My name is Simon Wood. I am a Darwin-based musician and producer, performing modern songs about AFL in the vein of Kevin Johnson, Mike Brady and Paul Kelly.

I wanted to get in touch with you at the Tasmanian Times about The Thing About Tasmania, a new ‘call to arms’ song in support of Tasmania’s push for an AFL team. It is a singalong for Tasmanian footy fans willing to lend their voice to the fight for oval-shaped justice.

I hope that the song can play a role in galvanising support for the Tasmanian license in the national AFL and AFLW competitions, an important and well-overdue development.
