Tasmania's VFL Team Surprises by Securing Finals Spot

Tasmania's VFL team, the Devils, entered their inaugural 2026 season with low expectations, but they have successfully secured a spot in the finals.

As the home-and-away season concluded, the team reflected on their journey, which began with challenges such as a lack of training facilities and players. Coach Jeromey Webberley noted the team's initial goal was to win more games than they lost, a target that seemed unrealistic at the start.

The club's pre-season was particularly demanding, designed to foster team unity and ensure players were fit for competition. Webberley emphasized the importance of building connections among players from various regions and states across Australia, which has been a key factor in their success this season.
