good looking web site from those south cairns boyz , way too go fellows
Seen Sharpy @ VT23 21st Donna, and can confirm Sharpy will be in Victoria in 2008, whether VT get him or not is a different story. Currently training with Benalla
Matty had a great year in 07 , will be sad to see him and his talent leave the area. all the best for him if indeed he leaves the Far North :thumbsu:

0nce again ofalltime your mail would be correct,your network of mail must cover the length and breath of this football world, i have no doubt that robbie douglas would have signed with seymour. though he would miss the sun, sand, weather and of course the girls:thumbsu::cool:

Great photo of me on it Fretwell Park.

Not true just yet , he is training down here with the lions and has not made his mind up yet. Would be a big loss for Port and Coxy if he does stay in Melbourne . Have heard Port have signed some gun players for this year so to loose chippa would be a shame . How are the Hawks and Saints going with recruiting and have they lost any players?

Mate i have heard Hawks have lost a few , but they will just go out pick more up . Saints have lost some good players also, but Kenno would be down in Ballarat as we speak recruiting , Cutters , we are no diffrent we have lost Sharpy and Bailey. All the talk around at the moment is Port Douglas and what they have picked up. North Cairns could be the sleeping giant , did hear they have recruited well . Cobras i dont even think they have a coach yet?

Very quiet down there at Fu..wit park. Have heard they tried to get a few boys from Seymour but non want to come and that's why robbie douglas will not return to Port Douglas. Had enough up there which is a real shame as we know he enjoyed himself but one can only ponder why he is returning to Victoria, maybe the money, can't blame him, maybe missing family etc. What ever he does we wish him well.

Spoke to chippa last night at training, and hes also talking about going to Adelaide maybe with his brother . Cutters chased no one from Seymour ofalltime , Matty O was looking at maybe heading up to Cairns with SJ but because of personal reasons in the end will stay . :thumbsu:

Settle down fella's it is highly likely Chippa will be back up at Port Douglas in 08 and I reckon ya's know it. As ofalltime pointed he did enjoy it, has made some great friends and depsite what u think money wont come into it!!!
Hey wear The Fox Hat who are you mate? Spoke to him at training last night u say . . . . . never realised you were one of my boys ;) I too spoke with Chippa after training at Broadford last night, and told him that unless he gets offered a dynamite job to stay locally around Broadford/Seymour he'd be mad not to go back for another season.

Made Souths team of the 2nd 25 yrs , Great bloke , took them to two Grand Finals whilst coach , Give him a position he'll play it very well , will not take crap from anyone , bag him on the ground at your peril , it only lifts him to higher levels. good pick up sorry to see him leave .

As an independent observer of the league here and not for one specific club, Bailey will be a handy pickup. The only thing he needs to improve on is his temper and his behind the play incidents... Not a very good tribunal record up here....

Zillmere Eagles
29 Jan 2008, 19:47
Anyone interested in a change of lifestyle and coming down to Brisbane to play for the Zillmere Eagles in the State League competition (AFLQ) please contact me privately.
The club has a terrific history and are a young club on the rise after playing in the 2006 AFLQ Grand Final and last season winning the Reserve Grade Premiership. One of the top 5 clubs Australia Wide for players drafted.
Club has been involved in some off field issues which have now been resolved but have found ourselves slow out of the blocks from a recruiting point of view. The club is seeking recruits who feel they have something to offer at this level and would like to take the oppurtunity to live in Brisbane or Sunshine Coast and play in the AFLQ.

No he hasnt had much luck the last couple of years , in 06 while coaching Beulah he did his hamstring and missed the second semi and Prelim and his side went out in straight sets. And last year he broke his scafoid in the last game of the season , but didnt know it at the time and played in the second semi, a couple of days later it was in plaster . Where are you from anyway, and how do you know Hosey ? :thumbsu:

The word is that Mr Hose is gun shy of finals or just pathetic excuses Hosey. The name HOSEY sounds like a girls name, maybe that's why he didn't play finals both leagues found out that he is actually a girl:p

Cutters , should be hard to beat this season the way they have recruited , a forward line of Angwin , Shaw , Mc Millan , and Ratray that would be potent in the GVFL or any major League .And Coxy has done quite well for himself picking up a number of quality players at Port Douglas . Great to hear the big Meat Tray [ Ratray ] is training the house down , can play the boy . A player has come down here to play at Mansfield from up there, the saints [ I think ] Daniel Dai what can anyone tell me about him .

He goes well. Very quick and good skilss. Run all day.
Anybody have any idea how the Premiers are looking (Hawks)? Heard they have lost a few... Seem to not hear too much about them considering they've won 2 in a row...

Cairns Saints have lost few big names, but have landed a big signing in Luke Parsons from Redan - will be one to watch! Have heard that Centrals have recruited well from Darwin, don't know any names.

