WATCH: Field of Dreams finalistsThe player at each AFL club Tassie should target in 2027/28
SEN • November 17th, 2025 2:30 pm
As part of the Tasmania Devils’ list concessions, they'll be able to sign a maximum of one uncontracted player per club essentially as a free agent across the 2027 and 2028 AFL off-seasons.
SEN Tassie Breakfast's Brent Costelloe and former Essendon and Brisbane small forward Josh Green named the uncontracted players in ‘27 and ‘28 from each club they’d sign to the Devils if they were in charge.
The boys were not considering salary cap, simply putting forward the players they’d like in Tassie colours.
“It’s going to be tricky to fit them all in the salary cap,” Costelloe admitted.
Riley Thilthorpe
Green: “You obviously want to build your spine. The full-forward who had a really good year is the one from Adelaide for me.”
Darcy Wilmot
Green: “Bit of spunk, young, drive off half-back which is important, uses it quite well.”
Lachie Cowan
Green: “I don’t think we’d get Jagga Smith, so I’d go Lachie, the Tassie boy.”
Patrick Lipinski
Green: “It’s not a great list (for Tassie), maybe Lipinski just for a bit of midfield depth. He has a bit of experience, good leader.”
Nate Caddy
Green: “I’d go Caddy. Young and talented, he’s going to be good.”
Caleb Serong
Costelloe: “I love Jordan Clark.”
Green: “I do too, he had a great year. I like Caleb Serong too just quietly.”
Costelloe: “I’d build the midfield so I’d go Serong.”
Max Holmes
Costelloe: “I’m going with Max Holmes.”
Connor O’Sullivan
Green: “Connor O’Sullivan as a tall defender, we’ll probably need one of those.”
Bailey Humphrey
Costelloe: “Humphrey for me.”
Green: “Yep, I like that.”
Tom Green
Costelloe: “We want ‘Leakey’ (James Leake) to come back but I like Tom Green.”
Green: “I’m with you on that one.”
Jack Ginnivan
Green: “Ginni! A bit of spunk, small forward.”
Harvey Langford
Green: “I’d go Harvey Langford.”
Trent Rivers
Costelloe: “I love Trent Rivers. I’ll go with him.”
Colby McKercher
Costelloe: “Come home please, Colby.”
Green: “We know who we want!”
Miles Bergman
Costelloe: “Can we get the ‘Hornet’ (Jason Horne-Francis) down?”
Green: “No chance, he’s already moved home from North.”
Costelloe: ”Let’s go with Bergman.”
Green: “Yep, I like him.”
Luke Trainor
Costelloe: “Sammy Banks is pretty happy at Richmond after having a discussion with him last week.”
Green: “I don’t think we’re going to get him. So I’d probably go Luke Trainor.”
Alix Tauru
Green: “I like Tauru, he’s a really good young player.”
Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera
Costelloe: “I’ll just go with Wanganeen-Milera even though I know we’re not going to get him.”
Errol Gulden
Costelloe: “Errol for me. Not going to get him probably, but I love him.”
Chad Warner
Green: “It would be Errol or Chad.”
Reuben Ginbey
Costelloe: “I don’t think we’re prising Harley out of the Eagles?”
Green: “We’d obviously love him, but I’m going to go Reuben Ginbey.”
Costelloe: “I do like Ginbey, I think he’d be a good target.”
Sam Davidson
Green: “I like Sam Davidson out of the Dogs if available.”
