Their strategy, their whole master plan to house everyone and their bespoke options, are they going to have like a drop-down menu if you become part of the Tassie Devils?
I think it's really interesting, and I'm sure they're β
Every time a new side comes in, you learn from the one that's gone previously.
And I think the GWS Giants did a magnificent job of putting together options and having a hub of where they all live together.
And what the Devils are doing, Emma Doherty, who is the wife of Xavier Doherty, he was an off spinner, I think, for the Tasmanian cricket team.
She's the welfare chief.
So they're saying they're going to have a strategy that will be personalised.
for the 17-year-old draftees, elite established talent, and even the older 30-year-olds, and that they've got families that are just coming out and all offering to host and be host families for these young kids, because 17-year-old kids, they might need something different than those that are a bit more established.
So this is a really, really important part of what the Tassie Devils do.
You only get one chance to set this up properly, and I would imagine that Emma Doherty, who
that's the first time I've read her name, will be integral to whether this is a successful franchise or not.
You can't take a 17-year-old, though, can you?
They do.
They, after the grand final... They get access to 17-year-olds.
I'm pretty sure.
How many 17-year-olds have they got access to?
I don't know exactly, but that's what I read.
It's been a long time since I was 17.
What sort of accommodation would a 17-year-old be requiring?
Well, a 17-year-old guarantee would need to have stayed with a host family because I would have been unable to cater for myself at that stage in my life, Wisp.
