Jane Howlett,Minister for Sport and Recreation
Congratulations to Glenorchy’s Perri King, North Launceston’s Ella Maurer and Burnie’s Meagan Kiely for being selected in last night’s AFLW Draft.
This is a tremendous reward for the Tassie trio’s efforts over the past few years and I am so delighted to see three more Tasmanians set to realise their dreams of playing at the highest level.
Last night’s result is also testament to the growth and strength of our State’s female football program, as participation in the sport continues to exceed expectations.
It will also bring the number of Tasmanians in the AFLW to 12, proving that we continue to punch well above our weight as a proud football State.

The Tasmanian Liberal Government is delivering infrastructure upgrades to meet the growing needs of today’s racing participants, as well as the next generation.
Today I have announced further detail about our $3 million investment into one-off infrastructure upgrades at the Longford Racecourse, the Brighton Training Centre and the Devonport Racing Club, delivering on our commitment in our first 100 day plan.
The greyhound, harness and thoroughbred training tracks at the Brighton Training centre are used 365 days a year by trainers across all three codes.
Funding of $800,000 will be provided to these facilities to address infrastructure needs including important track drainage upgrades and improvements to the Brighton Greyhound Straight track and lure replacement.
