List of Tasmanian Football League records

Last updated March 15, 2022

This is a list of Tasmanian Football League records.

Record games holder: TANFL

352 – Steane Kremerskothen (Launceston / Clarence / North Launceston) from 1982–1999
274 – Kevin Baker (Glenorchy) from 1957–1974

Note: After the TANFL went to a statewide competition in 1986–1987, Steane Kremerskothen broke the all-time record with 303 TFL matches playing for Clarence and North Launceston/Northern Bombers until 1999. As a prerequisite of the league going statewide, it was deemed that the regional competitions (TANFL, NTFA and NWFU) of pre-1986 were now granted equal status and therefore Kremerskothen's 49 matches with Launceston in the NTFA from 1982–1984 gave him 352 senior matches at Tier One level, also an all-time record.^[1]
