HELPING to build a program from the ground up is part of what makes the prospect of playing for Tasmania so appealing, according to two established AFLW stars.

The Devils are on the hunt for players to help shape their inaugural AFLW list and the drawcard for players is getting to be a big part of something so historic. 

"There's massive momentum, you know that in Tasmania there will be massive crowds, there's that appeal in terms of being part of a historic event, you can help shape the club," Collingwood veteran Sarah Rowe told AFL.com.au's Tagged.

"I think for anyone, it's like when the four new clubs came into the competition a couple of years ago, it's an interesting time for a club, you get to be a part of something that’s new.

"Especially for older players coming in with experience, you know how it works, you know how to build a program and you can have influence in that. From that point of view, it would be a good shout for people to consider."

Collingwood vice-captain Jordyn Allen also believes there is "so much opportunity and so much potential" with the Devils.

Allen said that landing a superstar player from a rival club would help attract other players.

Richmond star Monique Conti has been floated as a potential option, given her relationship with Tigers men's player Rhyan Mansell, who hails from the Apple Isle.

"If you get a big fish like Mon Conti, that will attract other really quality players. I think that's the first move for Tassie to make, they've got to capture a big fish," Allen said.

Allen pointed to Sydney's recruitment of Chloe Molloy and Lucy McEvoy as a blueprint to achieve success. Landing those two stars helped the Swans to build momentum and other players want to play alongside stars of that calibre. 

"People want to play with those players because they know they'll get the best out of themselves around those players," Rowe said.
