There is no better example of the importance of the state’s AFL license to young Tasmanians than the story of Ian Callinan.
A star junior, the Rokeby product was the epitome of the natural footballer – highly skilled on both left and right foot and with an uncanny sense of where the goals were.
But despite a glittering football resume, Callinan’s dream of being drafted to the AFL was a cruel tale of continual rejection.
It took a move away from Tasmania to deliver a belated chance at the highest level and he took it with both hands.
Now back home living in Hobart, Callinan has overcome a fresh challenge, having suffered a stroke at the age of 37.
