TASMANIA is a proud football state with an impressive heritage. As a heartland football state we have produced many famous football names, a lineage of footy royalty — Baldock, Stewart, Hart, Hudson, Richardson, Riewoldt. We are now looking for a name of a different nature … it is time to name a team, our team.

The Tasmanian football steering committee unveiled a revitalised talent pathway from under-12s to under-18s. A pathway that gives greater opportunities for our talent and more chances to see the Tasmanian name and jumper represented.

AFL BOSS UNVEILS TEAM TASMANIA PUSH

All the representative teams will be branded with the one name.

The Tasmanian Devils in the VFL and the Tasmanian Mariners in the TAC Cup have made rich contributions to our football heritage but the time now is to chart the people’s path for Team Tasmania, with a name decided by the people.

You have sent in your ideas and the expert panel has produced its shortlist of suggested names.
