TASMANIA has suffered a big blow to the VFL team's engine room ahead of this weekend's away clash against North Ballarat, with key midfielder Paul Koulouriotis set to miss up to eight weeks with a cracked bone in his right foot.

The former Geelong ball magnet has been playing with discomfort since the pre-season and further damaged the injured foot at training on Monday.

X-rays yesterday confirmed the extent of the problem, with the midfielder now weighing up whether to have surgery on the foot.

Koulouriotis, 26, has been in solid form for the Devils and his loss, coupled with the unavailability of Mariners Aaron Cornelius and Mitch Robinson, will test the depth of the Devils squad.

Tasmania's VFL coach Daryn Cresswell has attempted to lure former West Coast Eagles star Ben Cousins to the Devils.

Cousins was banned for a year by the AFL for bringing the game into disrepute but he is allowed to play at a lower level.

The premiership player and Brownlow medallist has been invited to train with the Devils but is yet to take up the offer.

ENDING the partial alliance with the Kangaroos has revived the Devils' spirit, says Tasmania's five-goal hero Alex Gilmour.

The Devils returned to the VFL winning list with a three-point victory over Box Hill on Sunday, despite holding the same lead at the final change and kicking into a strong wind.

"I always thought the best thing for Tasmanian footy would be as a stand-alone club," Gilmour said yesterday.

"The group is together, a close group centralised down here in Hobart.

"There is nobody flying in, flying out, trying to get AFL games, playing for themselves. It is just a group of Tasmanians all going in the one direction trying to get the same result."

The Tasmanian Devils newest recruit believes the team will be much improved after taking last year's wooden spoon.

Tasmanian-born Tim Hazell has signed with the Devils for one year.

The 26 year old utility has been with VFL rivals Port Melbourne for the past three years and also played five AFL games with Hawthorn in 2001.

Hazell says he'll be trying to help coach Daryn Cresswell improve the Devil's fortunes in 2008.
