from the editor 

Welcome once again to the RECORD 

for the Wrest Point State League finals 

series for 2010. In this third edition we 

update the Tassie Medal and have a 

look at our young Tasmanians making a 

mark in the AFL. 

We’ve had the appetizer and now it 

is entrée with Launceston returning 

to Bellerive for another crack at the 

Clarence juggernaut. The law of 

averages suggests that the more often 

the Blues travel south they will at some 

point prevail. A win will provide first spot 

in the Grand Final and the all important 

home ground advantage. 

In the 1st semi final North Hobart have 

the hard task of defeating Devonport on 

the Coast, but if form is a guide then the 

Demons are every chance. 

Finally the countdown to determine 

the Wrest Point State League best and 

fairest player has begun with the Top 

30 named announced. Launceston 

captain, Scott Stephens, could add 

to his RACT Award, but has numerous 

Blues in contention. The winner will be 

announced live at the Wrest Point State 

League Grand Final. 

Have a great finals footy experience.

VIEW FROM HERE | New structure for football management 

On Wednesday of this week the Chairman of 

AFL Tasmania, Dominic Baker, announced 

a new AFL Tasmania management team 

structure, established to further develop the 

sport in the state over the coming decade. 

Speaking at the announcement, Dominic said 

the changes would aid the implementation of the 

organisation’s plan and business in the years ahead: 

AFL Tasmania’s new management team 

structure, which was approved by the Board 

last week, reinforces our organisation’s focus 

on the three core pillars of our business - State 

League, Talent and Business Development. 

The appointment of Shaun Young as General 

Manager, State League, completes the 

management structure that the Board has been 

working towards over recent years. The first step 

in this process occurred in late 2008 when Nick 

Probert was appointed as the head of a new 

Talent Department for AFL Tasmania. The next 

step was the appointment in late 2009 of Trent 

Bartlett to the role of Business Development 

Manager. In early 2010 we then established 

a new Business Operations Department, with 

new staff joining this department, reporting 

directly to Trent. The final part of the process 

is now the establishment of a dedicated State 

League Department at AFL Tasmania, under the 

leadership of Shaun Young. 

This new management structure will now enable 

me to assume the role of Chief Executive of AFL 

Tasmania, meaning my time and energy can be 

dedicated towards matters of strategy and policy, 

for all levels and aspects of our game and in all 

areas of Tasmania. 

It has been important for both Dominic 

and I to play leading roles in managing the 

implementation of our new Wrest Point State 

League over the past two years, supported 

operationally by three Regional Managers - Shaun 

Young, Wayne Povey and Barry Gaby. 

While the Board will most certainly continue to 

oversee the development of our State League, the 

time is now right for Dominic and me to delegate 

the management responsibility of the Wrest Point 

State League competition to Shaun Young and his 

team, and to ensure all three business department 

leaders compliment and support each other. 

When the TSL was officially established in 

December 2008, the Chairman and I consistently 

stated that it would take AFL Tasmania at least 

a decade to consolidate the TSL as a quality, 

popular and respected State League competition. 

The introduction of a dedicated State League 

Department, under the leadership of Shaun 

Young, is a significant step forward, and a further 

demonstration of the Board’s commitment to 

invest in securing a positive future for the TSL 

competition and the member clubs.

RACT INSURANCE | Player of the Year Award 

At the end of the season the player with the most votes will

WINNER | Scott Stephens 

Launceston captain Scott Stephens has won 

the prestigious RACT Insurance Player Of The 

Year award, topping off a fine home and away 

series for his Club and its supporters. 

Stephens finished the season with 20 votes, 

two clear of the runner-up, North Launceston’s 

Zane Murphy, after the 18-round series and 

adds his name to the honour board alongside 

the inaugural RACT Player of the Year, Clarence’s 

Jeromey Webberley. RACT Insurance CEO, Mr 

Trent Sayers, announced the winner recently: 

RACT Insurance became involved with the new AFL 

Tasmania state league last year with the creation of 

the Player of the Year award. As we see it, the statewide 

league is not just another footy competition. 

