Tasmania Devils' $5 Million Bonus Allocation Discussed on Podcast

The Hitout AFL Podcast recently discussed how the Tasmania Devils could allocate their $5 million signing bonus fund, which can be spent over the 2028 and 2029 seasons outside of the salary cap.

Each podcast member presented different strategies for building the team's roster. Aidan Cellini suggested acquiring a marquee player, a veteran, and several emerging talents, emphasizing a balanced approach rather than an even split. He mentioned players like Tom Green, Alex Pearce, and younger prospects from Richmond.

Host Phoenix Trindad proposed distributing the funds evenly among 4-5 key players to establish a strong team foundation for the future. Mitch Keating focused on three specific players, allocating $2 million to Nick Daicos and splitting the remaining funds between Josh Treacy and Connor O'Sullivan.
