How to tune into Sport NationThe Tasmanian footballers eligible for father-son selections
SEN • October 1st, 2025 7:59 pm
The Tasmania Devils have been granted their list concessions from the AFL ahead of their inaugural season in 2028.
Provided with a glut of draft picks, list spots and bonus cash, the Devils have plenty of scope to build a competitive team from the early stages of their AFL tenure.
However, the concessions also suggested a range of local future acquisitions, with the rights to Tasmanian products via Academy, and most importantly, access to father-son selections of players born in Tasmania.
This means that the sons of any AFL players that have played over 100 games in the competition will have the option to play for Tasmania given they make it to AFL level.
In the same manner as Joe Daniher in 2012, father-son players entering the competition with parents tied to one club will have the choice of playing for their father's club, or for Tasmania as a part of the AFL’s newest list admission.
With that being said, SEN.com.au has compiled a list of all 100-game Tasmanians whose sons (present or future) will be eligible for the Tasmania Devils via father-son selections.
