rumours going around that Richter is playing against hawks on friday?
I can't believe how negative you all are about such a huge step forward for Australian Rules Football in Cairns! If you nit pick at the negatives and look for them, then you'll find them. Yet if you focus on the positives and see that the region NEEDS this for footy to improve up here, then it will work.
It will attract many young footballers that haven't made it in other more traditionally strong areas, give them another avenue to make it. The CAFL will need to pay footballers, as you do in such a competition, then the locals will grow to see this team as an acheivable goal then you're away. Don't forget there are only 22 in a team and the remaining that are not picked will filter down through the remaining clubs.
It can happen, should happen, and I have no doubt will happen! And I for one cannot wait!

Totally agree Dr Kimble!!!
I saw this looser carry on to those players and having been sitting next to a former Crathern Medalist, his wife and kids, it was totally unacceptable! Further proof he isnt the complete package and is not going to get players 'playing for him'. He is constantly abusing players from the sidelines, umpires, abusing his own players and is a terrible role model of the league to be put in as head coach. He isnt the best coach, the best coach out coached him last year in the GF, inspired his team to run rings around a 'team of all stars' and viola is a current day coach who stills continues to impliment a blue print playing a brand of footy that i saw the U12's at Gordonvale using also last Sunday. WAKE UP AFL CAIRNS. Ricter, Griffith, Coatsworth and Seymour are all good young coaches and under the guidance of Hanlon, could develop a need breed of 'respected coaches' and not endorse a emotionally charge and aggressive meat head that has lost the complete respect of much of elite players in the comp.
$10 says Lucas let's his team down by getting sent of for doing stupid crap
Spot on, as soon as they were down, he and a few other hawks started looking for the man to get their shots in on instead of the ball, need some discipline over there urgently, this can cost hawks games.$10 says Lucas let's his team down by getting sent of for doing stupid crap............ That's if the hawks are down though
Very good game to watch last night by both sides last night, a great 2nd quarter performance saw the Tigers come back and lead by a goal at the half. Hawks made up the difference and then some to get the win but I don't think they expected to be met with that much resilience from a tigers squad 1/2 full of juniors and without their captain.
High of the game: Tigers getting in front before 1/2 time sent the small crowd on fire
Low of the game: Lukas Ehlich coathangers a tiger junior but runs by flexing his biceps after the kid finally gets up! get a life! (Didnt get a free kick for it either, Lukas did this rubbish the whole game, I think he was reported but not sure, probably not) He is a good on baller but maybe needs some anger management or a good old fashioned ass kicking or something.

Funny moment of the game: happened off the field, there was a hawks supporter(2s player?) standing above the tigers fans swearing at the ladies and carrying on like an idiot.. Finally 1 of the tigers water runner's heard him, left the field and went up there and shut the bloke up. Cazalys staff can do better in this area, letting people just abuse other fans is not on. A security staff member should be in the grandstand area.
I hate being one of the people that complain about the umpiring but it was noticeably bad last night..anyone else go to the game and pick up something I missed? I was in between the bar and the grandstand for both games..
I saw moneybags martin was the runner for hawks? Wonder why he didnt get a spot!
Haha how did I know we would be the ones blamed for the brawls and the hits. Guess it was a bit hard to see the early shots on a few of our guys when your sitting in the stands with your heads up your asses?
Come on mate seriously, get a clue about what your saying or get off here. Guess you missed the attention your Freebody got when trying to run a tagging role etc. Guess no one also mentioned that the last quarter was null and void after the Tigers had two men down the whole time because they couldn't run with the Hawks any longer.
I just laugh to think how people can think a top two team would both going around sniping people.
Geez settle down mate, ruffle a few feathers last night did we? Must admit, I missed the Freebody incident, but whatever it was worked cos he didn't do too much tagging after that. like I said no team was worse than the other cos the umps let em get away with too much. Like I also said you were too good in the end, well done. But you didn't get everything your own way like you expected and maybe a couples of weaknesses were exposed
Rumour at the bar we won't be seeing Mishai Perry again. Any confirmation, denial??
Haha you are a complete idiot, no such thing happened. As well as that you neglected to not hear the abuse been given to the Hawks players from the Norths fans? Back in your box.
Were you in the grandstand with the other 12 hawks supporters??
Thats gold teamwork. I was actually in the grandstand at half time ( when Norths were just in front) crowd was great. Our guys sprayed your blokes and clapped ours while your supporters did the same. I don't think any of it went too far and despite not many there, it created a bit of atmosphere.Hahaha...all you can do is laugh. Had to Post - you certainly are trying. Mate the Norths supporters were average last night, abusive and inciteful. At half time they were nothing short of feral. As for any head high shots, both teams had their culprits, but none more than Bosen and Ehlich. Both need to pull their heads in and play the ball more. Both very good players and disappointing to see both get sucked in to that rubbish. So blaming one team or another is just tit for tat.
Hawks knew all along that this would be a tough tussle. We have a lot of respect for the young Norths effort and intensity. Never did we think that it would be an 80 point drubbing. Although it did get out to 67 points in the last.
As for young Freebody, he tagged Holland for about 15 minutes in the last. In that time Holland sooked to the point of slinging Freebody to the ground a few times. Then when Hawks broke the game open he just ran off with 'cramp' right when Norths needed him to fight for them. Learnt something about young Thomas, he can't handle being tagged.
Good game, both team sound like they had a lot out. Hawks too good in the end.
Saints just got over the line against Souths. Saints got off to a good start but after a couple of vital injuries and Souths stepping it up it became very close in the end. The only thing between Souths and a win was their kicking at goal i reckon.
Saints won the reserves by about 80pts and Saints won the legends game easily aswell. A great trurn up to watch the veterans run around with probably the best crowd seen at Griffiths this year.

As for Freebody tagging Holland in the last, what about the first 3 quarters where he tore you to shreds??
T
What are the Hawks going to do when their agreement runs out for cazalys??
