Four players across Tasmania have been awarded a state guernsey for Zebras clash

With the Senior Talent Academy over the half way mark, Tasmania coach has announce four more debutants for the round 4 clash as Jeromey Webberley continues to look for talent across the state. Read what he said about it here.

Tasmania will unveil four debutants in its state academy clash with VFL team Sandringham Zebras in Launceston on Sunday.

In what is the fourth round of the State Representative league, Archie Wilkinson (Launceston), Keegan Lowe (Devonport), Josh Wolfe (Wynyard) and Baker Smith (Glenorchy) will pull on The Map.

Sam Siggins and Josh Green will make way for the match up, with coach Jeromey Webberley claiming it was just due to player management.

“Both of those boys are elder statesmen, and we would love to have them in the team but they are a little banged up,” Webberley said.

“Yes we have some of our elder statesmen out but as I have said, this program is about identifying talent and looking at talent as well.

“After this weekend, we have been able to play 37 players through this program in three games which I feel like has been some really good reward for players who have been playing well at community level and it is fantastic to give another four debutants an opportunity.

“As we saw last game, Kai Cameron who has played for Devonport and won premierships there, he is probably not a household name in Tasmania and has played as a defender his whole career, he comes out and plays as a forward for Tasmania and kicks four goals.”

Tasmania last played against Frankston on Saturday March 22, going down by 21 points.

Since then, players have gone back to their local clubs, ensuring they continue to prepare for the state level games.

“First and foremost we allowed them to reconnect with their clubs and get some continuity with their footy,” Webberley said.

“There is a lot intrastate travel, so we felt like it was really appropriate they went back and got some connection with their own club.

“What we have been working towards, mostly it has been more offensive stuff around maintaining possession of the ball.

“We feel like we value contest and defence a lot and that is a real strength of our team.

“So the things we have been working on is keeping those things in check but also to add layers