It’s a real community endeavour. As Tasmania’s 

largest home-based insurance business, we saw 

the importance of helping to nurture and support 

a footy code that taps into almost every community 

in the State. Towns and cities across Tasmania 

supply players, administrators, umpires, coaches 

and ground staff. That represents a community spirit 

worth supporting. 

The RACT Insurance Player of the Year was decided 

from a weekly vote of Tasmanian print media 

football correspondents. The winner receives a 

seven days travel and accommodation package to 

the Gold Coast, along with $2,500 cash. 

Stephens started playing football for Launceston 

in the under 12’s and has played 112 senior 

games for Launceston. He was a member of the 

2000 and 2001 Tassie Mariners and the 2001 

National Championship winning side. He also 

played with the Tassie Devils from 2002 – 2005 

and 2007 and was also Co-Captain in 2007. 

Stephens was the runner-up in the Darrell 

Baldock medal in 2006, and the Examiner/ 

Advocate and Coast FM Player of the Year in 

2006. He was a premiership player with the 

Launceston Football Club in 2006, 2007 and 

2008, and won the Best and Fairest in both 

2006 and 2009. 

His life is immersed in football. He has been 

the Club Captain since 2008 and is currently 

employed as the club’s General Manager. Scott 

Stephens said: 

It is a great thrill to win the 2010 media award 

sponsored by RACT. They have put together a 

fantastic package. I’m sure I will have a few 

team-mates putting their hands out for a piece of 

the cake though! I can also thank Budgie (Brett 

Geappen). If he hadn’t of got injured I’m sure he 

would have continued his early season form.

Senior Coach: Errol Bourne 

DEVONPORT 

The Devonport Magpies played an excellent 

brand of football beating Glenorchy under lights 

at the Devonport Oval last Saturday night. 

Congratulations are also extended to Leah 

Woodberry for her excellent rendition of the 

National Anthem prior to the start of the game. 

Our large and ever-increasing band of 

supporters were delighted with the team’s 50 

point win, which came as a result of the efforts 

and teamwork of all players who gave their all 

for one another and the Club. Errol Bourn and 

his coaching panel have instilled in each and 

every player a strong belief in oneself and the 

team, and all supporters are justifiably proud. 

Today, we continue our finals campaign 

against Launceston and the team will be 

further strengthened by the return of Brett 

McCall and Brad MacDonald from injury. 

The Club was saddened during the week by 

the passing of esteemed Life Member Col 

Blackwood, and we extend our condolences to 

his family and friends.

opportunity to play Senior football, which can only 

put them in good stead for the future. Our Senior 

Coach, Ben Reid, also announced his retirement. 

Ben has been involved with the club for 16 years 

now and played 259 club games, becoming a 

Player Life Member and was playing coach of our 

(3) Reserves Premierships in 2006, 2007 and 

2008. We thank Ben for his contribution to the 

club; we wish the Reid family well and hope to see 

you around the place in the future. 

Today’s game is a great challenge for our 

Reserves and we wish Matthew Shaw and his 

team the very best for the rest of 2010

Northern Bombers - 03 6334 2359 

President: Thane Brady 

Senior Coach: Paul Atkins 

NORTH L’TON 

Well, this season is now over for the senior 

boys as they experienced a very disappointing 

loss to North Hobart last Sunday. An excellent 

start saw the Bombers with a lead of 42 points, 

but this was quickly turned around and North 

Hobart ran out winners by 8 points. 

The Committee of Management would like 

to thank Senior Coach Paul Atkins for the 

tremendous work he has done this season. 

Paul has earned the respect of all at the Club 

for his hard work and his ability to have the 

boys listen and take advice. The hardest role 

a coach has is earning the team’s respect, and 

Paul did this in his first couple of weeks in his 

new role with the Club. 

A big congratulations to the U18 team on their 

fantastic win over Clarence last week. They 

have a well deserved bye this weekend. Good 

luck to all the boys and we are confident that a 

grand final berth is imminent.

