I was watching last night late in the game, 12 mins to go in the final 1/4, hadn't seen anything till then, the scoreline didn't surprise but I'll admit I wondered whether very, very liberal umpiring in the Hawks favour helped them thump the D's at stoppages? I cannot remember a handball by Sam...

It's a pity that those in charge couldn't have redirected the meagre amount Duff needed into the MAP if they didn't want to fork out $ to ABC, true incompetence at its finest:cool:

I only viewd Footy Classified 2 nights ago and this whole thing is a massive beat up to get rid of a bloke that maybe was over the job by all accounts, himself included. His comment was a tongue in cheek comment basically saying that to keep an aboriginal player in the game they almost need to...

all the old footage can be found at the ABC on DVD. I believe they sell them for around $50 per DVD per game, very steep believe me but they have roster games, finals etc. Apparently however a lot of stuff is lost forever because back in the day no one had any foresight to actually record the...

Re: TSL Round 1 Highlights CLIP this is my 1st look at Hobart and apart from only recognising a couple of players it saddens me to say that the tigers are a long way behind where they finished last season :( such a shame to see Cassidy playing with the bombers but as Kingpin has said in...

what are you trying to say Kingpin, that the TSL won't work?????:eek:

Re: HALL GOING TO Gold Coast Maybe Mariners should go back in fully or just play national carnival and play with their clubs. I agree that Tas needs a lot more funding as it is ripped off but the blokes in charge of the money with the exception of Armstrong are useless, maybe the review...

Yes I know, Howe played at Lauderdale, but only so he could play Mariners at the national championships so had to play TSL to be eligeable, so just saying don't use that as a link, Dodges had more to do with him than Lauderdale. 2/3 games don't count and yes Burbury only played 7 games with...

I think he means that all the Hobart boys were drafted from Hobart not via AFL Tas pathway, none of the forementioned Lauderdale players were not involved in those programs, Collier and Robbo both Devils/Mariners and Gilbee a Mariner whom did play a fair bot of TSL, ripped us up a couple of...

Re: Top Prospects from Tasmania for Draft/Rookie 2011 gotassieboys may be on to something here guys, draftable players will be rare with GWS and GC getting the lion's share of the talent so maybe some clubs may take a punt on many of these guys however based on this list Hall would have to go...

This will spell the end of the TSL I imagine, SANFL, WAFL, VFL all on ABC. Who would know what goes on behind closed doors but AFL Tas have no real professional businessmen in their ranks, just jobs for the boys and their negotiation skills support this, basically destroy Hobart FC (little bit...

Re: Top Prospects from Tasmania for Draft/Rookie 2011 yeh saw him in the GF and looked like an aircraft carrier when he had to change direction, is talented but maybe not what they are looking for on the big island. A previous poster stated he would put his house on some players being...

Re: Top Prospects from Tasmania for Draft/Rookie 2011 Not being harsh on anyone however I believe that really only Mohr whom has already been pre listed, Ben Brown and Henry Schade have any chance to be honest. Schade probably around 25-30 , Brown around 50. My smokey is of course Hall...

standen and Waller are good examples as they both appear to be quite serious about their conditioning too, wouldn't use Rodman, Howe and Baldock as examples though as all 3 arent just average players, particularly Howe and Rodman. I still cannot see Ross or Thompson being the instant hits many...

sighted a yellow sports car in town the other day with victorian plates with TUCKY written on them, maybe the Tuck that got delisted from Hawthorn???

Hobart have recruited N/N players in past couple of years and most only last 1 season, Zeb Graham a good example, the guy could play but couldn't get his body right, his weight initially made his ability to do the work an obstacle and he picked up niggles, by seasons end he was reasonably fit...

Re: Applicants without being too insulting I find it funny that some people get on this forum and talk up players from other comps, Carver has been playing for N/N for almost his whole career and has never had the drive or work ethic to go to the next level, the guy apparently was in the AIS...

Re: Applicants have seen both play, just not live and yes both capable but just because they did something in days past doesn't mean they are capable in a league that demands committment to succeed hence Hobarts current position.If it was easy everybody would play. From what I've heard neither...

Re: Applicants They may be fit but I believe you underestimate the fitness and strength levels required to play TSL footy. I was a bit dismissive myself till I heard and saw what the current Hobart players have done in recent years and the players themselves still admit that particularly...

Re: Applicants the context of my comment is that no team that turns over 1/3rd of its senior list every season will ever be a serious top 4 contender. If they had kept Fox as the senior coach the majority of the senior list would remain and there would be a natural progression in the ability...

Re: Applicants Its been pretty quiet on the recruitment front, any names of new players? lots of rumours floating around, apparently 30-40 turned up for start of pre season but most were colts players? also have been told that Cleary and Briggs definately off to Nth Hobart and that at least...

Re: Top Prospects from Tasmania for Draft/Rookie 2011 I suppose he would look soft from behind a computer screen:( If you sawthe Lauderdale game live you wouldn't have thought him soft, had one bald Lauderdale player belting him all first half everytime he got near the ball but it didn't stop...

heard the one about Bass about 2 weeks ago, now he is a bargain basement pickup for Winter, Bass can play when fit and saw him at a few Hobart games talking to the boys and looks in great shape. He and Cassidy are big inclusions for Lauderdale, they could look at top 3 if they get all their...

just thought I'd throw in with a name. Aaron Hall from Hobart FC in Tassie. Same club that had Jeremy Howe and George Burbury drafted last year, neither in the pathway system in Tassie, Howe a country boy and Burbury also a country boy but a rower who turned to footy. Hall was the 3rd standout...

Yes CURE you are correct, just a joke at Kelly's expense, hope he does stay as he looks pretty good to me and for a guy of his size, around 194cm's I believe he sure has some skills, just a little timid at times (note not scared) just needs to hit packs harder etc. I am told one of your...

Re: Some real hot players here looks like Hobart have lost another player with TK Kelly playing in the game and another looked suspiciously like Blayne Bester, love the beer toting goal umpire

Re: Top Prospects from Tasmania for Draft/Rookie 2011 rumour is that he stole the limelight in the last roster game with 2/3 AFL scouts there to look at some Lauderdale players and all they spoke about afterwards is Hall "best kept secret in Aust footy" one was heard to say. My bet is he will...

I've heard that Quirk was just about the most dedicated and consistent trainer at Hobart and is very disciplined and well respected by other clubs, knows where the ball is going. A good player in an average team and I suspect would be a great player in a very good team. Don't know much about...

apparently he offered them the new Hobart city licence, new policy from AFL Tas, relocate, amalgamate, seperate, mix with some self raising flour, add water and cook for 60mins on high:D AFL Tas run by muppets so maybe the HFC boys just reminding them of that fact. Have heard HFC has almost...
