Does anyone know if Football Tasmania pencil in these awards nights and let clubs know early in the season so there is no clashes with Club awards.
A little bit of advice for the Representatives from Football Tasmania.how about you mingle with the people at the events to help close the gap between the players and the administration as they only mingled amounts themselves.

Anon 11.42 am. And we wonder why the sport is poorly managed in this state ?
That are are disgrace to the game.

Yet another Leszczynski Walter. Must be a story in that family.

Football Tas should simply get Walter to run their Media the people currently involved are only in it for the $$$!

Agreed Rick 8.43am
What a legacy this family has created. Chris, Andrew, Mark and Richard have all played top level football in the state. Chris' son Alex played in the NPL. Andrew's son Sam won the 2021 Vic Tuting Medal - and could play NPL if he wanted to. Richard's daughter Sophie played in the WSL, and is now playing for Adelaide City in the WNPL. His other daughter, Natalia, is currently playing in the WSL. Most have also represented Tasmania at some stage in their career.
What an outstanding football family.

Congratulations to all the winners, thoroughly deserved. FT what a fabulous ceremony (insert sarcasm), dedicating one whole hour to the 'lesser' leagues. Poorly organised, 'lets get through it quickly because we have better things to do' I despair of the whole organisation or should that be lack of. Once again there is no notoriety to be had publicly so we shall treat it as such.

Unfortunately while us players continue to pay the stupid amount money to this crap organisation to play the game we love nothing will change and it’s as simple as that