TASSIE MEDAL | Recognising Tasmania’s best and fairest player 

Thirty players from the Wrest Point State League 

are still in the running for the competition’s top 

honour, the Tassie Medal. 

The list of 30 players was released by AFL 

Tasmania earlier this week and represents 

the cream of the state’s footballers, including 

2009 Tassie Medal winner, Devonport’s Kurt 

Heazlewood. 

Many of the top players from 2009 are still in 

the running for the 2010 best and fairest award. 

North Hobart’s Ken Hall and Burnie’s Darrren 

Banham, who tied for fifth place last year, have 

both had another stellar season to remain in 

contention for the medal. 

The 2009 fourth place getter, Zane Murphy, has 

also polled well enough to make it into the top 30, 

but as he was suspended during the season is 

ineligible to win the Tassie Medal this season. 

Nine of the ten clubs are represented in the top 

30, with Launceston having the greatest number 

with 7 players, including RACT Player of the Year, 

Scott Stephens. 

Across the next few weeks the list will be further 

reduced, with the winner being announced at 

the Wrest Point State League Grand Final. The 

Record will update the list of 20 players next week 

and highlight the top 10 in the Grand Final edition 

of the Record. 

2010 Tassie Medal - Top 30 

• Burnie - Darren Banham, Luke 

Shackleton, Matthew Stephenson. 

• Clarence - Brett Geappen, Josh 

Green, Brennan Savage, Trent 

Standen, Cameron Thurley. 

• Devonport - Kurt Heazlewood, 

Brad McDonald, Vincent 

Ponsonby, Ben Reynolds. 

• Glenorchy - Jaye Bowden, Jake Cox, 

Nathan Matthews. 

• Hobart - Jeremy Howe 

• Lauderdale - Marcus Fitze. 

• Launceston - Tim Bristow, Will Campbell, Brian 

Finch, Kurt McCabe, Sam O’Keefe, Gary Shipton, 

Scott Stephens. 

• North Hobart - Cam De Gooyer, Oliver Di Venuto, 

Ken Hall. 

• North Launceston - Andrew McLean, Zane Murphy, 

Michael Praciak. 

It was also confirmed this week that Launceston’s 

Brian Finch has won the Hudson Medal, topping 

the goal kicking across the home and away series. 

Devonport’s Ben Reynolds has won the Lefroy 

Medal as the best player for Tasmania in the 

interstate competition. Their achievements will be 

featured in next week’s Record.

our great game | Tasmanian State Football Premierships 

Tasmanian football clubs have competed for a 

‘State Premiership’ on and off for around 100 

years. The governing leagues of Tasmanian 

football inaugurated an official State 

Premiership in 1909 when the Premier from 

the southern based TFL, namely Cananore (of 

Hobart), played against the northern based 

NTFA premiership team, Launceston. 

The State Premiership series became hugely 

popular from 1928 up until a dispute between 

the TFL and NTFA halted the series in 1951. 

The year 1928 was significant because the City 

Club (of Launceston) had recruited the high 

profile Victorian Roy Cazaly to coach and he 

duly delivered the first state title for a Northern 

Tasmanian club in his first season. 

The State Premiership series resumed in 1954 

after the North-West Football Union (NWFU) 

successfully gained equal status with the NTFA 

and TFL. Subsequently, the State Premiership 

became a contest between the Premiership 

team from the 3 major Tasmanian regions. The 

period 1954 to 1973 became the second golden 

era of Tasmanian state football such was the 

interest and success of the series of games that 

was conducted to culminate each season and 

determine the best team in Tasmania. 

However, new cracks began to appear in 1974, 

1977 and 1979 when the three leagues could 

not agree on the timing of the finals series or 

their commitment to the concept. Ultimately, the 

prolonged decline of the series in the early 1980s 

became a major catalyst for the formation of a 

Statewide League in 1986-87. 

The subsequent Tasmanian State League that 

was conducted up until the end of 2000 was 

very successful in attracting high quality players 

and coaches to Tasmania. The State League 

was very popular until a number of Clubs began 

to fail financially and were unable to continue in 

the competition. 

