Tasmanian AFL Team

I’m so glad we are going to have a Tasmanian team. It’s long overdue.

Which brings me to the jumper. It feels older - like it was designed mid century. I like it. It feels like a middle finger to the AFL. A way to say ‘should have been done decades ago’. I also like that it’s associated with state of origin. Gives the club a really unified ‘us against the world’ attitude right from the start. Sport is tribal, and this really delivers on that.

I personally can’t stand the devil motif. It’s far too over worked. They’ve got some time to refine that and get it right. The crows took a while to figure out how to make their bird feel premium, and iconic. It’ll come together. 

It’s all great for the sport, and for Tassie. I hope its success highlights some of the AFL’s poor decision making to chase ‘potential populations’, instead of delivering to established football communities.

    Welcome Tassie!

    And commiserations to all Tasmanian 'Landers who now have an emotional dilemma!

    700-odd posts in, barn door, horse, bolted. But...

    On the jumper, has the opportunity been missed to use the Tassie map as a yoke (à la the Opera-House-d Swans yoke)?

    And the 'T' shows a lack of confidence in brand recognition.

    p.s. How are the Flinders, King, Cape Barren and Bruny Islands and Tasman Peninsula folks feeling about the design?

    (#2's a good riff on my earlier thoughts. But don't forget the King I. and Flinders / Cape Barren I. epaulettes!😄)

    We've seen how original jumper designs of new clubs have changed over the years, sometimes very significantly. So, don't lose hope; these and variations in time won't surprise.

    On a related matter, an opportunity was missed to have a first Indigenous strip (though perhaps this would have been a bit awkward given one of the issues with the stadium site...)

    When I was traveling through the States, once the locals hear you are from Tasmania they invariably want to talk about the Devil. I would tell them you had to pay an separate insurance premium to cover your home against a Tassie Devil spinning through it Taz style.  It was believed around 90% of the time, so this comes as no surprise.

    I think the gernsey is something will tinker with over time naturally.

    Not really a big deal.

    You guys do realise the Guernsey with the state and T in the middle is not the home & away Guernsey don't you? 

    This is a heritage one they'll wear a couple of times a year....the home & away kits are yet to be revealed. 

    No one seems to know this

    Afl article states its their inaugural jumper they'll be playing in and makes no reference to it being a heritage only jumper.

    Was this clarified elsewhere?

    No trips to Geelong for 10 years a fair swap?

    On the guernsey, the Map is almost sacred to us in Tasmania. I don't expect it to be worn much from 2028 but it meant a lot that it is the founding guernsey. Non Tasmanians won't quite understand the significance.

    What's with the logo?  I've never seen a Tasmania Devil with green hair.

    It would clash with our navy jumper at night. Would need either a red on green variation or a light green variation.

    Could be mainly yellow with red and green, or white with the other 3 colors, thinking of the Jackjumpers, and thats how they have gone.

    I agree the green would clash with MFC, Carlton and possibly a few others   

    Clash jumpers - more marketing for the AFL.

    Exactly - and of course who gets the bye round 1 (after 0) and in the last round?   Compromised beyond belief.

    I thought the same thing, looked at the NBL store for one team. It's crazy how many different tops they have!

    Gonna let that slide and the first shot at a rivalry with a new team ;) Did you honestly think that the jumper would be anything different?  

    I just signed up as a foundation member for the 6 members of my family. The order number was approximately #13700 I think. Most of the people on the AFL facebook site that supports the team and stadium are buying between 2-4 memberships.  Its possible that there are 25k-30k foundation members signed up for this team inside of 35 minutes. Sure it's not a full membership for games etc, but if it says anything about a team and stadium and interest in a Tasmanian team. 

    Edit: as of 8pm, the foundation member order numbers are over 19k. Given each have multiple memberships, there is a chance of 40k - 50k members signing up tonight.

    I heard that they had over 25k signed up at $10 each.  Its a sneaky way to get GF tickets, My mate who is a life long tigers supporter in WA, signed up with the giants and got his tigers v GWS grand final ticket through the GWS application as he missed out as. tiger member.   Might be an option considering how fast they want the team to succeed.

    The eagles were essentially a state team when they joined, it was also implied in their originally version of the song.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
