Tasmania have played an inspired brand of football in recent weeks and after their first home win in over a year at Bellerive val last week they hoped to continue this against the Bullants.

With the Bullants up by just two points at three-quarter time it wasn’t until late in the last quarter that the home side held their own to come away with a win. David Teague and David Ellard kicked three goals with Carlton rookie Ellard best for the Bullants.
