E3 - From Tassie Turf to the Big League: Trent Bartlett’s Story
From breaking into senior footy as a 15-year-old draftee all the way through to becoming the driving force behind the Tasmanian Devils’ finals pushes in the VFL.
Trent’s journey spans more than two hundred senior games, stints at the Brisbane Bears, Brisbane Lions and Western Bulldogs (81 games), and captaincy of multiple representative sides, including Tassie, Queensland and the VFL.
After overcoming chronic ankle setbacks that sidelined him in 1997, he finally returned home to Tasmania in 2003 and helped reshape the modern era of Tassie Footy, as both a player and an administrator with the original Tassie Devils.
