Time when fellow meets another islander (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tasmanian

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'another islander' is the definition.
'tasmanian' can be an answer for 'islander' (someone from Tasmania). I'm not sure about the 'another' bit.

'time when fellow meets' is the wordplay.
'time when' becomes 'tasman' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'fellow' becomes 'ian' (man's name).
'meets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tasman'+'ian'='TASMANIAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tasmanian that I've seen before include "Aussie statesman" , "Ferocious Australian marsupial" , "One from Hobart, say" , "Islander" , "of island" .)
