Ben Brown
Long locks, long limbs, long run ups.. Ben Brown was one of the most recognisable figures in AFL football during a 175-game, 360-goal career that culminated in a premiership with Melbourne in 2021. His rise to the AFL as a ‘mature-ager' saw him follow in the footsteps of his uncle, Collingwood premiership player James Manson, but it was his late grandfather, Gentleman Jim Manson, he thought of most often during his football career. Manson died in traumatic circumstances and would never see his grandson play, but his influence had been profound.

Alex Pearce
Просмотров 642 месяца назад
If you peruse the honour boards of Ulverstone sporting clubs, there’s every chance you’ll find the surname Pearce - more than once. And if you look at the honour roll of the Fremantle Football Club, you’ll find the name there too, under the title of captain. Alex Pearce was somewhat of a late bloomer when it came to football but despite an inordinate number of serious injuries, Pearce has emerg...
Colin Robertson
Просмотров 502 месяца назад
The only Tasmanian to win the coveted Norm Smith Medal, Colin Robertson, grew up on a dairy and potato farm in the small north west town of Yolla. The paddocks, with tree limbs for goals posts, were Robertson’s equivalent of the MCG and where he honed his skills before starring with Wynard in two premierships. Multiple VFL clubs came calling, but the dashing wingman opted for emerging Hawthorn ...
Paul Williams

A member of the Tasmanian Team of the Century, Paul Williams was drafted to Collingwood as a schoolboy and after a controversial move to the Sydney Swans in 2001, played in an AFL premiership in his 294th game. The Williams story has many fascinating chapters. From family run pubs, fish and chip shops and Tasmanian state league football, to the tragedy of losing the man he refers to as his on-f...
Ellyse Gamble

A key pillar in Essendon’s quest for an AFLW premiership, Wynyard’s Ellyse Gamble has enjoyed the highs and lows of football and of life since being drafted while on an east coast bushwalk in 2017. Gamble ran out for the Western Bulldogs in their first ever AFLW game, but injury robbed her of the chance to play in a premiership the following year. Last season, she played in round one just days ...

Laura McBain was a young mother when she packed up her belongings and moved from Sydney to the northern Tasmanian town of Exeter. After a challenging start to her new life in Australia's smallest state, McBain would rise from humble beginnings to become one of the country's most successful businesswomen. Now, a rusted-on Tasmanian, McBain is a key member of the Tasmania Football Club’s inaugura...
Doug Barwick

The Launceston suburb of Waverley might be best known for its woolen mill, but it can also lay claim to a Collingwood premiership star. Doug Barwick was recruited to Fitzroy after winning a best and fairest with East Launceston in 1983. A powerfully built player with a prodigious kick, Barwick's switch to Collingwood in 1988 proved life changing. He kicked the match-sealing goal in Collingwood'...
Brent Crosswell

There have been few more brilliant or flamboyant footballers than Campbell Town’s Brent Crosswell, who won four VFL premierships with Carlton and North Melbourne. An extreme talent possessing skill, speed and power, Crosswell was a schoolboy prodigy, whose feats in big games were legendary. But he was also highly temperamental and, by his own admission, indifferent to the game. This was a const...

A former Tasmanian player who became a state league senior coach at the age of 24, Zane Littlejohn quickly established his credentials winning back-to-back premierships with North Launceston. After being lured to the Brisbane Lions, where he worked under fellow Tasmanian Chris Fagan, Littlejohn is now the senior coach of VFL club Box Hill and working as a development coach at highflying Hawthor...

A champion swimmer, who once shared the pool with Olympic golden girl Ariarne Titmus, Nicole Bresnahan only started playing football as a 19-year old. Just a couple of years later she was drafted by North Melbourne and selected to play in the Kangaroos’ first ever AFLW match. As she readies for her 50th game with the club, Bresnehan is also working full time for AFL Tasmania, helping to develop...
Jamie Cox

With more than 18-thousand first-class runs, former Tasmanian captain Jamie Cox is a revered figure in cricket and widely considered as desperately unlucky to have never played in Tests for Australia. What is less known about the Wynyard product, is that he was once an Essendon footballer - despite being completely oblivious to the fact. In 1987, a young Cox was drafted by the Bombers, initiall...
Andy Bennett

Andy Bennett is proof you don’t need to be born in Tasmania to become a Tasmanian - a very passionate Tasmanian. Originally from Broken Hill, Bennett was very late to football but quickly rose to prominence representing the revered South Australian state team in the late 1970’s. After stints with Hawthorn and St. Kilda in the VFL, which included a near-death encounter with the fearsome Tony Loc...
Ian Stewart

One of only four players in the history of the game to win three Brownlow Medals, Ian Stewart describes the harsh environment that gave rise to his immense football talents. Stewart spent his early years on Tasmania’s rugged west coast, but his childhood was most shaped by his experiences living alongside orphaned migrant children at the Hobart welfare institution, Boys’ Town. Football was to b...
Ian Callinan

There is no better example of the importance of the state’s AFL license to young Tasmanians than the story of Ian Callinan. A star junior, the Rokeby product was the epitome of the natural footballer - highly skilled on both left and right foot and with an uncanny sense of where the goals were. But despite a glittering football resume, Callinan’s dream of being drafted to the AFL was a cruel ta...
Darrin Pritchard

One of the AFL’s finest wingmen during the 80’s and 90’s Darrin Pritchard played in three premierships with Hawthorn, the club he barracked for as a child. In this episode, Pritchard details how he had initially hoped to play for Fitzroy. He also reflects on his childhood growing up at Mount Nelson, the guidance of Chris Fagan and Andy Bennett at the Sandy Bay Football Club and captaining Tasma...
Great to here this, I'm a fellow Campbell Townian, younger than Brent. His sister and mine were best friends. The game against Ding Dong Parker was legend, his dad had to be physically restrained from running on the ground and sorting Dinger out. Darrel (Brent's dad) was a great bloke and Ruby (mum) was a character. Darrel and my uncle, Leigh Gaunt played against each other in North vs South games. Brent was a very different type of person than footballers of his time. What a player, he turned the 1968 GF, and would have won 2 Norm Smiths (70 and 75)
I grew up with Brent - a couple of years younger but grew up in Campbelltown and also went to Scotch - I think my father might have had a bit to do with Brent being given a schollarship to Scotch. He was right - it was a brutal school but I managed to get expelled before he left for Carlton. People may not know this but Brent was voted by the media as best on ground in the famous1970 GF when only 19 years old. I was at the game. Me, I got an invite to train with Fitzroy but chose travelling the world instead.
I love afl and support a team however we don't need a stadium stay with bellerive nothing wrong with that fix the health system and housing first before spending a billion on the stadium
How’s the Ménière’s disease now ?
Demons and Devils It might work out
NO are we being forced to wait another 5 years. Most new AFL teams have been set up in under a year.
Very good interview. Well done.
Great interview!
WHY is it taking 5 years to set this team up? Most AFL teams have taken under 12 months to be set up.
The AFL set a bunch of arbitrary standards that were not set before then couldn't go back on them because then everyone would know they were arbitrary.
Because the other teams were shit and we have no stadium.
That was once again brilliant. Many thanks.
Thanks for that, I've wanted to hear his story as a Richmond and Hobart supporter.
That was brilliant..... Appreciate the work and time involved.
That was brilliant. Max is right, time for TAS to be United. Well done, what a great attitude.
Great chat as always. Tremendous to hear the stories.
Fantastic interview, thank you. Long time Richmond supporter, it was Royce that made me a Tiger in the first place.
