AFL:AFL confirms Devils' full list concessions

Tasmania will have priority access to local prospects ahead of their first four AFL drafts - on top of their generous suite of picks - under a raft of list concessions granted to the expansion club.

The AFL last year announced key features of the Devils' recruiting rules, including a $5 million signing bonus fund, access to out-of-contract players and a range of first-round draft selections to use and trade.

On Tuesday, the league confirmed the full details for Tasmania's list build ahead of their planned entry to the national competition in 2028.

The Devils will have pre-draft access to eligible Tasmanian players ahead of the 2027-2030 drafts, and then after the first round of the draft in 2031-2032.

From 2033, they will have to match bids for local academy players under the system that already applies to the rest of the league.
