So it's Glen Martin then you're saying? I'll ask him at lunch I suppose to confirm this story...

Finally back at work for a day this week, well done to Hawks on a well deserved victory, best team all year.
Plenty of good players for Hawks, I thought Langford was best on, the most important player on the field. Plugger, don't you do the stats? How many marks did he take, particularly when heading into the breeze, he took some really difficult contested marks. The captain, no. 3 was also good at important times.
It's hard for any individual player to play a good 4 quarters in those conditions.
Good to see the rumour mill has started already, three top coaches out the door, two on their own terms, from what I believe.
Maybe clubs should recruit people who are good at building entertainment precincts, there'll be a bit of that going on over the next two years.
Surely Pittorino unhappy to miss out on the senior GF, but with the coach gone, I'm sure those wounds will heal by the end of cricket season.

Yeh Langerford had a blinder of a game, as far as stats I haven't done them yet. Too many people have wanted to rewatch the match. But if I had to guess he'd be close to Travis Clokes record of most in a game haha.
As far as the rumour mill is concerned, spoke to Glen and him and I had a good chuckle. He informed you will need to speak to his manager being myself before signing any contracts anyways

Haven't been to the club since end of season so not sure but no way would Marto be coming back to Norths. Burnt a few bridges on his way out but got what he wanted so good luck to him. Just a pity he couldn't commit himself to footy with the tigers like he did this year with the Hawks. Maybe we should have met his demands......
As for Lukas, I heard we nealry got him at the start of last year, but now he has a flag and medal under his belt, his price will be through the roof and I don't like our chances. As for why they are both so unpopular amongst opposition supporters, I'd say its something to do with their extreme 'confidence'.
South's Best & Fairest tomorrow night (Sat 24th)

Only rumour Tamba, but i noticed your former coach and the Hawks prez sitting and chatting all after noon at a grand final down here in Vic about two weeks ago, very good mates i believe, wonder if he was down there to recruit a coach, or players.
Good friends they are, and it is good to sit with one you know & one you don't know whilst watching football & chewing the fat,, could be both you never know he just isn't exclusive to us LOL
how ya been any way Duff Man haven't seen a blog from you for awhile don't go to GVFL any more

I would like to think the tigers would welcome both back and that being both backbones to the mighty tigers, that any players like those two, regardless of age would be good fits at the club. They are very confident players and at times, play away from team plans having watched Hawks coach going crazy in finals series at their undisciplined play but you NEED passion in your team. As the hawks saw, a few 50m's doesnt cost you a game in the GF, it won them respect and hardness at the ball and the two players we are talking about in the 2nd half won them a flag!!! Saints were no where to be seen. Why wouldnt the tigers want them!
As for price, if clubs dont pay players they wont win flags. Days are gone where players will put in effort and hard work for free. The club i was volunteering for back south tried it and we won 1 game for the season. Players can earn money either working or playing for clubs who will give up the $$$ and its nice to see having been talking to a few persons of note back at tigerland, that this is the case for next season. We have a great bunch coming forward, we just miss a couple of hard nosed senior players to compliment the young talent we have! Go after them i say!

Is it true Powell has signed as coach for next season? Rumour around my old club in country Vic is that he is signed and is recruiting already........

Hey Tamba,
Is it true Steve Daniels is assisting with the recruitment of new coach? News from home was that he was doing reference checks for your new coach......

Dont think your source is too reliable, word has it that discussions are taking place very soon with committment to be made after hawks coach announced.
Grape vine has suggested Tyson Lane is heading back to hawks, i heard he has burnt bridges with most of hawks, i would see his coaching as being very very good but his relationship with past players being weak as he tried to lure ellich, allick, scyrjour, powell, harbrow, warren over to bulldogs this year with false promises......
Get on board the tigers train!!!!
Too bad the source is Glen Martin himself.

Without being biased I think North Cairns are heading down the right track, and are on a better path to future success than other sides. I feel Saints have set the bar but their core of the club are ageing and losing touch and they will have to wait until the juniors to come through. Hawks are premiers, but I reckon that may be due to spending the most this year. If they can continue to do it, I have nothing against that.
Recruiting here is the toughest I have ever seen. It is a huge effort to get players from outside the league. Footy clubs must work all year round to get players. As for coaches, that would be hell...
Which Powell are you talking about eagerreader? Saints or Hawks? Will Kennedy coach Saints again?

Well could be young Steven is, sorry fellas but not on commiittee this year so am in the dark, as to what the Penguin & his off-sider are scheming,
Give it a chance will ya
most are still getting over Mad Monday or Sunday try again in another month or two
November pre-season? Damnnn
why the urgency its still only Sept. the granny only finished a week ago give them a chance to sort things out
and no need to resort to calling names
Interesting topic doggie, I'd say there would be discussions / emails going around, but you will not find anybody in the know for their respective clubs divulging that information on this forum..

Totally agree! The work coaches do, club committee's and football departments is tireless and very much thankless. Players and supporters arrive at the start of preseason and think at the end of the finals, they have had a tough year........ Brings a smile to my face! I really do admire those amazing people who for no $$$ keep turning up and keeping our league alive! Lets face it, when have the administrators from AFL Cairns set foot in our clubs to have a beer, flip a burger patty and been there to help us! I havent seen them!!!
