Archie Devine (Year 10) has been playing senior football with the North Hobart senior side in the Tasmanian Football League Statewide Competition for the past few rounds. Archie is carrying on the Devine legacy made famous by his dad Robbie during North’s glory years. A premiership player, best and fairest winner, and multiple-time club-leading goal kicker, Robbie Devine dominated Tasmanian football in the early 2000s before retiring in 2010. Archie Devine trains four nights a week with his TSL and Tasmania Devils commitments.
