The 2015 AFL Masters National Carnival will be held in Hobart and Launceston.
- Game 1 Sunday October 4 in Launceston
- Game 2 Wednesday October 7 in Hobart
- Game 3 Saturday October 10 in Hobart
Players are advised to fly into Launceston no later than Friday October 2 to settle in for the AFL Grand Final the next day. We have organised an AFL Masters Grand Final function at the Launceston Country Club.
Game 1 will be held at Aurora Stadium and at the Launceston Football Club, Windsor Park. We plan to have busses take us to the grounds, but more of that later one accommodation deals have been finalised.
The not-to-be-missed QLD night will also be held at the Launceston Country Club on Monday October 5 where we will continue the tradition of naming the QLD Superman of the Year.
On Tuesday, we have organised busses to transport us from Launceston to Hobart, stopping via a winery/hotel for a nice lunch on the way.
Games 2 and 3 will be held at North Hobart, Gielston Bay and Lindisfarne AFL clubs, and once again we plan to have busses to take us from our hotel to the grounds.
On Thursday October 8, the Wrest Point Casino will run the first ever AFL Masters National Texas Hold'Em Poker Tournament. Each State will provide 8 players for a knockout tournament to determine the best poker player in the land. And if this happens to be a Queenslander, pressure will be put on the Treasurer to celebrate in style. There will also be other free to play poker tables for all other players wanting to get involved, along with a band, cheap drinks and food to make a great night out.
The presentation will be held at Salamanca Wharf on Saturday October 10 and will be a silver service 3 course dinner and drinks included.
Depart for home or further travels in Tasmania from Sunday October 11.
ACTION: If you are planning to go, book your flights now!! There is 1 direct Jetstar flight Brisbane to Launceston, currently at $169, 1 flight via Sydney and 1 flight via Melbourne. Virgin only has 1 flight via Sydney and one via Melbourne. With this being the Grand Final week, flights via Melbourne will become ridiculously expensive, so get in early. Don't worry about accommodation or transport at this stage, just get your flights organised.
More details and the carnival form will be made available shortly once all details are known.
We are also planning a special QLD commemorative scarf as part of the carnival uniform to honour the Mitchells and Wolfie and this will become a must have collector's item.
