As a result, the Northern & Coastal clubs banded together in protest and formed the Greater
9835_42
Northern Football League (GNFL) in 1981 in order to disassociate themselves with the TANFL.
9835_43
After its formation, GNFL president Brendon Lyons launched a scathing attack on TANFL president
9835_44
John Bennett, accusing him of hatching plans aimed at denigrating Northern football by attempting
9835_45
to take six clubs to the statewide competition and seeking to demote the remaining uninvited clubs
9835_46
to junior status.
9835_47
The TANFL, as the sport's governing body in Tasmania responded by introducing new qualification
9835_48
entries for players named for state duties, ruling that all players must play in the TANFL to be
9835_49
included in the squad, effectively banning all players from northern leagues from participating in
9835_50
the Tasmanian representative teams.
9835_51
On 10 June 1982, the TANFL executive met at TFL House in Hobart and decided to put an end to talk
9835_52
of a statewide competition vowing to go it alone meaning that the GNFL could finish and a return to
9835_53
three separate leagues could resume.
