Congratulations to Launceston midfielder Chayce Jones and versatile Northern Bomber Tarryn Thomas who were tonight selected in the 2018 AFL draft.
The Hodgman Liberal Government is a strong supporter of football in Tasmania with a vision to grow participation across the community and create elite pathways to the highest level for both the AFL and AFLW.
The Tasmanian Government and representatives from all levels of Tasmanian football are united in an alliance to strengthen the future of football in our state.
Tasmanian is a strong football state from the elite players like tonight’s draftees; to boys and girls who just want to have a kick with their mates on a Saturday; to our regions where footy is the backbone of the community; to our ultimate goal of seeing Tasmanian teams in the national competitions.
