AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Channel have apparently appointed ex-player Tony 'Boots ' Marchant as non playing coach this year. Not sure of any further details but he has one hell of a job on his hands
I think you will find Boots and the club are having a meeting early this week sometime, it is not quite set in stone yet, but yes it does look promising, This came from a very reliable source this afternoon.
Good luck to him, If he puts his hand up for the job, Boots hasn't got much hair to start off with, he certainly won't have much left at the end of the season!, there is only so much he can do with what he has left at his disposal.
Hopefully he will be able to round up a few of his old Hobart mates to help out - Kingpin would be salivating at the sight of a few of them running around together like old times (Albeit in Saints colours not Tiger colours). Even if they are long in the tooth, they can't be much worse than the current crop of players left.
That rounds off the trifecta of favourite old sons returning next year with Shane "Sam" Sinnit returning as the Reserves coach and Paul "Frankie" Loveluck supposedly taking the underage reins.
Lachrilly, have you started hitting the gym yet to get rid of the excess kilos in readiness for next year? Or are you still too fond of the saveloys and pies like the shepherd king, Barge.
By the way, word has it that Cygnet are in trouble numbers wise, with a few key players supposedly departing for greener pastures - But this is only a whisper from the local pub, maybe someone can verify this.
Looks like Channel are the only club without an appointed senior coach in the Regionals so far.
With the appointment of a Mr Jim Rogers as the senior coach for Triabunna. Along with Barge's favourite son, Dean "King Hit Merchant" Mills as Reserves coach (As Barge mentioned before on this thread).
I ask one question - Who the fook is Jim Rogers? I have never heard of him in footy circles - Does anyone know who he is, what his creditentials are?
By geez he's gunna have his hands full there.Hopefully he will be able to round up a few of his old Hobart mates to help out - Kingpin would be salivating at the sight of a few of them running around together like old times (Albeit in Saints colours not Tiger colours). Even if they are long in the tooth, they can't be much worse than the current crop of players left.
Jeese you blokes give Millsy a baggin'. I don't know what your problem is. I played with him for a year when he was at Brighton, he's a good bloke, certainly no dirtier a player then alot of blokes i've played with and against.
Speaking of colours - Hobart will be wearing their traditional Black & Gold jumpers in four matches in 2008.
Not sure of their opponents in those four matches, but it's a really good start for what is hoped to be a turn around in the place. It needs it!
There's 4 matches I will be putting my colours on and going to watch
Wish it wasI'm sure that it can be guaranteed 100% that one of these games will not be against Barra Herweynen's Kingston boys
Oooooooooooo pwwwwwwwwww hard to say really, umm, I know if Hobie were wearing their old strip full time he'd be back there, well that's what he reckoned last time I was speaking to him, anyway.Cadoras said:Kingpin - do you reckon "Jungles" Denehey might dust his drum kit from out the loft and bring them out of retirement for these games?
Not sure about Hobarts suppose top five from a few weeks back
Dykes, Dickson, Reeves, Youd, Harvey
Underlined names would not be in top 10, how could you omit Lemm, Cassidy and C. Beck
Agree. Dickson had a shocking year, too many chicken fillet combos upsized, Youd too unreliable.
As for other top fivers; A.Lemm is a definate, Cassidy no longer there, Beck on his day maybe, but I'd include the other Harvey before him, former SFL rep don't forget!
Anyone heard who is taking the reins at KG5? Micky Bowden would have to be the front runner surely. Whisper has that Ben Beams will return to Tasmania at the end of the '08 season and take over the Pies for the '09 season. What a coup that would be!
do you mean trent harvey?
I do Mr Nuts. The same T Harvey that a few years back won the much coveted Mr Football fashion competition at isobar against some stiff competition (ie. McVilly, D.Kirk.....)
Barge happened to be loitering along Salamanca Boulevard early Sunday morning and witnessed a former New Norfolk player being hauled topless into a Paddy Wagon after a heated, quite possibly very physical disagreement with a former Eagles team-mate!
And they call it the "Valley of Love"!?!
Know anything about this, Menza?
Has anyone caught the latest instalment of the "Bold and the Beautiful" that is the "Who will coach Devonport?" thread?
Fair dinkum this blokes leaving Burnie, going to Devonport, back to Burnie via Ulverstone, is in love with James Wiggins, putting it on team mates Mrs.', new coaches, ex coaches, not happy with new coaches, still in love with old coaches, it is all happening over on that thread!!
The above is all tongue in cheek of course but have you fellow Southerners noticed that the despised Northerners have hi-jacked the Tassie Footy thread over the past couple of months. Prior to that there was hardly a peep out of the North of the State.
Has the electricity just gone on in Burnie and Devonport or something??
