The league’s announcement event did not address doubts about whether a Tasmanian side would ever take field
Long-awaited announcement greeted with a spontaneous chant of ‘devils’ among Devenport crowdThe AFL has announced its new team will be called the Tasmania Devils and wear a myrtle green, primrose yellow and rose red guernsey with an image of the island splashed on the front.
“We already have over 100 years of history in these colours – all the greats have worn it,” Richardson said. “Now all the young kids who want to play for this club will get to wear these colours as well.” In a press conference after the official event, the AFL’s chief executive, Andrew Dillon, said the construction of a new stadium was still a non-negotiable.
“If you wish to see our Tasmanian teams in the AFL and AFLW succeed, then become a part of the Devils army now. That’s out plea. That’s our request.” The Hawks will play three home-and-away matches in Launceston this season, in addition to the pre-season clash with the Western Bulldogs held earlier this month.
The rebellion left premier Jeremy Rockliff struggling to maintain control in parliament, and an election was called for Saturday 23 March.
