Heath Hocking taking on the full time role as coach after the role being upgraded from a part time job. Expect a few more Tiwi players coming down for mini camps.
Danial Hanna going to be playing for us in the VFL .

I’ve never seen Tom play or even seen recent photos of him, could understand things being pretty tough for him so my expectations are rather low.
Seems to be a left-field and highly speculative invitation considering we have not heard (pun intended) one iota of junior development news or word of potential talent throughout his youth. Add to that the 7 years of hell his family has gone through and I had well and truly put a line through his name. Will watch with great interest.
 
Was just checking out some of the training pics on twatter. Geez he looks like his old man in the face. Kind of a spooky timewarpy feeling.
