fair enough...i will give you a acurate report (as I was there) mowbray were not horrible..quite a good game..evandale were very fired up for this game..looked good in the first half..mowbray got back on top in the 3rd and looked the likely winners..but evandale dug deep in the last,kicking the last couple of goals to hang on.although the umpiring was fairly sub-standard (but not favouring any team) all in all a fairly good comp in div 2,mowbray.ol's & evandale fairly even (as the bottom teams) any of the other top 5 teams, perth,scotch,st.pats,tamar & fingal could win it,all look fairly even.would say though that tamar & perth the best 2 so far (in my opinion)
Yeah to be honest as a bloke who might line up for a club next year I wouldn't want to see it go statewide. When the swl shut up shop I was shattered but since then over the last 8 years it has won a little bit of respectability back. The clubs are fierce suburban rivals crowds are up and the comp is even. It gives you the feel of what footy used to be like as well as having a reasonable standard with some good players dropping back from the devils like Ken Hall.
P.S. Put me down for a "map" guernsey just PM me with the details. Thanks dude appreciate it.
Oh and keep up the good work. I love going into work and looking up the highlights from the weekends round hopefully you can get some funding and put a highlights package of the SFL Games on free to air. That would really make people stand up and watch

They might have had a bit of a push by the media to do something.......Compliments of the ABC news website http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/05/19/2249339.htm?site=hobart
The Oatlands District Football Association, in Tasmania's southern Midlands, is investigating the circumstances of an alleged assault against a player at the weekend.
Ross player, Matthew Coventry, was allegedly struck in the face with a water bottle during the game against Swansea and needed several stitches.
A spectator says Coventry returned to the field but, after making a tackle late in the match, fell unconscious.
He lay on the Swansea Oval convulsing and had to be flown to Hobart for treatment. The match was later abandoned.
The ODFA President, Helen Scott, is waiting for the umpires' reports. "Then I will [decide] as to whether I have to call a special meeting," she said.
Matthew Coventry has been discharged from hospital.
I kid coz I love. Put me down too, details available upon request...

You sound abit bitter and twisted there Ozguy, you havent got an axe to grind as an ex-leader of the ODFA? How would they have dealt with it differently under your leadership?
Or is it because the ODFA clearly doesnt support the Central Hawks concept?

Now now Ozguy - merely posing the questions . . . .
I think Ozguy has better things to do than be bitter and twisted about the ODFA...
Anyway, the weekend's tips are as follows:

Minus 3 points for originality!
I think they majority of this board - even those who don't like to agree with me the majority of the time - would think of you with a term that rhymes with "Merchant Banker!"

So which team are you from dipstick? Beulah, Hopetoun, Jeparit Rainbow, Ouyen United, Sea Lake/Nandaly Tigers, Walpeup Underbool and Woomelang Lascelles. WTF!!
Anyone related to me is gonna be hot - all 480 000 of them...
More productive than slapping on the vass and hunting for treasure at the Mardi Gra...I'd imagine the ability to walk, let alone the urge to kick a footy or start a competitive league, would diminish a bit after that...no wonder NSW sucks at footy that doesn't involve butt-sniffing...
Nice to see the Rudd/Howard/Keating/Hawke/Fraser government's investments in education and training in literacy for the future of Australia has paid dividends.
Sorry bud, I'd argue with you more, but me sister is laying in her bed and we're in our farmhouse at Black Bob's and aww geee (I sound like Phil Cleary here) she's lookin' pwetty damn tops!!
Bombs away....
SO... does this article mean that the Devils ISN'T the only pathway to the AFL for Tasmanian footballers(as if we didn't know that). Another reason why "grass-roots" footy should receive a more equal share of funding from AFL Tas. The players that AFL Tas wouldn't let play in this game are missing out and should be let play if Wadey and co. are serious that their main aim is promoting a pathway to the AFL for Tassie players.

STATE GAME BY MARTIN AGATYN

THE next Coastal AFL draftee could possibly be playing for reigning premier Geelong if things go his way.
Geelong Football Club recruiting officer Michael McMahon confirmed yesterday the club would have a spotter at the Tasmania versus Western Australia match at the Devonport Oval on June 1.
The game is part of the first round of the Australian Amateur Football Championship series, which features players under 23 years old.
The Tasmanian team is made up of players from the NTFL and NTFA competitions after the SFL declined to be involved.
McMahon said any interstate under 23 representative game was of interest to the Cats.
"We try to keep abreast of as many talented young players around the country as we can and a match like this one is a showcase of that type of talent," McMahon said.
"An under 23 game could include players who have come through the underage system, but have not matured as players until they are 21 or so," he said.
"The AFL draft is getting more and more competitive now and with two more new sides coming on board and getting concessions which will spread the draftees more thinly, we have to look at games like this one as potential recruiting grounds."
McMahon said Geelong regularly had observers at games involving the Tassie Mariners, but was not looking at any particular players in the Devonport match.
"We will be watching players from both sides, Tasmania and Western Australia," he said.
McMahon said if the Cats' spotter suggested there was a player, or players, the club should have a closer look at, it would source a video of the game.
"Most games in Australia are videoed these days," he said.
Tasmanian assistant coach Dale Perry said it was likely Geelong wouldn't be the only AFL club with spotters at the game.
"There would be six to 10 Tasmanian-based spotters employed by AFL clubs at the moment and I'd be surprised if at least three or four of them weren't at the game," Perry said.
NTFL general manager Ian Wotherspoon said it was rare for AFL scouts to attend NTFL games generally, unless they were observing a specific potential recruit.
However, he said AFL scouts usually attended the NTFL grand final and some AFL clubs had requested a copy of the NTFL roster for planning purposes.
Essendon's Tom Bellchambers was recruited after starring for Launceston in last year's NTFL grand final at Latrobe.
Hawthorn defender Grant Birchall, originally recruited from Devonport, also played representative football for the NTFL at under 19 level, in 2004 and 2005.

Totally. AFL recruitment is a teenage thing, so the development league should be this age group. Even 23 is pushing it, because you don't see many this age get taken unless Ken Judge is the coach.
The Devils on the other hand should be purely a bludgeoning device used to kill and maim mainlanders on a weekly basis. This is a little more easily achieved when the focus is more on selecting the biggest, meanest and experienced footy players currently running around in your local leagues, who most likely won't play in the AFL but still are pretty good footballers (just look at the 2001-05 Devils lineups if you don't think this could be achieved), and not trying to give a 17yo game time in August because the scouts are out with an eye to November.
Our spearhead team should be there for our state bragging rights only, not as a footy preschool, our brand spanking new U21 8 team SW League (the thing I'm pushing for) used for building up draft age talent, and everyone else plays in their own stable North and South leagues, content that their local rivals still hate their guts and will get the chance to square things every year from now on just like they've done incessantly for the past 100...

Now that is a name that I haven't heard for a long time
The old man used to drive trucks past there all the time to Queenstown, always refused to stop there even for a toilet stop. Interesting to see Daryn Perry umpiring the Sorell v Channel Reserves game, then bench coaching the Sorell seniors..............Although he did a fine job umpiring the magoos.....which can't be said of his fellow umpires in the seniors