Yeah walshy still playing for south. kicked 5 on weekend. his hammy is finally right so plenty of bags to come.
Best forward in the league by a mile!
Superstar!
I see Matt Walsh back with 6 goals on weekend on top of 5 from last weekend.
The boots are back on, look out everyone!
Didnt Matt Walsh from Saints win it last year as well as kicking 100 goals?
Kennedy won previous year i believe.
Matt Walsh again amongst the goals.
Must be one the best forwards to ever play in Cairns surelly?
saints would have to be the ones to beat this year wouldnt they again along with hawks?
walsh to kick 100+, and the new ballarat recruits will only strengthen a very formidable team.

Saints have lost Josh Dicketts, Craig Nunn and Charlie Dixon - All 3 played in the ruck and up forward. Dicketts and Nunn were excellent players for the Saints last year. Not sure if they can cover this height, but will still have a good bunch of medium running type players. Will be interesting to see if they will be as good as last year.

I was just wondering if anyone could give me an idea of the standard of the Mackay league? I was hoping someone on this site might know a little about it. I know the Cairns League is a pretty strong comp, but if someone could give me a comparison that would be great.
I may be moving there for work from Melbourne- I currently play 1's in SFL Division 1 comp, just curious to how good (or bad) the comp is in Mackay to help me with my decision.
Cheers.

Back in the days when southern had 5 divisions, I would say the mackay league was about div 5 standard. In respect to sourthern div 1 which I saw last year and was not that impressed with I would say it is very low div two southern on todays standards probably even lower. Each side will have 2-3 good players but most would be reserve grade standard to what you are used to. Hope your move goes well. What I will say is that Mackay is a great place. Top beaches etc and a good place to bring up a family or even create one. All the best and u the way who did you play for in southern.:)

Was told Saints signed Nick Preston, key position forward and very good player. Not sure of the other recruits but he will certainly make them stronger.

I hear that Cairns Saints look a lot like a Ballarat A grade team this year. Heaps of recruits but have lost a heap. Saints have choked the last few yrs when they were favoured.
City's & Norths will fight out last. Citys have a new coach who is recruiting hard says the local paper. They have lost a few from 2007 to South Cairns
Centrals will make the 4 this year. lots of Darwin players. Sounds like $$$
South Cairns from what I read in the Cairns Post look the team to beat. Awesome. They have raided City's & North Cairns and picked up some guns. They have already played a practice game.
Port Douglas have spent a fortune and will be top 2. Port seem to spalsh out the cash every few yrs dont they.
Manunda have lost a lot of players with no recruits mentioned. Might be hard for them in 2008. Dont write them off.
Any one have any thoughts on a ladder

Port Douglas / Picked up Shaw and Smith both over 6,4 and more
South Cairns / Recruited well lost sharp and Bailey
Cairns Saints / Done well with Ballarat recruits , lost Dickets and Nunn
Manunda Hawks / lost heaps but will go out and buy up
Cetrals / will pick a few up but cant see them in the 4
Cobras / lost some good players and cant see them any higher
North Cairns / love to see them win a few games

forget about all the other teams, theres only one ''SOUTH CAIRNS'' with the qld state coach and budget that is at least double any other club, they would have to be clearly on top as early favourites, steve daniels knows what it takes to win, and after spending a season finding his feet,anything bar a premiership would be a failure.SJ is a very astute coach and recruiter.

Yes a very good coach is SJ, but how much of their budget did he give you to post this testimonial (or are you sleeping with him)?:eek:

mmmmm.good comeback duffman,i guess you owe me that one,though SJ does'nt do that much for me,he's not my type,and i doubt that they would be wasting any of the budget on having there tyres pumped up,what's left of the budget would be going towards the players that'll be coming up before mid season clearances close, just to add to there already''STAR'' list. though if there is anything left and they need a bit mid-season motivating, i would be available for a very heavy FEE$$$ i dont come cheap... so i would fit in down at ''SOUTH CAIRNS'' very nicely.

In terms of match payments, do all the clubs pay their players per game or are most incentive based payments

i was down Roberts Rd last week and popped in and saw Souths train. Very impressive. Long way advanced than Manunda who i saw the other day. The coach has them very fit and I would expect them to win the preseason cup. Thats always a very good lead in to the season proper.
so how are clubs going with training numbers this yr considering the wet we are having. I saw Souths have about 40 and hear Manunda 20 & Saints 30. What about Port, City's & Norths. The preseason cup is only a week away.

