The Tasmania Devils have decided not to offer a new contract to VFL captain Robbie Fox for the 2027 season, following an incident at the Granada Tavern in Hobart two weeks ago. Fox, 33, was reportedly removed from the pub after becoming drunk and disorderly, with reports of abusive behaviour toward staff and a bottle being thrown.
Devils VFL boss Aaron Pidgeon cited the club's standards on player behaviour as a factor in the decision. Fox, a former Sydney Swans player with 105 AFL games, led the Devils to a top four finish in their inaugural VFL season, playing 13 games in 2026. He will remain employed by the club as strategic projects and impact lead.
