Big deal Duff.... Glenorchy talk it up each pre season about signing a big name coach, getting 'star' players and having big numbers on the track..... But in the end they get nothing because they aren't prepared to put there hand in there pocket.
Gee the Aker talk has gone quiet.... ridiculous to think he was even a chance to leave everything he has in Melb to come to Tasmania

Gone quiet? Obviously not in Tassie mate. There was a big article in the Mercury last week giving an update on where the Akermanis talks were up to and Brett Geeves dedicated most of his column in Saturday's paper to the subject.
Glenorchy has always said they are not expecting an answer from Aker until December, when he has sorted out his media commitments for next year's AFL season.
They have also said that the financial package they have offered Akermanis meets his needs, its just a matter of how much he can commit to around his media deals.
lol.... Dont believe everything you hear champ. 3-4 clubs in Country Vic are hoping just like you.... Glenorchy are no chance of signing Jason Akermanis. Lets be realistic.

I actually know what i'm talking about mate. 90% chance he'll play at least a game in black and white next season.

that is to cover 5 teams though Duff, means numbers low to berealistic or at least no different to any other club, how many kids were there, I bet over 50%

I reckon your 100% correct DosaChoker. Sad that they let Bryce O Garey & Jade Hodge walk... Especially Bryce who is a local Glenorchy boy. Dissapointing

O'garey and Hodge moved interstate.
Not like they are playing for another TSL club.
A club isn't going to stand in the way and stop players from "walking" to another state!

Duff, have you jumped off Hobart and on to Glenorchy?
Seem to be getting almost as excited about them as Wiggo does!

Great to hear from u barge.
Hey where r the players coming from?
As for Wiggo well he's gotta be the best GM in the state. They reckon he's got a new lease of life.

O'Garey may have moved interstate but he wasnt welcome at kgv anymore after the whispers started he was leaving.
apparently the club told him he was no longer required if he was thinking of going anyway.
was a shambles with reidy, hopefully things change under byron

Speaking to an ex senior Devonport official last week and he started telling me why wiggo was moved on from the DFC. A club official called into the club one day around 1.45pm and found James head down on the desk sleeping off his lunch! Maybe the years spent snoozing have given him that new lease of life Duff

Whilst i think the akermanis signing is great for Tassie Footy, I have one problem.
“We also want to thank AFL Tasmania and particularly TSL General Manager, Shaun Young, for giving us a dispensation on the salary cap that has enabled us to recruit Jason in what we hope will be a very positive initiative for football in Tasmania.”
Will other clubs be getting this dispensation????

I would think so. Seeing How Hobart are the most financial club in the league, who are they looking at bringing down then Munts ol' boy

very excited to have him down at the club for next year
Can't say I think we will be, don't think we have the courage (it is a big risk) and who would we sign?I would think so. Seeing How Hobart are the most financial club in the league, who are they looking at bringing down then Munts ol' boy
Good on Glenorchy, but I don't think it is necessarily fair on the other clubs UNLESS the get the salary cap exemption as well.
