Victoria Point will have a powerful presence in this weekend’s interstate clash, with five local stars selected in Queensland’s final 23-man team to take on Tasmania. The maroon jersey will be worn with pride by Adrian Williams, Clay Cameron, Matt Hammelmann, Charlton Offermans, and Dylan Smith, all representing Redland Victoria Point Football Club.
The Queensland side, coached by Steve Daniel, will face Tasmania at Latrobe Recreation Ground on Saturday 5 July 2025, with the men’s match scheduled for 2:15 pm AEST, following the women’s game at 12 pm. Both matches will be livestreamed on AFL Queensland’s YouTube channel.
Daniel, returning to lead the state side for the first time in more than a decade, said the squad was chosen to match Tasmania’s strength and physicality.
“2025 brings an exciting new challenge against Tasmania who over the last two years have been too good for us,” Daniel said in an AFL Queensland media release. “So with that comes optimism and excitement to try and turn the tables. We have been able to establish a very combative team that is ready to put their best foot forward to contribute and help guide Queensland to victory.”
Redland Brings the Heat
The five Redland Victoria Point players will be spread across the ground in key roles:
- Adrian Williams (Full Back) — A key defender known for his intercept work and consistency.
- Clay Cameron (Half Forward) — Former Gold Coast SUNS player who adds structure and leadership.
- Matt Hammelmann (Full Forward) — Ex-Brisbane Lion and a proven goal-scorer at state level.
- Charlton Offermans (Ruck) — A commanding presence in stoppages.
- Dylan Smith (Centre) — A versatile midfielder from Redland’s premiership-winning squad.
Their selection underscores Redland Victoria Point’s continued strength in the QAFL and its ability to develop talent for elite representative honours.
A Squad Built on Experience and Potential
The team includes several former AFL-listed players, including Jarrod Cameron (Sherwood), Kyle Dunkley (Coorparoo), Matt Hammelmann and Cam Ellis-Yolmen (Surfers Paradise), alongside top QAFL performers from clubs across Queensland.
