MORE representative action is on the menu on Saturday with the top Tasmanian talent going head-to-head against a combined AFL Sydney and AFL Canberra outfit down on the Apple Isle. The clashes, which take place at UTAS Stadium in Launceston are part of a massive quartet of matches at the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The women’s match between Tasmania and Sydney\/Canberra kicks off from 2:30pm, with the equivalent men’s match taking place from 4:45pm. Earlier in the day, both Tasmania Devils Under 18s programs play at the venue against the Western Jets, with the girls from 9:45am and the boys kicking off at 11:55am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a host of ex-AFLW players in the women’s match including former Giant Zara Hamilton<\/a>, and former Roos, twins Chloe<\/a> and Libby Haines<\/a>. Among the other names to watch are Clarence’s Jemma Webster<\/a> and Penguin’s Shania Saward<\/a> who are both Devils graduates, while Caitlin Reid<\/a> and Olivia Fogarty<\/a> have both had interest from AFLW clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TASMANIA:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n B:\u00a0<\/strong>#21\u00a0Georgia Hill (Launceston),\u00a0<\/strong>#12 Sophie Ranken (Old Launcestonians) INT:<\/strong>\u00a0#9 Maddison Dunn (Bridgenorth), #5 Brieanna Barwick (Glenorchy), #6 Jamie Symons (North Hobart), #24 Emilie Saward (Penguin), Amarli Johnson (Penguin)<\/p>\n\n\n\n CANBERRA\/SYDNEY:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n B: <\/strong>#16 Chloe Anderson (UNSW), #20 Amber Allen (Belconnen) <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the men’s match, Tasmania has plenty of former Devils, while also having over-ager Oscar Van Dam<\/a> making the lineup having gained some traction with fantastic state league form for North Launceston.
