Good Sports – 2025 – Tasmanian Club of the Year

Last Thursday at Parliament House, Canberra – the Hobart Football Club, was recognised as the 2025 Good Sports Club of the Year for Tasmania.

In 2023 our club was on its knees, with our senior mens team going into recess and the club fielding a stand alone reserves side to try and keep our club’s hundred plus year history going.

Our entire focus since then has been on recruiting good people, as players, volunteers and board members. We’ve worked really hard to create a positive environment and to grow. We’ve made some tough choices to move some players on who’s values and behaviours don’t align with our desired culture.

We’ve now grown to incorporate senior mens, reserves, u18s. Masters mens and womens, and a senior womens side returning for this year. We’ve worked hard to get into schools and grow our juniors, with limited success so far but more to come.

This award is a real recognition of the work of our board, coaches and our players who have bought into our vision and have created a fantastic place to be. All of them can be proud of this award.

Vale Burnie Payne

It is with a very heavy heart that we share the passing of Hobart Football Club and Tasmanian football champion, Burnie Payne.
A brilliant rover/forward across an extraordinary career from 1956–73, Burnie played:
– 238 games and 508 goals for Hobart
– 15 games and 27 goals for St Kilda in 1964
– 50 games for Kingston, where he also served as captain‑coach
His achievements were remarkable:
– Four TANFL premierships with Hobart (1959, 1960, 1963, 1966)
– 1959 state premiership
– Two William Leitch Medals (1965, 1966)
– Hobart Best & Fairest (1963)
– Three-time leading goalkicker
– 16 games for Tasmania, including the 1966 and 1969 National Carnivals
– Weller Arnold Medal (1969)
– Named in Hobart’s ‘Greatest Team 1947–2002’
– Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame inductee
Burnie was one of the most decorated and influential players in Hobart’s history. Debuting at just 16, he became a key figure in the club’s golden era, forming part of the legendary “Three P’s” rucking combination and consistently performing as one of the finest footballers in the state. His brief but impressive stint at St Kilda only further highlighted his class.
After returning home, he continued to excel—on the field, as a leader, and later as captain‑coach—leaving an indelible mark on Tasmanian football. Those who played with him, watched him, or knew him will forever remember his skill, humility, and competitive spirit.
Rest in peace, Champ.
Heartfelt condolences to Keitha and the Payne family.
