2027 AFL Out-of-Contract Players: Key Market Insights

The inclusion of Tasmania in the AFL has made the 2027 out-of-contract player market particularly intriguing. The Devils are allowed to sign up to 18 players who are out of contract, one from each club, over the next two seasons.

As teams prepare for the upcoming season, many will be looking to attract prominent players. Among those to watch is a player known as the Flying Viking, who has yet to secure a contract extension beyond his initial three-year deal. Despite showing potential, his performance has been inconsistent, marked by some games in the VFL and a suspension. His management situation has drawn attention, especially given the previous treatment of another player, Leek Aleer, by the Saints, which has raised some concerns in the industry.

The Saints drafted the Flying Viking not only for his on-field abilities but also for his marketability, indicating their strong desire to retain him.
