Hahaha!well done Moocher
Kingpin's old favourite! Ambrose Macdonald, a villainous looking hardnut that would have scared the living daylights out of the current mob of orange men!
Good old Kevin "Ambrose" McDonald!
Had a terribly hard upbringing that fella, footy was his big thing in life, don't think he became a senior footballer 'til he was about 25 and unfortunately had a hair-trigger temper which got the better of him, strangely after his exploits in the 1986 Grand Final for Sandy Bay and the belting he gave Kim Excell he was running around for Campbell Town (I think it was) the next season in the Northern Amatuers before he went inside.
Geez, imagine how the young blokes of today would cope with the likes of Ambrose McDonald, Darren Winter, Dale Whish-Wilson, Tony "Tatts" Brand, Greg Farquahar, Todd Spearman, Tim Deacon, Andy Goodwin, David Rhys-Jones, Brenton Tapp and the list goes on - there'd be a mass exodus to the Old Scholars or the SFL or something
Far out footy was different back then, no wonder the crowds were so good, there was genuinely always action going on everywhere!
PS: I've started doing a lot of research in my spare time at the State Library on the league back in the '80's for Wikipedia.

You forgot about your own Tony Marchant! They didn't call him Boots for nothing didn't they!
Anyone have a copy of the 86 granny (Seagulls/Pies) on DVD available? In fact also interested in any Sandy Bay games anyone might have available right up until their exit from the league. Particularly any games covered that were played at Queenborough.
Shoot me a PM if you have any, so the thread doesn't get clogged and we can negotiate a price etc for your time.
Cheers.

Yep Boots Marchant and Brendan Walsh are another two
I remember Boots and Tony Brand punching the s**t out of one another over the boundary fence and falling into the crowd at York Park in 1989 or 1990 right in front of the old Cameron-Tyson Stand!
The ABC Television sports department here in Hobart should have relevant copies of what you're after there John
I believe it costs about $50 for a DVD of a match, at least, that's what they charged our Old Players & Officials to copy the entire 1980 TANFL Grand Final onto DVD.
So give them a ring at the ABC during the week

Guy Grey (his beard made him look hard), David Giles, Darren Winter ( could always get in the right spot to clean you up), Paul Dac, Michael Schulz, Andy Goodwin ( Super tough ), Jock Macgregor, Rattray (Nth Hobart he was crazy), Dale Whish-wilson ( players would run away from him), Dale Hall, Wayne Weedaman, Byron Howard, Ian Gardam ( Hard as nails).
Scott Walker from Nth told me that he always use to play on the other one from Burnie.
All the guy's mentioned ran straight at it.

True....he only use to scare other teams because he could turn a game in five mintes if not closely checked

Alan Giffard. Played one game with the Bears in 1987, and was at South in 1989, until he left midseason in 1990. He was a regular customer when I was working at Bullet Video in Newstead in 1989. Never seen anyone who could scoop up a ball at ground level in the Youngtown mud like him...exceptionally skilled...
Toughest bloke I ever played with!
I played against Tim when I was at devonport and played with him when he came up to southport ..ripper bloke
Darren perry absolute champion
lucky to have played with him in 96And a lovely bloke
The umpires came into the rooms before the game a few times and pulled Andy and myself aside and said that we tackle and hit with too much vigor and we need to tone it down . Goodas just looked with a sly smile and set let's go nothing's changed .I didn't go round wacking blokes and if I did they would of deserved it .7 reports got done once !
Treated harshly I reckon lol
