I heard the ambulance had shown up, but they then had a call for a cardiac arrest and had to prioritise that. Poor kid was on the gas and they were too scared to try and take him to the hospital by car because of how badly his leg was

You mean it will all end? What a relief!

So Hobart are struggling to field two teams. Nth Hobart field two teams but filled with junior footballers. Both now need to find at least an extra half a team each (plus all the other bits that go into fielding a team like trainers, water boys and girls, stewards, timekeepers etc.). And if...

Surely what Wade's asking for now would mean neither Nth Hobart or Hobart would be interested in the license. To paraphrase "we'll appoint the board, the members will have no say, and the jumper must have either red, blue, black and yellow or none of those colours". What's Wade's plan if both...

There is an old thread on here somewhere where Kingpin discussed the decline of the old State league. I think it traces back to the early 90's, although had probably started before that. You had the recession that came in, the start of all day trading on Saturdays (this took away crowds, and...

I would think the question mark on Richmond is not if they can beat the top teams, but if they can win away from home. Last few years they have built a fortress down at Richmond but barely a win away from home. DOSA look like they are doing what OHA did last year, albeit not quite undefeated...

Agreed that the competition is looking better this year. Should be a tough fight for the top 4 this season. The influx of ex-TSL players certainly lifts the standard! From what I can tell the 8 not playing were Langford, Zakauskas, Orchard, Bannister, Unsworth, Bateman, Fenton and Thomson. I...

Looking at the team on Sporting pulse from the weekend there were 8 missing from last years Grand Final (which includes Langford) plus Jury (who didn't play in the GF) is obviously suspended for most of the season. Of those 8, I'm only aware of 3 that definitely aren't playing (one of which is...

It would seem to me that rather than a discussion about the licenses and where teams play, there needs to be some direction forthcoming from AFLTas on what the TSL aims to achieve? Is it a competition that provides a pathway for young talent to make it to the AFL? Is it a competition that is...

From where I was sitting Brennan should be thankful he only got 6 weeks!!! A smaller player, looking away after disposing the ball and he came in (feet off the ground) with elbow raised. The response of Wells and DeGooyer was immediate and swift - but deserved weeks as well. In saying that...

If you don't count the draw between Hutchins and OHA a few weeks ago...

I don't think we want to get into a debate about the "glory" years of the old TFL against the current TSL - at least not here anyway. Suffice to say that today's game is obviously based on high skill levels, fast movement and uncontested football as much as possible. I think the bigger point...

Was watching a few old grand finals from the mid 80s and early 90s with a few ex players (Glenorchy and Clarence which always makes things interesting) last Friday night and apart from the size of the crowds, the comments were generally about how the quality of the play would stack up against...

I think it was something like 8 goals to 2 during the 2nd quarter. Then Gracie went down and Wazza did a hammie (had kept Palfreyman to only 1 at that point). Hutchins ahead by 8 points at 3 quarter time and ended up 18 goals to 10. Banner was absolutely seething and had us doing extra...

"It would have to be Cressa." Up against guys like Eade, Robert Shaw, Chris Fagan, Paul Hamilton, David Noble...all guys with some kind of runs on the board. Bound to be a few more out there that I haven't thought of.

"Big Beauie is strapping on the boots again is he? I played with him at Friends for 2 seasons, he was the dominant player in the competition, if only he learnt to kick for goal. Some of you may remember him having a shot after the siren for Tas in their innaugral VFL season. He needed a goal to...

Neitz was born in Tassie, but I'm not sure we would get rights on him. Who would be the coach? Fair few Tassie and ex-Tassie guys as AFL coaches and ass. coaches.

Number 29 as an outsider? - G Ablett, Pavlich, B Harvey, Scotland, Ash Hansen, Alwyn Davey, Roe, N Krakeour

Not sure if this counts as worst recyclyed player but would be one of the worst trades: Sierakowski for the G-Train...Siera did his knee and was a dud when he did play, G-Train has won a Coleman or two.

Did anyone read the paper the other day about the young Dodges player that was in court for belting a club patron with a baseball bat after a club function? Does anyone know when this happened? My understanding is it happened at the start of last year and was the reason why Dodges wouldn't...

Here's a few more names from the late 80's and early 90's: The Riewoldt brothers (Chris, Peter & Ray) Tim Neville, David Page, Andrew "Caveman" Scott, Sean Williams (career ruined by major knee injury after being thrown onto West Park bike track), Duncan Hurd, Scott McCallum (Played U/17s...
