is it just me or is there next to no clearances coming into north cairns ? plenty outgoing. can any affiliated with norths comment on any possible recruits ? thoughts on how the ladder will look toward the pointy end of the season ? mine port: no challengers this season hawks : possibly ports...

is there any pre season comp or practice matches this season ?

I believe the hawks could match it with the top 3 with the lack of big men there only downfall this season however could shock one of the above mentioned top 3 come finals. As for the saints improvement if they don't put away lions by 200+ ( which seems to be the yardstick at the moment ) this...

Manunda are no slouches this season Tamba. I didn't rate them at the start but look to be well drilled under Marc harbrow. Your boys should bounce back and definitely roll a very placid saints easy in a couple weeks time.

Im going all stars by a lot more. Pretty weak indigenous side named with a bit of talent left out. However I suspect chapple won't risk playing which might bring the 2 teams closer

Teams released today. Emails sent out to players on the Friday. No real surprises with port , Souths and centrals making up 70% of the selected. Who selects these players or are they nominated ? Oliver Koch has played 40 mins of senior football his career. The kid is an undeniable talent but...

Afl cairns has been here before and dare say this won't be the last time a team is in this situation. There is a positive way to look at it I guess. There will be 3 small battles going on throughout the season with a battle for top 2 with port centrals and Souths. Battle for 4th between hawks...

Anyone else see a cricket score line up in port today against the lions ? 2-350

Thanks lachrilly

Do any of you gentleman know where clubs buy their yellow training footys ? Anywhere in cairns ? I'm looking to donate a few to one of our local colts team

I think you will find most clubs will be more than accomodating irregardless of skills/ability or even if not going to play a game for the season. If your not familiar with the league or where teams are located in your area then jump on afl cairns website and have a look at some locations. I...

Too true !! I have heard from several former lions and current that that was the whole reason for all this walkout ( coaching and admin ). Don't know if any truth to the rumour but also heard that incoming admin/coach got told by outgoing admin there was 60k+ In the account to spend on possible...

It's a fine line I guess. City lions had started tasting success when they started spending a bit of money and recruited from down south however you look now and they are back to where they were 5/6 years ago.

Yeah I wasn't a fan of centrals at the start of the season and could of been Souths playing s**t that made centrals look the goods. They seem to enjoy paying a fair bit of coin to finish 3rd-4th every season. Is making finals and going out 1st week every season really worth spending 100k+ a year ?

I was told by a couple of centrals players that it was the best game they have played in the past couple years. New recruits and current stock must be gelling together after 4-6 weeks full training together

Yeah Port should go all the way relatively unchallenged this season. After last weeks effort from centrals against saints I had Souths penciled in but looks like they will do what they have done consistently the past 10 years and finish 3rd/4th and exit 1st week or 2 of finals. Looking at the...

Hopefully between the senior players they have now and the incoming committee and coaching staff they can make the right decisions toward the pointy end of the season in regards to securing a senior coach and in recruitment of players for the following year like every other normal club that has...

Have heard that Jordan Gerrans is getting his information from an outgoing committee member/president who has yet to see a game this season . And this committee member/president is 1 of the major reasons that majority of the players have left. I personally have played(and sure many of you on...

Credit where credit is due manunda took it up to a strong port side. Must admit it was good to see centrals lose and not to many excuses coming out of the kennel either. Finally congratulations to north cairns !! Lions were only down by 4 goals at the main break but with a limited bench and...

Tips for the weekend gents ? Centrals v saints : centrals by 30 in a up and down game Lions v tigers : tigers by under 5 goals ( should be looked at as a win for lions) Hawks v port : port by 100+ if they anywhere near full strength. Gross to bag 5+

Will be an interesting weekend coming up to see if saints can get over centrals out there which I reckon will be the closest match of the season thus far. It wouldn't surprise me if port left a few big names out this weekend for their trip down to cazalys but still don't think hawks will give...

I watched saints v norths on Saturday and although saints won by the margin that they did they were far from convincing with norths reverting to the days of old and were focused on one thing and it wasn't football. Once saints put a couple quick ones on after half time you could tell it was...

Short answer is yes I'm a fan of Marc No I'm not a fan of his team ( not against Souths anyway )

Marc harbrow is a top bloke. I know him personally and have played with him and under him. A handful of guys that he has playing under him at the moment have previously left lions to play under him again and with a few older blokes still getting a call up in the senior squad I just can't see...

I will stand by my Souths touch up of hawks. Hawks taking it to a centrals side with 4/5 colts in it means nothing and I honestly see manunda being the old city lions under harbrow this season

Yeah agree on all 3 tips their although centrals v port will be the closest game out of the lot with centrals maybe even leading at the 1st change. Always a tough assignment in port however so port by around 30 Souths by 100 Saints by 40

Spot on lachrilly !!

I didn't get to see much of them last year however seen that they were in the finals race right up to the end of the season which is a vast improvement of the old lions that we were all used to seeing toward the bottom end of the ladder. Will be a very long season for them and I hope they can...

I did hear a few rumours that the never paid these 2 ex afl players to play but also heard that they didn't pay any of the senior players for round 1 to cover their expenses. I personally think Dempsey could of played down back where he was rarely sighted in the defensive 50 all day and...

Was out to watch lions v Souths @ holloways and was taken back by the support shown by the whole south cairns football club and the way they conducted themselves on and off the field all the way from the president through to the reserve players and for simply hanging around after the game ( some...
