Tasmania could have their own team in the VFL in 2021 as part of a vision being developed to drive football forward in the state.
AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan is expected to visit Tasmania on Friday with a set of recommendations after the AFL announced the Tasmanian State League would continue in 2019.

MARK Weideman played for Coburg. On Saturday his son Sam played against the Burgers — and played stylishly and superbly.
As his father watched on, rugged up at a cold and wet Casey Fields ground, the third-year Melbourne forward booted 7.0 for the Casey Demons, leading the home team to a emphatic win, 16.12 (108) to 4.7 (31).
Dees senior coach Simon Goodwin was at the match and his eye was presumably taken by Weideman’s sure marking and certain kicking.
It was his best return at the VFL.

IT has been booted off its ground for the third time season, but Port Melbourne Football Club is likely to get some good news about North Port Oval next week.
Port Phillip Council this afternoon confirmed it was trying to bring forward the planned reconstruction of the playing surface to this year.
If funding for the multimillion-dollar project is approved at a meeting on June 20 the works will start at the end of the season.