Regional football resumed in 2001 across 

Tasmania, but there was an inability to progress 

a State Premiership series for 8 long years 

despite constant speculation and a failed 

attempt in 2008. 

The State Premiership series has been disrupted 

on numerous occasions due to world wars, the 

influenza pandemic of 1919 and internecine 

disputes in the early 1950s, on and off in the 

1970s and 1980s and again in the last decade. 

Historically there is a correlation between the 

relative strength and interest in a Tasmanian 

State Finals series or league and the strength 

of Tasmanian football at representative level. In 

this regard we can expect if the new Wrest Point 

Tasmanian State League is able to gain traction 

amongst football players, corporate and media 

supporters and fans, that a new fourth era of 

Tasmanian State football will dawn and this will 

strengthen Tasmanian football. 

This series of articles will provide a summary of all 

Tasmanian State Premiership games and a table 

of premiers and runners-up. As well, there is a 

feature on the greatest State Premiership games 

from the 4 major eras starting with the 1920s 

and 1930s. A special ‘Fantasy Final’ series will 

also been provided to fill in some gaps in the 

history of Tasmanian State Football Premierships.

TROPHIES | Wrest Point Tasmania State League Premiership 2010 

The Wrest Point Tasmania State League will 

issue a range of traditional trophies for the best 

teams, coaches, players and umpires in 2010. 

These include: 

FLAG - The traditional reward for the premier 

team is the provision of a Flag or Pennant. The 

presentation is made either on Grand Final day or 

at the commencement of the new season when 

the Flag is unfurled at the winning Club’s first 

home game of the season. 

CUP - There have been many Premiership Cups 

presented to winning teams in competitions 

across Tasmania. The VFL / AFL only commenced 

presenting the now famous AFL Premiership 

Cup in 1960, but in Tasmania a perpetual cup, 

called the Bulldog Cup, was presented for the 

Tasmanian State Premiership team from the very 

early days of the competition. The whereabouts 

of the Bulldog Cup is not known, but the 

distinctive trophies presented to all teams who 

participated in the first Tasmanian State League 

are firmly entrenched in the respective winner’s 

trophy cabinets. The Clarence FC won 5 state 

premiership cups during their golden era from 

1993 to 2000 and added to that in 2009 with the 

inaugural Wrest Point Tasmania State League. 

MEDALS - The issuing of medals to the players 

participating in the Grand Final commenced in 

the VFL / AFL in 1979, when the first Norm Smith 

Medal for best on ground was issued to Carlton’s 

Wayne Harmes. Up until 1982 medals were also 

issued to the players of the runner-up team, but in 

1981 Collingwood ruckman Peter Moore tossed 

his medal into the crowd in disgust at receiving 

his third successive runner up medal (Collingwood 

lost in 1979, 1980 and 1981). The VFL / AFL 

discontinued the practice of presenting runner 

up medals at that time. This year a Premiership 

Medal will be presented to the players and the 

participating umpires will be recognized. The 

best player on the ground will be awarded the 

prestigious Darrel Baldock Medal.

GRASS ROOTS | Cadbury NTJFA Grand Finals 2010 

The Cadbury Northern Tasmanian Junior 

Football Association grand finals were played 

at Aurora Stadium on Sunday 29 August in ideal 

conditions. In a day of upsets the favourites 

were defeated in the first four grand finals, but 

this made for an exciting day of youth football. 

The first game of the day, the under-12 final, was 

played with an excellent attitude from both sides. 

Despite a rally from the Prospect Sharks in the 

closing stages of the game, North Launceston held 

on to secure a 20-point win. The tone of the game 

set the standard for the rest of the day. Best on 

Ground: Connor Young – North Launceston. 

In a nail-biting clash in the under-13 match, the 

scores remained tight throughout the game. North 

Launceston mounted an admirable challenge, 

but Launceston remained strong and held the 

Bombers off to record a five-point victory. Best on 

Ground: Rhys Petterwood – Launceston. 

