Stooke, of West Australia) and .the President of the Tas- manian Australian National Football League (Mr. W. Arnold) are delighted with the success of the Victory Carnival-the lOth Carnival staged by the A.N.F.C. since the series was inaugurated at ~Ielbourne in 190B-which concludes at North Hobart this afternoon. Here is their expression of thanks to the public' of Tasmania for their wholehearted support and co-operation:- / .. "In all British communities sport is a. very powerful factor in national develop- ment, and I think it is impossible to find 11 game that carries as much pleasure as. much harmless excitement and as much. F. SPOKES (Vic.) stimulus as the Australian game of foot- D. J CRONIN (W.A.) ball. "These Carnivals create an'intense and • friendly interstate rivalry, which is essen-. tial to the continued progress of the game. throughout the Commonwealth. .; "The present Carnival has been an out.. standing success, both a~ regards the high quality of play and the loyal support of the public. "I should like to place on record the Council's sincere appreciation of the valu- . .able contribution made by the competing teams, all of whom have displayed that / fine spirit of sportsmanship which is char-. MR. W. STOOKE acteristic of the game. "The Council's hearty thanks are extended to the Tasmanian National Football League, the City Council and the public for their support and'. K. L. APLIN (S.A.) J. VIRTH (Tas.) co-operation."-W. STOOKE. "As President of the Tasmanian Aus- tralian National Football League I wish to thank the public of Tasmania for support- ing the first post-war A.N.F.C. Carnival ORGANISED THE CARNIVAL and in making it such a splendid success financially. ' ."1 think you will all agree that we have witnessed some excellent game.s, and it is pleasing to note that the standard 'of play has been very high . "Particularly would I like to congratu- late tll.OseStates who are carrying on in the face of strong opposition from other codes, namely. Queensland New South Wales and Canberra (Federal Capital Terri tory) . "Their displays have been such that we who are administrators of the National Code must feel that their efforts to pro- mote the Australian game in those centres are surely and definitely bearing fruit. MR. WELLER ARNOLD . "My League has felt honoured in having been entrusted with the .. copduct of the Carnival, and in this connection 1 would like to pay high tribute to the splendid organising of our Secretary (Mr. D.

Full Points Footy http://www.fullpointsfooty.net Introduction For most football devotees, clubs are the lenses through which they view the game, colouring and shaping their perception of it more than all other factors combined. To use another overblown metaphor, clubs are also the essential fabric out of which the rich, variegated tapestry of the game’s history has been woven.

Coincidentally, I joined AFL Tasmania as a Director at virtually the same time Andrew became Chief Executive and during my seven years as Chairman of AFL Tasmania our team has worked very closely with Andrew, Gillon McLachlan and other members of the AFL executive management team. The facts speak for themselves; Andrew Demetriou has been an outstanding national leader of our game and in my opinion he has also provided exceptional support and advice to Tasmanian football through AFL Tasmania. The first time I met with Andrew he was very clear about the fact that the AFL must prioritise its development activities in Queensland and New South Wales. The growth of the game in these two northern states will ultimately be to the benefit of a traditional football state such as Tasmania.

  • Seagulls on the Wing
    PART II Seagulls on the wing W. T. (Bill) WILLIAMS 1945-66 BRIAN LEWIS 1967-97 FOREWORD IN THE FOLLOWING PAGES an effort has been made to collate the records of the Sandy Bay Football Club from its inception, and renew acquaintances with all the great players who have worn the Club’s Blue and White Guernsey. Months of research have resulted in the compilation of this comprehensive record, and if perchance some name or names or facts have been omitted the writers offers their apologies. During the years of the Second World War and particularly 1942-43 seeds were sown for the introduction of district football in Hobart and sub- urbs. Many were sceptical of the success, but it was obvious that now was the time to implement the scheme if district football was to succeed. The big barrier was the breaking of old club ties, but with the suspension of League football during the war years and the retirement of most of the pre- war champions the powers that be decided in favour of the new scheme. In 1945 we saw four district Clubs provide the football namely Sandy Bay, North Hobart, New Town and Hobart. In 1947 Clarence and New Norfolk were admitted to the competition. The teams remained unchanged until 1986 when East and North Launceston were admitted. In 1987 the Burnie Hawks and the Devonport Blues were also admitted to form a Statewide League. The number of teams remained the same until the 1994 season when Launceston was admitted, thus creating a bye. No further change occurred until 1997 when all teams handed in their licenses and unfortu- nately the rest is history.

It seems like only yesterday that we conducted our Tasmanian Team of the Century dinner in 2004, followed by our inaugural Hall of Fame induction dinner in 2005. This is just another example of how quickly a decade passes by when you work in an industry as dynamic as Australian Football. Over this decade 277 individuals have entered our Hall of Fame ‘club’ as inductees. We have elevated 40 of these men to Legend status and further elevated just 14 to become Icons of Tasmanian Football. To be one of just 14 Icons to have been identified in over 149 years of the game being played in Tasmania is very special indeed.

AFL Tasmania devotes most of each year to focusing on the future; considering initiatives to grow our game for our community and for the benefit of the next generation of players, coaches, umpires, support staff, administrators and fans. While grand final day is always a special event for the participating clubs and their respective competitions, for AFL Tasmania our Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame is especially dear to our hearts because it is the only time during the year whereby we can pause for a brief moment and celebrate the past. In addition, we cherish the uniqueness of our Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame, which remains the only football event in the nation that enshrines great contributions from individuals, clubs, teams and games on a truly whole of state basis. We also recognise the special and distinctive elements of our great game in Tasmania such as the gravel oval in Queenstown and the King Island Football Association, to mention just two.

    Newsletter June 10, 2020 IT’S ON! TSL SEASON TO COMMENCE ON JULY 18! Great news with the announcement on June 10 that the TSL season will go ahead! The season will commence on Saturday July 18 with the grand final on the weekend of October 17/18. It will be a 12-game season so each team will play each other twice. There will be a two-week finals series where 1st will play 4th and 2nd will play 3rd with the winners playing in the grand final at a venue to be confirmed. A roster will be worked on over the next week or so and be released as soon as possible. We are also confident of crowds of up to 500 providing there are no more cases of coronavirus in the state and the decision on that will be made by Public Health.

Many believe him to be the greatest Tasmanian player not to have played in the VFL/AFL, and that’s borne out by him being named Vice-Captain to Darrel Baldock in Tasmania’s team of the century, announced in 2004. John is revered, loved, and respected by everyone who knew him. An extraordinarily gifted left footer, in his playing days the great JL was one of the finest players in the country and unbeatable.
