Is it true that Centrals coach has left?
Souths have more structure and playing the kids will benefit the club. Well done your boys Tamba and Flinstone.
Hawks won't bother spending on anymore recruits this year, the gap between them and Saints is too big to bridge.
Gav Miller is back at the Hawks, he will fill to void left by Lukas.
Plenty of player movement mid season, especially from Port Douglas with a few coming and going.
I have missed a few weeks of tipping sorry Tamba.
This week I will tip the Saints in both grades.
Norths in both grades.
Souths...
The tigers will take Braybon, I reckon we are just a little bit short at the moment.
I will reserve my opinion until after this weekends clash. The saints have been ruthless against opposition sides while the Tigers are doing no wrong. Saints deserve to be favourites for this game and the...
Any chance you could create some sort of natural disaster that requires a few insurance claims? Keep it up north, I have have grown fond of the warmth.
What is the Mackay competition like compared to the Cairns one?
Enlighten us? No natural disasters at the moment are making my days go a little longer.
Saints by 180 points, Saints 2nds by 10 goals
Hawks by 10 goals, Hawks by 10 goals.
Norths by 20 goals, Port by 5 points.
Premiership odds seniors
Saints - 1.30
Norths - 2.80

The position of the league is a tough one, I think the league is run fine, it is just the clubs in it that are having a few concerns. Saints have obviously done something right somehwere along the way, the links that the club has to get players here in the first place and then keep them is an...
Unfortunately Tommy it is just how it works, I am sure the club wouldn't be happy to hear their injured coach was in the position he was in. Any club wouldn't like to hear it for that matter.
Do you agree or care about his club actions? Injured coach, rebuilding club that needs some...
I know AFL Cairns is not professional football, but seriously if this is true Gribble should stand down as his football ability is not something he can hang his hat on.
To read in the paper that he is out injured and each week doing everything right to get it right. Hawks are too proud a club...
Nice win by the Tigers on the weekend in a fairly fiery clash. What is with all these players swapping between the teams? Just looked at the clearances, at least 6 players have swapped. Also noticed Scrimma has returned to Cairns, pencil the hawks in for 3rd place at least with him returning and...
Our league and great game has a problem up here, apart from Tamba picking the Hawks (bit odd) we have a very divisional competition. I hope that an upset occurs...
I will tip some goal kickers
Walsh could kick 20, it will depend who Cunningham plays on (Gill, Walsh, Braybon).
Liddy will be...
Saints by 200, Trinity to score under 4 goals. Trinity reserves won't have enough for a team.
Port to beat Lions by 8 goals in the ones, and by 20 goals in the 2nds.
Norths by 10 goals in the ones, and by 20 goals in the reserves.
Norths to beat Cutters by 6 goals.
Hawks to beat Lions by 3 goals.
Port to beat Centrals by 12 goals.
Reserves
Tigers over Cutters by 4 goals.
Lions over Hawks by 1 goal.
Port to thrash Centrals by 120 points.
Interesting to see Norths sign Lukas, not overly impressed with that. I will...
Good pressure from Centrals and poor disposal from Norths stopped the margin blowing out between the two. Centrals coach Cunningham is a very capable footballer but will be shouldering a considerable load if Centrals are to make the finals.
It was good to have Meuller and Liddy back, both...
Fully agree Flinstone! I just heard the boys saying it and I for one, and I am sure Souths agree, do not not want to see similar scenarios to last years at Souths.
I will say from an outsider Grant has some work to do to re-build the old culture and gain some competitive respect. But I...
Tamba - glad he is doing something about it, unlike last year when things got ugly under Adams. Admin must support the coach's decisions about football. If players are not pulling their weight, get rid of them!
My tips
Souths to beat Hawks by 20 points, won't be a pretty game to watch but it...
Surely if Port beat Norths week 1 and Norths beat Saints on Monday that would make the Crocs the early favourites in the reserves. Again as a lot of you have said, how much can we take out of the weekends games.
Saints seniors look to have a very good spread, and looking through the record to...
Tamba and Flinstone - I know this will stir you up and you may not even know about it but why are some Souths players upset at Grant? As a proud supporter, surely you would have had enough of this!
Overheard your own players saying it whilst I was watching the game on Monday.
I too am not a Saints supporter but I applaud however they go about things as they are the benchmark of this competition. I would be a little upset also about losing a couple of Grand Finals to Saints... I can also see why you are a little upset becuase you guys did not get Gill either. I...
I have enjoyed and noticed the change around Norths for the last 2 years, they have taken some great steps forward... Why the hell are they doing this? Premiership success is great and Lucas is a valuable player but how many current players will now be unhappy, or will soon be, by recruiting...
Toss up out of Hawks, Norths and Port for the 2nd spot. Hawks are the unknowns, at the moment they look to have lost a lot of ground from last year. But, on the other hand their ability to lure players to the club must be taken into account until June. The NT connections have not arrived yet...
Didn't miss much in the way of good footy Flinstone... Going against what Souths coach said I reckon you can take a bit out of the weekend.
Manunda - look like the big sliders, missing the core of players from last year. Coach (Clint) looked ok but I expected more. How many play cricket still...
Heard that about Hawks but did not believe it. I was told they will struggle to fill 2nds that is why I asked about the NT players coming across. Surely they have a heap playing cricket who will play?
Big Sandi... How is the Manunda coach going?
South Cairns have recruited in numbers, they should be competitive with the top teams again this year. Well done to them and I hope it is sustainable.
Pre Season cup this weekend, Any draws out yet?
Will the NT boys be coming back across for the Hawks?
Who are the recruits to watch from each...
Saw the Whitsundays boys train recently.. How did the kid Batt go? Played with my young bloke in Brisbane I am pretty sure and I would think he would have dominated AFL Mackay.
back pedalling Flinstone? Must admit that the way your post read it was a pot shot at the Saints. Who cares who pays what, if Souths beat Saints then it is 4 points.
I understand that at certain stages you have to overpay players to get them to join your club, but what kind of players does...
Manunda finally have a coach. Clinton Gribble... Looks a likely footballer. How long since Manunda have had a playing coach? I reckon the signing of Weetra is the key, will keep a few hot heads in line. Plugger - Has your boyfriend Glen Martin been training?
Norths looked to have improved, I...
I understand that they have picked up ok but will lack depth.... Need 15 new good players, but they have got a few very handy ones. Whether that means no reserves. They are on the right track with Roe.
Have Hawks got a coach?