It was a close contest from the start as the under-14 

division as North Launceston faced off against 

South Launceston, with the Bulldogs leading into 

half-time with just a six-point buffer. After a strong 

second half, South pushed the margin out to 19 

points to win in a team effort. Best on Ground: 

Timothy Jones – South Launceston. 

The Prospect Sharks’ defensive line was a force 

to be reckoned with in the under-15 final, leaving 

South Launceston goal-less by the end of the 

first quarter. Prospect seemed set for a stellar 

finish to a dominant season until South came to 

life after half-time, booting 4 goals in the third 

quarter and forcing the favourites to surrender 

their lead. Going into the last quarter with a 

two-point advantage, the Bulldogs maintained 

their newly-found form to run home by 36 points 

in an emphatic and memorable victory. Best on 

Ground: Dylan Visser – South Launceston. 

In the big game of the day, played under lights, 

the Launceston Blues and the South Launceston 

Bulldogs fought it out for the under-16 shield. 

Launceston developed a handy 30-point lead by 

three-quarter time and despite South’s best efforts, 

held on to win by 46 points at the final siren. Best 

on Ground: Jacob Bonney – Launceston. 

Under-12 – North Launceston 9.9 (63) def. Prospect 

Sharks 7.1 (43). 

Under-13 – Launceston 8.8 (56) def. North 

Launceston 8.3 (51). 

Under-14 – South Launceston 8.6 (54) def. North 


Under-15 – South Launceston 12.13 (85) def. 

Prospect Sharks 7.7 (49). 

Under-16 – Launceston 14.10 (94) def. South

YOUNG GUNS | Tasmanians progressing in AFL 

As another season draws to a close in 

Tasmania, the focus for some hopeful young 

players shifts towards the NAB National Draft 

and the possibility of being selected by an AFL 

club on November 18. 

Over the next fortnight we will take a look at the 

players who have been selected in recent drafts to 

see how they are faring in the AFL and look ahead 

to the prospects who will be nervously counting 

down the days over the coming months. 

Overall 2010 has been a good season for 

Tasmanians attempting to forge a career in the 

AFL. There are currently 30 Tasmanians on AFL 

lists, up from 22 in 2007. 

25 players have experienced senior AFL football, 

with Bart McCulloch (Brisbane), Tom Allwright 

(Geelong) and Daniel Archer (St.Kilda) still waiting 

for their chance and Maverick Weller and Luke 

Russell good chances to debut for the Gold Coast 

in their clubs opening game in the AFL in 2011. 

Marcus Davies - Carlton pick 43 in 2009 

Marcus debuted for Carlton in round 19 against 

Essendon, collecting 10 disposals and has held 

his spot in the team so far, improving with each of 

the 4 games he has played. Marcus has a terrific 

opportunity to be play his first AFL final if selected 

this weekend. 

Ryan Harwood - Brisbane pick 47 in 2009 

Ryan’s debut in round 17 against Geelong 

at Skilled Stadium was a baptism of fire. 

Relieving Brisbane’s number 1 midfielders from 

interchange, Ryan went head to head on Gary 

Ablett, Joel Selwood and Jimmy Bartel picking up 

18 possessions and 4 tackles along the way. 

Jesse Crichton - Fremantle pick 48 in 2009 

Jesse debuted on the same weekend as his good 

mate Ryan, collecting 13 possessions against the 

Western Bulldogs. In his fifth game Jesse tagged 

Cyril Rioli at Aurora Stadium and has narrowly 

missed selection last week as the Dockers head 

into their finals campaign. 

Jeromey Webberley - Richmond pick 67 in 2009 

Jeromey has been the most successful draftee of 

the 2009 cohort, playing 10 games in 2010 after 

debuting against Adelaide in Round 7. 

Daniel Archer - St Kilda Rookie pick 36 in 2009 

Daniel has progressed well with St Kilda who 

are treating him as a longer term key position 

prospect. Daniel has played the majority of the 

year with VFL club Sandringham as both a key 

forward and key defender. 

