The Teams – Round 1
After a long pre-season the TSL is finally upon us, with a Good Friday footy feast set to get the new year underway.
The teams are in for round one, with some new and returning faces headlining selection news.
Former St. Kilda forward Spencer White will be making his TSL debut for North Hobart when his Demons tackle the Tigers, while former Tasmania Devils captain Nic Baker and ex-Glenorchy and Cygnet player James Webb will slot into the grand finalists’ round one outfit.
North Launceston will be eager to celebrate club stalwart Jack Avent’s 200th game in style, with Avent’s premiership teammate Connor Young coming back into the fold to give Brad Cox-Goodyer’s side some additional experience and height.
There’s fresh faces aplenty for Launceston, with a raft of players with strong Development League experience set to take the step up, headlined by 2022 Eade Medallist Samuel Foley and 2022 Development League premiership captain Liam Canny. 2022 Tasmania Devils best and fairest Liam Jones also looms as an exciting full-time addition to the reigning premiers.
Reigning Hudson Medallist Colin Garland, who had announced his retirement following last year’s Preliminary Final, is set to make a sensational return, named at half forward for Clarence’s Speak UP! Stay ChatTY Cup clash with Lauderdale. The ‘Roos will also be bolstered by the return of ex Tasmania Devil Noah Holmes, as well as former Devil, Lauderdale and Sorell player Mitch Anderton. Captain Jarrod Harper will miss through injury.
Phil Bellchambers, meanwhile, returns to Lauderdale after a season in Victoria.
