that despite huge investments there are still hardly any NSW or Qld players on AFL lists.
So a Tassie/Irish combo is likely to be quite fruitful in comparison in terms of talent.
Hardly any from NSW or QLD? There 64 out of 794 total listed players from those two states according to this. Just a tick over 8%. Your AFL team's state-by-state list breakdown