Cheers ftb...I might just take you up on that offer. Checked out the website and will need a pair of the dress shorts and club shirt. SJ Fatty-Boomba will cover the cost and also know my size, but no need for the training top as I don't want to scare anyone away with my white chicken arms.
A couple of requests when I arrive:-
a) make sure Lippy is there cause I want to chalk up all my VB's on his slate
b) give Billy from Piccones a bit of notice as he cooks the best burgers
c) be good if Meat-Tray, Shawry & Sheepy all play deep in the forward line that day
d) be great if McMillan can turn it on.....I've seen him play before but SJ cok smoker is very keen for him to have a big year.
After match function can be at the members bar.......you know the address;)
Happy to let Pete Cheners come along if he's got rid of that silly beard:D

Have heard that Centrals have been shopping with some success in Darwin. They have apparently picked up about 5 definite players and there are about 3 or 4 others that are highly probable.
Berg is also returning to play for the Bulldogs again. This guy is a jet.
If any Central supporters have names and details of the players that they have picked up and lost from last season it would be appreciated if you could post some details. They were not that far off the money last year. Assuming they have not lost many players from last years list, they might be there abouts this year.
Are Benny Chalmers :D and Heath Barnett :thumbsu: having another run this year?
Is the Yack still at the helm? :cool:
Really itching for some footy this weekend! anybody know if XXXX pre-season cup is going ahead this weekend?:)
Games still going ahead from reports, unless of course the weather up there turns bad again! Any ideas on the outcomes of the pre-season? Winners Losers? Anyone actually playing their full side?
Well what a good day at headquarters small crowd but interesting games ,
first up North Cairns beat Manunda fairly well
then South Cairns beat Norths in a good tussle but ran over them in the end
last game Souths beat Hawks fairly well
umpires well done in a hard , warm day ,
from what I hear it will be
Souths Versus Saints at headquarters next week
Well done to the Cutter Boys, good luck for next weeks XXXX pre season final, for game results & post match interviews go to the cutters web site.:)

Well great to have the footy back on the weekend wasnt it . I was really impressed with North Cairns against us on the weekend , they have picked up some handy players from the Ovens and Murry and they will not finish on the bottom this year . One of the Manunda high rollers was heard saying after being beating by Norths wait to we get our ten players from Darwin here and then see how you go . Something tells me the Hawks do not like it when things dont go there way or should i say one gentleman in particular . Hawks might have ten to come in but on this day Norths won and due respect must be given, and what happend to Port Douglas on the weekend.? was expecting them to win there side of the draw with the big recruits in Shaw and Smith . Did they play and if so how did they go . :thumbsu:

No doubt Souths and Saints will be putting their best teams forward for this Saturdays match. Should be an exciting game to watch.

Cazalys got hammered by some pretty heavy rain on Wednesday, but should recover for Saturdays big match if the rain eases.
Didn't get to see the Saints in action last weekend, but for my money I'd have to back the Cutters for the up and coming clash. The Cutters will be playing "Big Motor" along with some new guns that didn't play last week. Saints get back the "Hose" who is recoving from a nasty wrist ingury, and its rumoured that "Keno" might even play... so it should be a good game.
If the Cutters don't lose any players during the season their reserve side should be very stong and do well.
Theres a group of about 5 country victorian footballers comming up that way. All senior footballers. Has a club stiched them all up??? if so who are the playing for.

Your going to have to list some names big fella, Cairns is very transient, many come & go.:confused:
Word has it that Norths has picked up a talented back pocket who is a spitting image of Flower from Meerkat Manner. Lets just hope he doesnt suffer the same fate and can help set up tony soprano down forward

The Little Donk , Cazalys did get hammered with rain but it held up all right . The game was a slog, but Saints showed they are going to be a handy side even with the loss of Dicketts , Nunn , Hodges, Killen and Dai to name just a few. They still have Walsh , Watt , and Ryan to come back in. Souths didnt help them selfs in the first half when at one stage they had kicked 2.6 to 1.1 . But it was great to see some youngsters playing for the Cutters , one of the kids Kieran Johnson is only 14 years old great effort . Was great to see "The Hose man" back after his wrist injury and getting his hands on the ball even if he was handballing it to the opposition ? Well only 3 weeks until the real stuff is up and going and round one should be a ripper. Tips are -
Souths v Centrals
Norths v Cobras
Saints v Hawks

Yo Fretwell, Whats this "Little" biz? I have you know that "The Donk" is regulation size..... nothing little about him.
Yep the game was a bit of a slog in the damp conditions, so it will be interesting to see both sides at full strenght on a good day. Big "Ratray" was a bit green around the gills and threatened to chunder on me at half time, I don't know whether it was something he ate, drank or he was just sick. He was obviously off his game, unlike "Foss" who tore up the centre.

Spoke with Patty Friday arvo and he said he felt he was coming down crook - give him benefit of the doubt this time round as I'm pretty sure it wasn't a self inflicted illness as when I spoke to him yesty he still sounded rough :thumbsu:

Saints young Ruckman Matt Kane looked handy on Saturday, his mobility and strength around the ground will be an asset to the Saints this season.
