The Hobart City Football Club (trading name: Hobart City Demons) was an Australian rules football club which competed in the Tasmanian State Football League (TSL) from 2014 to 2017 and were based in Hobart, Tasmania.
History Hobart City was established as a football club in December 2013, in preparation for entrance in the Tasmanian State League for the 2014 season. The club was formed to provide a pathway for the junior clubs within the CBD boundaries. Ex North Hobart Football Club President Bruce Free accepted a 50% ownership with the Hobart Football Club, however Hobart withdrew and AFL Tasmania took the other 50% ownership. The North Hobart Football Club has since obtained 100% ownership. The most significant change is the North Hobart Football Club will change from an incorporated body and become a company limited by guarantee with a new constitution and board structure.City confident; Tigers realistic
