I was there that day along with many others. I have never lost my s**t at a footy game like i did when he kicked that goal. He was 1 of our too few successful recycled players and absolutely deserves a send off game. If only we had more with his passion and determination Sent from my...

I must have spoken to the same little bird, heard all pres (bar centrals who was not present) agreed penalty too harsh and lack of consultation as a major problem. Unfortunately I think this will overshadow a genuine 3 horse race for the flag. My point about the committee having to accept...

Massive call from CAFL, but good on em for having the balls to do it. I didn't think a fine was enough and playing for no points next year would make a mockery of the comp. Not usually a conspiracy theory type, but maybe this helps them with the dilemma of having Hawks at Cazalys when/if NEAFL...

Yeah fairly harsh to be calling a 17-18 year old kid, who has held a senior spot in a pretty good team, a'2nd rate player at best'. Kids playing seniors can be made to look ordinary but getting early games in against the men can only fast track their improvement. Anyway my picks: Flag-...

Norths beat Centrals today by about 6 goals, but the big story is the Hawks forfeit. 'Allegedly' it IS to do with Boxsall, the term 'death threats' was used by a league employee. My question is, does a whole club have to forfeit because of 1 bloke? Surely you just tell him to have the week off...

I heard it was something to do with Boxsall but lack of pay makes more sense

Great Great win by the tigers today, in front all day, were challenged hard in the 3rd before responding to win by 6 goals. Surprised by the effort from Cities, such a big game for them after so many years out and they really didn't seem overly interested. 4th spot still up for grabs but...

Geez think you are waaaayyy overrating your ground tamba!

Big Footy favourite Lukas Ehlich finally fronted the tribunal last night, was given 8 weeks on 3 separate charges and an additional week for failing to appear at original hearing.

Heard about this from one of the players and was told it was one of the lowest acts he had seen, the victim is one of the smallest, and most courageous, in the league. Now has the rest of the year off, while this pathetic attempt for a human being gets a weeks rest. This is a major flaw in the...

I'm not sure what you mean by people who can't let go? If the people who 'can't let go', do let go, there will be no one left, its easier for people new to the club to just quit if something doesn't work out for them, or they don't get what they want. They don't really have their heart in it...

I'm still here mate, you want to tell me who the 'self glorified clowns' are? Are they the ex president and ex coach who decided it was all too hard and threw in their towel? Or are they the loyal club people who are left pick up the scraps and try to run a club? Go on speak the truth.....

Died off?? No, just needed some recovery time after a disappointing grand final. Not sure how the bank balance is looking but judging by the lack of recruits I would guess not good. But I tell you Friday nights win has done wonders for the group. We have a great core of kids who have played...

Fantastic win by the kids last night! After seeing the teams named in the paper, went to the ground fearing the worst but the guts these young fellas showed was amazing. Spent the entire 2nd half waiting for the Saints to run over the top of us but they just couldn't get in front, just a pity...

Wow, first look at this for the year and by the look of the 1st 4 pages think I might wait til closer to season to look again. Was hoping to see how new coaches/recruiting/training numbers are going but not much to read about. Do Saints still not pay players???!!! who'd a thunk it. And geez I've...

Just another mug punter in spring heaven having a go here but worth a crack. R2 Sysmo. Have been waiting for this bloke since his last campaign. Reckon he's better than this lot. R5 Dolly Dolly. I think she is a great each way bet, will love Flemington. R6 Rebel Dane. What a race. Tough...

Ok my attempt at the 9 winners (would consider 3 as a pass for the best day of the year) R1 Hucklebuck. Too good. R2 Kirramosa. Most seem to think the Sydney colts are better, so why not the girls? R3 Araldo. Think the Seam Moon form will stand up. On Tuesday as well. R4 Zoustar. To get done...

Gee way to go over the top you blokes. Tennick lays a solid hip and shoulder on Dixon, knocks the wind out of him, and all of a sudden we are thugs and Richter and Hanlon are running the tribunal!!! Was probably outside the 5m zone so worth a free kick. Anyway couple of good wins for the...

He's a skilled reciever who is probably in the top 10 in the brownlow at the moment...

wowee, haven't been here for a while but managed to get down to Watsons for a look on Saturday and wondered what would be said about the game. My thoughts for what they are worth. yes, Ehlich is a loose cannon, but he is a gun and the type of player that we need ON the field to take us to that...

Tigers by 6 goals at Watsons', great game, even all day before we ran away in the last. Saints 2s by 3 goals.

The funny thing is, and Gribble probably doesn't even know, that Hawks were the ones who started recruiting locally, grabbing the likes of Rundle, Lane, Alick back in 05. What the paper doesn't say is most of these players are returning to their junior club (Ehlich, Alick, Buller, Wray) Powell...

Are you for real?? Noone but the reigning undefeated premiers will be flag favourites before a ball is bounced, and even then it probably won't change.

He never played for the tigers, from memory he played cricket with Rovers (who train at Watsons) and was no doubt approached but has been Hawks all the way. 30 odd at Tigers first training run for the year, a few rumours getting around about recruits but nothing concrete yet...

OK Ok I'll have a go. R1 Pronto Pronto - wide run last start but stuck on well R2 Gatewood - best horse in the race R3 Zydeco hard to beat but Transonic to be there Quinella R6 Its a Dundeel, been on it since it won 1st up in SYd. Reckon he might smash em. R7 Rasberries roughie wide last start...

Not the only one mate, ran some cracking races in Sydney and seems to be the forgotten horse atm. I'll have it with ready to rip, if it doesn't get a start I'll stick with Buff. Just another mug punter speaking though.

Watsons - Does not having the seniors in the final help with selection for the 2's or not? ie - do a few players come in to the side or go out due to not being qualified? I think we get 2 of the young fellas back and maybe 1 or 2 from injury. Not sure it will be enough, but we will see...

Your logic bewilders me Dontargue, if,if if, all you can do is beat whats out there and as we won a lot more games than previous years I would say we have improved. Whether the standard of the league has improved is irrellevant, at the end of the day ladder position/finals is what is remembered.

Ok lets go over this post. For a start, you obviously think I played yesterday but I was in the stand supporting my team like I have done for years. We got the jump because we were kicking with a 6 goal breeze and you duly fought back in the 2nd with the aid of said wind advantage. We blew it...

Not sure what you were watching but I don't think we stopped trying until the final siren, game was still well in the balance until mid/late last term. 3rd quarter cost us. Pleasing thing for the Tigers future is that when we did get back into it, it was our 16-17 year olds who got us going...
