North Melbourne midfielder Finn O'Sullivan is prepared to turn down massive contract offers from the Tasmania Devils to sign a two-year extension with the Kangaroos.
O'Sullivan is being heavily courted by the Devils, who are putting together a list of targets ahead of their AFL entry in 2028.
It is understood, according to AFL Media, the young Roo has turned down offers worth eight years and close to $15 million.
O'Sullivan was set to be paired with Richmond's prized top pick Sam Lalor from the 2024 draft. Both were taken with the first two selections.
The Kangaroo has been a revelation in his first two seasons at Arden Street, playing 36 games in a range of roles. Alastair Clarkson has used O'Sullivan across the half-back, through the wing and in a run-with role, which he impressed in. But recently, he has taken a prominent midfield position.
He's also seen as a future leader of the Kangaroos, which appealed to the Devils.
Tasmania will get picks No, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 in the 2027 national draft, but they must trade picks 5, 7, 11 and 13 to other clubs for either players or other draft picks.
They can also sign up to 18 uncontracted players from rival clubs across 2027-28, with a maximum of one player per club.
"We can aim for the top. We can aim for as big as we can. We'll go after everything that's possible, and we'll make sure we give it a great shot. There'll be knock backs, there'll be turndowns, but there'll be some yesses. They have to be the right people, not just people," Hinkley said.
