COACH Daryn Cresswell is optimistic that Tasmania will be a much improved team in the second half of the season.
Cresswell has had a tough initiation to VFL coaching with the side languishing on the bottom of the ladder with one win from seven games.
"Although we are 1-6, at three-quarter time in three of those six losses we have been in front," Cresswell said.
"That's because we are so young, a new team. A lot of these guys haven't played much footy together."
Cresswell is among many Tasmanians angered at the state being overlooked in favour of a New South Wales-Queensland team in tentative plans for an AFL State-of-Origin series next season.
"It is pretty ridiculous. We are a traditional footy state down here," Cresswell said of the snub.
"Queensland and New South Wales get it served up to them on a silver platter, the money . . .
"We would beat Queensland (State-of-Origin team). They are a bit fragile.
