Big news down here in Victoria at the moment. From memory this kid played at Port Douglas in the 2010 Grand Final and as recently as last year? Is this a surprise?
Lamprill on $1200 a game, we just outbid another club. While the midfielders are on $500 a game, $200 a clearance and $100 for every girl they date whilst in Cairns. You are a tool CCL... Why would you even write that? The good thing is, Saints only formed because some good people hated being at...
Cairns City Lion - why do you think Cairns Saints have won premierships? Because they pay each player more than they were offered at other clubs. I only went there for the cash, it was more than the $300 a game City Lions offered me. Player payments were $180,000 in 2011, head over and check the...
Sinclair is experienced, will get results immediately at a club and has turned many clubs down here from bottom to finals, but I don't think it comes cheaply. He certainly has the contacts. He is a quick fix coach, I am not up to speed on Manunda at the moment but I doubt that is what they are...
I read the below article in the Herald Sun yesterday. Spoke to a few people involved in the NEAFL league it sounds like AFL Cairns and AFLQ could not agree on anything. Cairns wants a side, AFLQ wants a North Queensland side. Cairns have the money and didn't want to spend it on the other 3 North...
Just had a look at the footage. Did he really get off? I can't even think of a defence for it. Easy 2 weeks if you did that here in Victoria. Setting a pretty average example at AFL Cairns. How much say do Rick Hanlon and Kane Richter have up there now?
Spot on Smy, the quality of talent that has come and gone through the junior Cairns ranks is evidence that Cairns is the logical location for the team.
I didn't know about the AFL funding towards this side but that would help. Cazalys in Cairns is a very profitable operation and from my...
Looks like a FNQ side will enter the NEAFL competition next year. Finer details are just being completed. One of those details will be whether it is a Cairns side, or a side that comes from the major AFLQ country cities (Cairns, Townsville, Mackay and maybe Rockhampton). Each city has a squad...
On paper he is highly regarded, but since my last post on here I have heard and seen otherwise. Obviously there are some on field umpiring concerns (as to be expected, that is the beauty of our game) but from my understanding he isn't winning many friends up there.
Going by a video that I was...
Great to see the first female umpire officiate a senior game last weekend in Cairns. Any reports on how she went? An old boundary umpire from the league said the new umpires boss has cleared out a lot of the old umpires and recruited a lot of youth. The umpiring up there compared with Victoria...
I doubt Hocking will return but it would be great for Port. Kennedy won't play.
A few departures at Saints, Gill the obvious one. A few other senior premiership players won't be in Cairns in 2013. Fitzpatrick and Hislop have confirmed they are moving south, along with O'Toole. Another 4 senior...
I think all this would do is turn good footballers away from coming up to Cairns. Finding jobs has been hard, and this does not help clubs recruit good footballers and good people. The point system they have in place now is good as it stops players up here club jumping, and I agree that allowing...
yes it has Plugger!! Where have you been?
Dontargue - Does that make Withers a plodder? and Gribble? and Bradford? I would not call those players plodders at all, I reckon all 3 of them together are the best midfield in the competition. Powell is probably quicker than all of those players. I...
Why attack individual people on here? Say it to them during the game whilst your playing.
2 great games this weekend, I hope weather nor injuries play no part in the results. Obviously gribble is already out which is a big loss and ellich will return. I'll tip Norths for that reason, but by the...
Tamba - it was great to see the South supporters congratulating Walshy and hanging around for a beer afterwards. Lance and co are doing a good job representing the club down there and many Saints supporters commented on it afterwards.
If the team can find 3 more Daniel Lock's they would be...
They were designed, but not ordered as they had to be accepted by the League. We changed as we are no longer the Grand Hotel Cairns Saints. So the logo was removed. It was decided last year that we no longer wanted black.
I am surprised that the league allowed all the jumpers this year.. On...
We knew all about the Carter situation when he came across to Saints. He had done no wrong to us, we didn't and haven't done any extra for him. He has to do what the club expects of him. There are some expectations in place for everyone at the club and if he does them, I am sure he will be back...
Souths v Port is a huge game, I reckon the winner of this game will play finals. I'll tip Port.
Saints v Norths could be interesting if Saints find themself behind again. Naturally going with the Saints to bounce back.
Lions v Centrals is the last chance ball for Lions to win this year. I...
Your choice of name is interesting Lukascheats, and the way you dub others (mobility, size) is also an enlightening topic ;) . Hearing your piercing voice from the bar gave it all away on Saturday. May I ask why no one stayed around for a beer after the game? Saints pride themselves on at least...
See on the clearances that Chris Adams has returned to Cairns and is now at Cairns City Lions, excellent gain for them on the footy field but not sure he will be the difference between bottom place and finals. He will make a difference to their midfield for next year if he decides to stay...
There are and were heaps of options. But none were as good as playing a game of footy on Saturday like we always do. The floods did more than just stop a game of footy, so many people involved in this game were effected.
MjRob and Clint Williams, bad luck for missing out on your match payments...
Some people play football socially, it is not an honour to play representative football, they just want to play with their mates at their home club. Same arguement every year, the people who want to play and get the glory, make themself available.
The issue with Cairns is that players book...
Have they just picked the best players from each side or have selectors gone for positions?
Players that I reckon are stiff from clubs other than Saints would be Allick (Hawks), Gasgoyne (Souths). I am sure there are more.
From the Saints the following have just as much reason as their...
As a coach I don't think Nick can be questioned. He has recruited players to the club, set a game plan and standard that is being met each week and set clear expectations of his players prior to game and throughout the week. You are right though, if would be tough coaching from the sidelines and...
Whoever has done the rankings has not seen the Ellinbank and District League for a while. I would have you guys higher than a few of the leagues above ranked above. I hope players have made themselves available from this league as the best from the EDFL will beat the North Central League.
Isn't everyone on here tough? I have nothing to be jealous of at bass except the massive pay packer they each get at the end of the game. I would like one of those for not caring.
Pretty easy to get in the best when you are a backman in a strong team in a crap league. Especially when the...
Bronson is an over paid footballer who would run around in the early game in most other leagues. Much the same as most of his team mates who could not care less where the club will be in 10 years time. He wanted to look good in front of his mates and hit a pretty handy type in Cade. A good solid...
Beat me to it Saint... No angels at any club but there must be a line in the sand that you don't cross as a coach, probably a bit unluckly that it happened in front of a crowd of Saints players who recognised him.
His quad seemed ok though and should be right for this weeks game.
Great weekend...
Leo did you just say 'Jess Attenborough' and 'Big Gun' in the same sentence? You must either be him or have spoken to him without seeing him play.
Rob Quaife junior will wreck his career unless he finds some loyalty. He can be a good player but he is not good enough to switch teams in a league...
