Devils claim third straight premiership at AFL Open

Tasmania’s Inclusion side has claimed its third straight national title in the Division One Grand Final at the AFL Open. 
The Devils fought off a strong South Australian side to take out the decider by 25 points (22-47).  

Tasmania sailed through the week’s competitions unbeaten, the side almost untouchable on the field to claim their third national title in a row.
Captain Blake Bonnitcha starred for the side, booting three goals and was backed up by Craig Blaschke with two majors.  
“This team is like family, they do a remarkable job and it’s pretty good to have a third one in a row, it’s an achievement for all,” Bonnitcha said.
Tasmania’s Wheelchair side managed a strong campaign in the Division One competition but went down against Victoria in the semi-final.
The AFL Open is the flagship national event for footballers with an intellectual disability and wheelchair players will see each state and territory represented, with the addition of a wheelchair team from the RSL and a blind & low vision exhibition match with players from the Victorian Blind League. 
The 2025 AFL Open was held at La Trobe University Sports Precinct in Bundoora, Victoria.
