Things have got really heated here! I dont think its fair on both parties! So lets set the record straight here! I am in the know and will confirm all the facts of what has happened! An email was sent to the club committee on Wednesday last week informing them of the decision of captaincy for...

I think using 'pushed' is not being honest in the matches i viewed last year. When they nearly beat saints at watsons, the opposition were missing a number of their players and having watch the saints the game before, looked to be trying a number of new plans. The last game against the hawks...

Yes Dixon is a police officer based in Mareeba. My mail was is that he was supposed to sign and having been around the club in last 2 weeks, i was lead to believe this was a done deal. Although i understood he was going to assume a coaching role and then i read that Steve Davies has landed this...

I am a tiger through and through but its time to stop talking the talk and begin walking the walk. Developing a young group of players is and has been since 2005, very testing. I agree, Richter is the right person and having Hanlon in the background advising has been a wonderful addition. I have...

Anyone know any news on recruits???

I like to refrain from communicating with any gusto that might offend a reader of this forum. COLLO LANE IS NOT NOT NOT NOT COACHING in 2012!!! Tyson has told me as he was approached to be an advisor for a club for the 2012 season that due to personal and business reason, he WILL NOT BE...

I cant help but NOT feel sorry for the crocs. They are continually allowed to NOT invest in juniors and INVEST in players to fly in and fly out season after season. I suppose you can when you pay ONLY $800 a year in ground expenses, electricity, water and waste, maintenance of the club and club...

It amazes me to read this stuff about Coach Griffiths. This forum has been informed by the person himself, yet there is still rubbish about the reasons for why this coach has come and gone. Kimble, flick back and read the blurbs, yes he may have been disliked but the common mail around the...

Collo i was only down at the club last week, he hadnt signed and wanted to wait until after xmas to discuss it with his partner, has this taken place since last Friday? If so, carn the tigers?

I am thinking that Ben Hallas needs to work on other areas of his game than to be trying to size up and match his frame to a person nick named 'plugg3r'.

Eagle is not returning, secured with redlands for another year. Has a very good deal with job tied in. Do know this 100% concrete as Eagle plays along side 2 of our juniors who have comfirmed the club has announced internally he will be staying. All reports, a great club person and big asset off...

Along way off the mark from the mail i have! White comannds to much and has a bad reputation from Mt Gravatt where he was booted from. Lane is not coaching at all and has not submitted an application. Dewis is on the Gold Coast doing school as my club was interested in him and he was keen to...

I have been told that Saints have appointed Powell and have obtained the services of an assistant coach from country Vic. Mark Kennedy will take up a football advisor role at the club and Max O'halloran will assist when required too as sideline coach / board operator. Lachrilly, have you...

I hope they do also! Heard a VERY interesting comment about Port Douglas ONLY paying $800 a year in ground expenses and fees that include ground servicing, costs, electricity, water and waste, maintenance and upgrades. Sound hard to believe....... Under their 'classification' thats ALL the...

Sounds good in that light. That is just how it worked back in the league i was associated in. Worked well and they players split evenly or went to the next level leagues or near by associations.

This would be quite complexed as AFL Cairns have invested heaps. Similar to the Port Adelaide scenario we are seeing in the AFL. Does the league let the club fold and sign off on it as a poor investment or does the league reinvest even though the have committed all their money to the cazalys...

Well said! Add Port Douglas to the list as well!

I think its a terrific notion, netty clubs and afl clubs need to work together to ensure clubs survive and good way to keep the missus happy while having a beer watching the footy if she is off playing netball. Everyones a winner i reckon! :thumbsu: Must admit though, the lonely cabinet was...

Attraction was family for the partner of the coach the cutters were so close to signing. But agree, Cairns is a much more attractive prospect!:thumbsu:

This is what i know and has come from a CAFL Devel Officer.... Lions position in the AFL Cairns Comp for 2012 is currently being reviewed with the financial position of the club being examined by auditors. As i leaked last week, the AGM will be the venue for the club to release financial...

i will message you details but its a fun club. I have only come back to FNQ recently but was a member and on committee for a few years when my business allowed me. Love my tigers and loyal richmond supporter. We are a young club and like most, we gone through some hard times but without fear of...

Heard from Josh Barnes who works with my son. Josh clarified it with Lance Dixon (pres) so pretty good authority i would think shavedham. But always open to new suggestions, what have you heard differently?

Stability? ha ha perhaps i have misunderstood your reference but i would consider 'stable or stability' referring to something thats very shakey. The Cairns competition, i believe, is the best regional competition outside of Bris Metro and QAFL levels. The bottom two teams are foundation...

BEST OF LUCK with Qantas Collo! I am hearing Dixon is very reluctant, just rang Deano and he said he is talking but reality is being a Police Officer, shift work will mean he will miss games and training and that will be unsettling both personally and socially and is influencing his decision...

I am reluctant to take alot of notice of someone who says they are a 'country star' as blokes who blow their own horn, often end up having to blow the coaches 'horn' to get a game as they arent what they have said they are in terms of ability levels. Are you in Cairns area? Do you play? or just...

Pretty standard process for clubs in finals. Not sure there is much more to discuss there! Although having an outlet in Port Douglas, i was told they did have shirts made up but i am not suprised at all by that. The club is very misguided in its direction, culture it tries to forward...

Watsons, do you think we will get netty courts in before end of Nov? Is there going to be a working bee?

To confirm, the Saints boys were out both Sunday and Monday nights as i happened to pass them and join their 'ex' president for a beer to catch about some signage i am trying to get him to do for my business. Cannot confirm Saturday night tho. That being said, after a big volume of beer 3...

FINALLY some sense has been spoken! Was a wonderful day of football but i do believe AFL Cairns needs to have a serious think as to how serious the league is about hosting AFL level games at the venue. The wind advantage is gone far and beyond a JOKE! That was the only negative comment on the...

You are saying that no 48 Hislop was better than Coatsworth and Powell in the GF? I certainly hope not as when i looked around in the grandstand i did not see anyone holding a lead that was attached to guide dog. Coatsworth with his goals, forward and defensive running and Powell with his in...
