How will Tasmania build its inaugural AFL list with its first 17-year-old prospects?
Wanna start with Tazi, 'cause it's a pivotal day in the history of the Tasmanian football club. Tonight seven of the country's best seventeen year old draft prospects will head down to Tasmania to be announced as the very first devils. Mm, I believe they're already there.
So a huge uh gala event happening tonight and uh Yeah, it's it's a fantastic moment for the Devils to be able to unveil their first batch of official players and these guys are gonna be the the the the rocks to what they build from here because this can really make up what you do as a footy club and as a as a list team because if you can get this right, like the Giants were able to with Jeremy Cameron and Adam Trelaw, Dylan Scheel as part of that, if you can manage to to land a few superstars out of this batch and Tasmania's been given better access to the full year of uh under seventeens, whereas in the Giants and the the Suns case they didn't have access to the full uh gamut of guys. So yeah, this is uh a big part of their build and it's crossed two years as well.
So yeah, the the the first batch will be tonight and then they'll be able to add more seventeen year olds next year.
Why is Tasmania targeting St Kilda forward Max Hall as a potential recruit?
But right across the season they've also been targeting established players from across the competition for the best part of twelve months now we know they've set their sights far and wide across the competition and you've got a new name that's on their their watch list.
Yeah, so as Tasmania scales the competition for its first set of rival editions, uh a new name can be added to the Devil's watch list. That is Max Hall from St Kilda. So Max Hall is out of contract at the end of next year. There have been early discussions had on an extension past that for St Kilda. We've reported that uh across the year in AFL dot com.au's inside trading. Hall's starting point and view at the moment is that he wants to stay at the Saints and get something done. That's that's where it stands. But we can say that he is a target for the Devils, who have signaled their interest in Max Hall. Given he's out of contract at the end of 2027, he qualifies as a free agent to Tasmania. All c out of contract players can be accessed as free agents for the Devils and the Devils only.
Of course, he's not a free agent to anybody else. He would just be out of contract at the end of 2027. The interesting twist on that though is that Tasmania only has access to
How do Tasmania’s AFL free-agent rules affect targets like Max Hall and Alex Tarou?
One out of contract player as a free agent per club. So they've also met with Alex Tarou and are chasing him uh next year as well. He, of course, is a Sink Hilda teammate off Max Hall. Now, if they got down the path where they were really keen on both of them, clearly they could use one of their or two of their picks to trade for one of them and get another as a free agent. But they're in for a number of players across the competition. I don't think this has progressed to the point. Of uh big offer meetings and all the rest uh at this stage. As I say, the the starting point for Max Hall is to remain at St Kilda. He's pretty locked in in terms of uh Victoria and his farm that he's bought. Josh Gablish did a great story on him and his farm uh a couple of months ago on afl.com.au.
So there's that sort of lock-in there. And and St Kilda was the club that gave him his opportunity as well. He's been a revelation since. He was a midseason pick in 2024. Played every game for the Saints over the past couple of years, kicked 26 goals this year. And he's keen to stay at the Saints, but the devils have been circling and Uh, that's where things are at at the moment. I think he's St
Kilda's second best player. Personally. Yeah. Behind behind Naz. Uh and I think he has been for the best part of two years now.
What contract could Max Hall command, and would he stay at St Kilda?
I he he's an interesting contract value, I think, Max Hall, because of what they've paid so many other people at that football club who he has subsequently outperformed for the best part of two years, as I mentioned. So like, does he hit the one million dollar mark? I I like I think he s personally should, but Does he have to leave a bit on the table if he stays at St Kilda in comparison to heading off to Tassie?
