I don't know to be honest. Was originally supposed to be at the B&F but the candidate had been away overseas on break so it was held off for a time.So when's Hobart gping to announce their coach? Heard it was supposed to be at their best n fairest the other week.
Heard Lamprill wasn't staying on to coach Huonville next year, wonder who gets that job.
Heard the other day Huonville ended up reappointing Tim Lamprill as coach for 2020. Jack Philp returning from Cairns with a good record as his assistant coach.
Apparently they've kept most of this year's list together so should remain a strong unit.
Hobart sound like they are progressing well under new coach Alex Gilmour.
Speaking to a Tigers supporter last week, he says it was the most positive piece of news to come out of the club in fifteen years. Reckoned the club needed a good cleanout and fresh faces to get rid of the nepotism and reward for shocking performances that had been rampant there for many years.
I noticed in the paper they are looking for new coach for their thirds, has Luttrell moved on or did he not get resigned?
Brighton looking good under Byron Howard. Had 40 on the track recently, trying to get their 19s team together as well. Robins have a new board and fresh faces to take them forward.
Luke Potter will continue in with Claremont and they are trying to resurrect the thirds next year.
He wasn't reappointed as Colts coach and went to OHA to coach their Reserves team and has taken Kyle Buck, Josh Raspin and Jonty Pearce with him.Luttrell gone to OHA as reserves coach, Seems to have taken a couple of his old colts troops and couple of Hobart reserves players with him
He wasn't reappointed as Colts coach and went to OHA to coach their Reserves team and has taken Kyle Buck, Josh Raspin and Jonty Pearce with him.
Allegedly had had several differences of philosophies/opinions with the new coaching staff, I had an inkling he might've been headed out the door anyway given that he got the Colts to the Preliminary Final this season but the club seemed reticent to re-sign him even after that.
Namely that I think the board and coaching staff want all teams (Seniors, Reserves, Colts and Womens) to train together and form a more close relationship than they have in the past and also to try and get the club pulling together in the one direction which it, quite noticeably, hasn't been for several years.
He supposedly didn't want his Colts players to train with anyone else nor have Colts players play in the seniors at all and that didn't sit very well with the new coaching staff so he wasn't reappointed.
The new coaching staff at Hobart is Alex Gilmour as senior coach, Brad Joseph, Peter Jelkic, Paul Rainbird and Sammy Hughes with ex-Cygnet womens coach Renee Schuettpelz taking over as the womens coach from Claire Sutton, who was also not reappointed.
Shuettpelz had been working around the club as one of the bench staff for the mens sides this season.
Will be a slow build over the next three years, certainly Gilmour's greatest challenge as coach.
It's being seen as really the last roll of the dice for the Hobart Football Club because, if things had have kept going the way they were prior to his appointment, the club would in all likelihood have folded in 2-3 years time.
The Tigers have been in the doldrums for the past fifteen years since Jock McGregor was coaching up there and have had at least three (to my knowledge) winless seasons in the past ten years.
Since the 2003 Preliminary Final, they've only won ONE finals match (in 2006), last time Hobart qualified higher than the Elimination Final was way back in 2000 under Steve Gillbee.
As a result of these constant poor on-field results and quite honestly, terrible standard of football displayed over a number of years, our supporter base and volunteers have waned considerably as have our membership figures.
Oh most definitely so, yes.Have you seen a change in the vibe around the club since they named Gilmore ? He has seem to embraced it, have seen him kicking around Glenorchy with the Hobart polo on. Hopefully it works for the club would hate to seem the fold.... Must be hard to retain people when you haven't had the success on the field
I see on the BFC page that the most recent Hobart seniors coach Nathan Hartnett has gone to Brighton as one of the assistant coaches under big Byron!
Yes it was. Would probably admit, it wasn't his finest moment. Very passionate about his coaching though and the fact that he brought sixteen players to the club.Was Luttrell the guy that went nuts on the field and had a huge screaming match with some club officials at the TCA when the lights failed a few months ago?
That was one of about 4 matches I went to up there and it was pretty embarrassing, there's showing passion and behaving like a galloot and he was the latter.
It'll be interesting wether Ray Quarrell will follow Gilmour back up to Hobart, being a longtime Hobart man, Gilmour got him down to Richmond with good results after Hobart didn't want him, apparently the players thought he was too tough on them and complained so I heard.
Wouldda thought he was one you'd definately want to get your team fit, probably explains why they're so ordinary!!
Good old Greens stalling progress like they always do. No wonder the place is still backward!!Seems like progress has stalled on the TCA upgrades front, some new NIMBY residents association on the Glebe have pressured the new greenie Lord Mayoress into blocking any new works at the ground, they even want all the new buildings, stands etc to be built over on the far side of the ground despite the fact that structural reports state that new buildings cannot be built there.
They even want the current Powell, Pascoe, Payne Stand to have its roof lowered (why? ) at a cost of over $200,000. A stand which will require significant upgrading in the future as it's riddled with concrete cancer at one end.
Interesting to note what each club pays for rent at its home ground.
I don't have every club's figures but both Cygnet and Huonville Lions pay nothing for the use of Cygnet Oval and Huonville Recreation Ground respectively.
New Norfolk pay $5,000 per year to rent the Boyer Oval off the Derwent Valley Council, Lindisfarne pay $8,000 to rent Anzac Park from the Clarence City Council.
I believe Brighton, Sorell and Dodges Ferry pay little to no rent for their grounds.
In comparison, Hobart is paying more than $16,000 per year to rent the TCA Ground off the Hobart City Council! It's starting to become unsustainable.
I didn't see it at the time but went back and had a flip through the papers and found that, it's spot on about Madeline Ogilvie.Did anyone happen to see the piece by Greg Barns in the paper yesterday, page 16 or 17 about league president Madeline Ogilvie. Didn't mince his words. Hammer. Nail. Dead centre.
More interested in self interest and self promotion than doing her job properly.
Seems like that extends to her new found status in parliament.
Noticeable how the Southern FL has gone backwards every year since she took over.View attachment 788500View attachment 788501
I did read the figure in the Annual Report, was around 16.3 from memory. It's a lot of money for a small club to find annually, and it doesn't help with our own on field performances over the past fifteen years and the continuing poor crowds we're getting.$16.5k a year I hear Hobart's is and that's rediculous for a local sporting club.
I came across a State Government release the other week detailing funding for ground updates.
I see Lindisfarne and Huonville's grounds are getting a heap of money spent on them.
Huonville getting new changerooms and new playing surface along with it.View attachment 790637
