Huge loss for North if this is true, Crawford is a terrific footballer who should be playing at TSL level.
Also heard a whisper Zane Murphy may be heading to VFL side Cogburg.

My magpies (Norky) chatted with Murphy, but he is going to play with North Hobart.......I reckon North will be favourites to beat Clarence!! Hoever with Ackers in our side we should be top 4.;)
 
My mail is that Murphy is yet to make a decision.

His options are with Burnie, Wynyard, Nth HBT or Glenorchy.

My tip is he'll go to Burnie.

You didn’t answer my question re: the mighty Bucket Atkin Duff? What’s the go mate you don’t want to follow up on the statement you made about him? Come on then let’s all here it....

Chris Ryan?

Nope, he's still coaching a second division side up in Queensland, last I heard he was a cop (someone around Glenorchy had told me that he was a cop now.) he used to be a carpenter as well or at least I was informed he was...though I doubt he'd come back and play in the state league now.

French and Hodge have signed with Glenorchy already, according to the Glenorchy newsletters, signed before Christmas.

Not sure if already mentioned earlier in this thread but Jackson O'Brien has told SANFL Powerhouse club Central District that he is staying with Clarence now and wont be heading to SA...

Jackson just couldn't leave the Roos. No doubt the top 3 sides next year will all come from the south. Both Glenorchy and especially N Hobart are spending are a fair bit of coin but rumours are that behind the scenes there is a fair bit going on. Clarence is purring on and off the ground as usual

Top 5

Clarence
North Hobart
Glenorchy
Launceston
North Launceston

Wouldn't surprise me! Both did the same last year and it got them nowhere and i would imagine this year will be no different. I do smell a treble though.

I would have Burnie in my top 5, Devonport to finish 11th! :(

I think the Dockers will be the big improvers this season and could well finish top three. Clarence will obviously be the yardstick again with every other team having to lift a lot to match them. The regional based draw makes it very difficult for 3 teams from one region to finish top three, especially in the South with Clarence, North Hobart and Glenorchy very strong but having to play each other 3 times. You dont have to drop many games to be out of the running for the top three.
In the North it seems that Launceston and Burnie will be the two strongest sides and it is hard to imagine at least one of them not finishing top three.
Devonport have lost so many players and coupled with the fact they have no money to recruit they seem certain wooden spooners in my opinion.

My top 5 for what it is worth

Clarence
Glenorchy
Burnie
Launceston
North Hobart

i dare say the mighty bucket is of sfl stock these days. all respect to the legend he is.

I reckon so, saw a picture of him in the Brighton newspaper/newsletter in about November I believe it was. Looks in decent shape though, built like a tank, which made it hard to tell it's Ben Atkin. But I'd imagine Bucket would be a bit old to run around with the TSL these days, shame used to like him at the Pies.

A guy I went to school with Sean Salter is a coach there now too, so looks like the former Glenorchy boys are running the show there. Living close to Brighton I might have to pop into a game or two.

top of the tree players but when is the hierarchy of N/Hobart going to realise that they have tried this before and it never worked.
