Tasmania's
Team of the Century

Jamie Cooper

Darrell Baldock is the captain of this impressive team from the Apple isle.

Royce Hart sinks his boot into one as Laurie Nash scoops up a ball whilst the team does a warm up lap around the North Hobart Oval.
The grandstands of Davenport Oval and North Hobart merge together to form the backdrop to this magical scene.

Note:

1. The dog with the saveloy.

2. The famous point post that was removed to prevent a final score at a final at Burnie is seen being carried away in the crowd at right.

3. The helicopter that transported a few celebrating players from Hobart to Launceston hovers above.

4. The gravel on the knees of Ian Stewart from the home ground at Queenstown.

The painting was purchased by a Tasmanian accountant for $37,000 and hangs in the museum in Hobart.