Liam Jones - Western Bulldogs pick 32 in 2008 

Liam has had an interesting career path to senior 

AFL football, accepting a scholarship to attend 

Scotch College before long term injury sidelined 

him for the 2009 season. Liam debuted for 

the Bulldogs in Round 18 and has a terrific 

opportunity to play finals football at centre half 

forward for the Bulldogs.

WINNER | Josh Green 

Josh Green of the Clarence FC has been selected as the season 

winner of the 2010 Corporate Express Rising Star Award. 

Already a senior TSL premiership winner as a 17 year old in 

2009, Josh has again had a stellar season with Clarence in 

2010, playing as a creative midfielder that has the ability to hurt 

the opposition quickly with his possessions. 

At National Under 18 level, Josh has also had an outstanding 

season as the Captain of the Tasmanian Under 18 team 

that won the Division 2 title of the NAB Under 18 National 

Championships. 

Josh’s outstanding performance at the five game carnival was 

recognised with selection in the All-Australian Under 18 team, 

despite suffering two broken ribs and a punctured lung five 

minutes into the Grand Final against NSW/ACT. 

We wish Josh the best of luck for the rest of the season as 

Clarence attempt to go back to back and also as he prepares to 

attend the AFL Draft Combine from September 28th to October 

1st in Canberra ahead of the AFL Draft on November 18. 

Congratulations to Josh on winning the Corporate Express Rising 

Star Award in 2010.

OUR GREAT GAME | Tasmania’s State Premiership Coaches 

Reid, Brown, Taylor, Bourn or for the double 

Geappen. One of these coaches will join elite 

company on Saturday 18 September when 

they coach their team to the Wrest Point State 

League premiership. Who will they join and 

what does it mean? The list of great coaches is 

long and brings back memories of great football 

battles past. 

Some of the names that stand out amongst 73 

premiership coaches include: 

• 24 Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame members 

(marked *). 

• Many champion VFL / AFL players who captain 

– coached in Tasmania, epitomised by Jack 

Beveridge the Collingwood star of the 1927 to 

1930 era; Carlton colossus Fred Davies who 

led Longford to their only triumph and more 

recently the arrival of Sydney Swans team 

mates, Mark Browning, Steve Wright and David 

Rhys – Jones in the 1990s. 

• Great coaches who helped their Tasmanian 

clubs achieve their most memorable moments, 

including Bob Wilson at Scottsdale, Rod Olsson 

at sandy Bay and Ricky Graham at Ulverstone. 

Leading Coaches 

The leading Tasmanian state premiership 

coaches almost exclusively achieved their records 

in the period 1909 to 1951. The only exception 

being the much maligned Clarence coach of 

the 1990s, Grant Fagan. It is arguable that the 

two regional format of the early years allowed 

coaches to more readily achieve their results in 

a short time frame. In the first Tasmanian State 

League the gruelling nature of the competition 

made long-term multiple premiership coaching 

much more difficult. This makes Grant Fagan’s 

and the other multiple premiership coaches of 

that era achievement arguably more meritorious. 

Similarly, when the State Premiership format 

moved to 3 regions from 1954 to 1978 it also 

became more difficult to achieve multiple 

premierships. In this regard the achievement of 

City / City-South coaching maestro, Bob Miller, 

is significant. He first coached City to a state 

premiership in 1954. Then 18 years later, in a 

second coaching stint, he took the Redlegs to the 

1972 pennant over Darrel Baldock’s Latrobe.

The Final Word 

Tasmania’s Head Coach, Mathew Armstrong, 

achieved the honour of coaching North Launceston 

to their 1998 State Premiership without being 

defeated. This was Armstrong’s first coaching 

assignment and launched his coaching career 

at AFL level with Brisbane Lions and then for the 

Tasmanian Devils. Mathew Armstrong offered 

some reflections for the Record and said it was one 

of the ‘crowning moments’ in his football career. 

“At the time it was a great achievement in a 

reasonably strong competition to go through 

undefeated.” 

“As the years go on it means more and my respect 

for the people involved has become greater.” 

