About Us

The team that we were told would never ever happen has finally roared to life! Born from over 150 years of dedication, grit and passion, on 18 March 2024 we celebrated the launch of the latest AFL club – the Tasmania Football Club – The Tasmania Devils.

Our Journey

The dream became reality on May 3rd, 2023, when the AFL awarded Tasmania its 19th license. Later that year, Grant O'Brien was appointed as inaugural Chair, leading a nine-member Board of Directors chosen for their diverse expertise and deep connection to Tasmanian football.

Our foundation was built on community involvement. The "Put Your Say Into Play" survey in November 2023 gathered over 6,000 responses, while nine community forums across Tasmania – from Queenstown to Scottsdale, Hobart to Devonport – brought Tasmanians together to shape their club. An additional forum in Melbourne ensured mainland supporters could contribute to our story.

This extensive community consultation helped forge 'The Fabric' – the culture and DNA of our organisation. On March 18, 2024, we proudly unveiled our club colours, name, logo, foundation jumper, and Founding Membership program.

The Fabric of Our Club

What truly defines Tasmania Football Club is our people, and we strive to continually seek input from members to help shape the future of the club and its values.

In November 2024 we launched round two of “Put Your Say Into Play”, our inaugural member survey. Over 7,000 members provided insights into their connection to Tasmania, how they believe the club can improve, and priorities for the coming 12 months.

Continual engagement with members provides valuable perspective that helps us better demonstrate our core values of connection, commitment, character, consolidation and contribution.

Our journey’s only just beginning. Join us in making history.
