Tasmania's Macquarie Point Stadium securing the necessary parliamentary support to be built has confirmed the Devils' entrance into the AFL in 2028.
It will enable Tasmania to continue going full steam ahead with their list build and start to formulate a hit list of targets to bring in for the club's inaugural year.
The Devils can trade in up to 18 out-of-contract AFL players, with a maximum of one player per club.
While there are bigger names than the 10 we've listed, we've provided names which are viewed as gettable or would suit Tasmania for a specific reason.
The Tasmanians
Alex Pearce, Brody Mihocek and Sam Banks come out of contract in 2027, but for different reasons, all would be unlikely to feature for Tasmania. Pearce will be 33 in 2028 and would be the most likely of the bunch, but the current Fremantle skipper may be just about out of puff. So too Mihocek who will be 35, and while his late start could herald hope he can play until he's older, the forward's crash and bash style will likely limit him. Banks, meanwhile, has repeatedly affirmed his commitment to Richmond, and the lure of home is less pertinent, given he is from the Northwest, more than three hours from Hobart. As previously mentioned, Nankervis comes out of contract at the end of 2026 and may sign for a further season but would also struggle to play into 2028.