“Everyone becomes wiser and I realise that it is a 

significant achievement to be a leader amongst 

a group of young men, and many others in the 

wings of the Club, all striving for and achieving the 

one goal to such a high standard.” 

22

Tasmanian Coaching Coups 

Tasmanian football clubs have pulled off some 

stunning recruitment coups over the course of a 

century of football. 

Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes 

The diminutive Checker Hughes was a classy 

player for Richmond in the period 1914 to 1923, 

including the Tigers first premierships in 1921- 

22. He started his senior coaching career at 

Ulverstone and with the NWFU from 1924-26. His 

success with the Robins saw him quickly snapped 

back up by Richmond. His initial years as a 

VFL coach saw him come up against a rampant 

Collingwood combination for grand final losses 

in 1928, 29 and 30. Another loss to Geelong 

followed in 1931 before the breakthrough came 

in 1932 with a premiership over Carlton. In 1933 

Checker Hughes moved to Melbourne and scored 

4 premierships in 1939, 40, 41 and 1948. 

Cazaly, Collier and Warne-Smith 

Arguably the three best players to ever come to 

Tasmania to coach football were Australian Hall of 

Fame members Roy Cazaly, Albert Collier and Ivor 

Warne – Smith. Cazaly has been duly recognised 

in Victoria and Tasmania for his contribution to 

football. The Team of the Century coach took 

first City (1928, 1930), North Hobart (1932) 

and then New Town (1935, 1948, 1949 and 

1951) to regional premierships. Collier won the 

Brownlow in 1929 and played in a 4th successive 

premiership with Collingwood in 1930. In 1931 

Cananore secured his services and he promptly 

won the league best and fairest award and took 

the Canaries to the TFL and State Premiership. 

Ivor Warne – Smith had a massive impact on 

North-west Coast football for 4 years leading both 

Latrobe and the NWFU to some of their finest 

moments. Upon his return to Melbourne Warne 

– Smith became the first dual Brownlow Medal 

winner in 1926 and 1928. 

Geelong’s 1963 Premiership Team 

Tasmania became a favoured destination for 

Geelong’s 1963 premiership team who were 

seeking to take up coaching careers. No 

less than 5 of their champions and an expat 

Tasmanian who was at Geelong in 1963 

embarked on successful coaching careers in the 

Apple Isle. John Devine: led North Hobart to the 

1967, 69 and 74 TFL premierships. Paul Vinar: 

took over Longford for 5 seasons. Captain Fred 

Wooller: set the township of Penguin alight but 

couldn’t deliver the ultimate prize from 1965 

to 1968. John Watts: took over the reins at 

Hobart from 1966 to 1968. Brownlow Medallist 

centreman Alistair Lord: sort a clearance to 

Burnie in 1965 but was knocked back by the Cats 

and eventually was dissuaded from the move. 

Also, ex-pat Tasmanian Brian Lowe, who missed 

the Geelong premiership through injury, returned 

to Tasmania in 1964 to continue a stunning run 

of premiership success with first Cooee and then 

East Launceston through until 1971.

STATE OF AFFAIRS | Volunteer service recognised 

Glenorchy Football Club’s Barry Hassett has 

been named the inaugural Wrest Point State 

League Volunteer of the Year. Hassett has had 

a 43-year association with his favourite club and 

was presented with his certificate and dinner 

voucher and wine from Ristorante Da Angelo. 

Glenorchy Football Club describe Barry as a real 

stalwart of the club, as a board member and 

sub-committee member. His club says that he 

does an unbelievable amount of work for them, 

seven days a week. He’s at the club from 7.30 

most mornings and eliminates a lot of work in the 

football department. Barry is a life member of the 

club and the club believes that he is a wonderful 

role model and a totally deserving recipient of this 

prestigious award. 

Volunteers are vital to the success of football in 

Tasmania and are an integral part of the make-up 

of clubs and their culture. Certainly, the staff and 

management at AFL Tasmania appreciate the 

efforts of volunteers and the passion they have 

for their own clubs and football. We hope that this 

award will highlight each club’s appreciation of 

the people behind the success of clubs, and what 

they bring to each community.
