Could not have said it better myself.. Does anyone know how many players in their senior side this season were actually over 21?

they actually played 22 teenagers in their seniors this year.

 

[Off the Bench]

Devonport coach Ned Perry must be about due to jump off the Devonport bridge with a bag of cement tied to his feet. Really feel for that bloke he is as paationate about his club and his players as anyone i have seen and backs them to the hilt.
He even defended them after they got smashed in a Grand Final again this year.
Maybe they need to get a sports phycologist in there to try and help them with there Grand Final jitters if they make it again

Would there be a bigger monkey on any 1 clubs back around the whole country let alone Tassie footy in regards to a clubs(all 3 grades)
GF appearances? I must feel like a gorilla for Ned now.....

Yes ok, it is great to see them blooding some young depth, however history seems to see these young players often drift off to clarence, which is a crying shame.

And lets be honest about the state of the SFL... after watching Glenorchy Reserves put on such a professional display of football in the 06 grand final, it is clear that they would defeat bottom SFL senior sides and compete with the run of the mill teams, we need a balance... EG : Aaron Cornelious starting full forward at Brighton, Lauderdale, Hobart, and Kingston with the exclusion of Darcy...

its a frightening prospect, and AC is not alone as a walk in starter to senior footy at other clubs, what about a Brock Nightingale, Clinton French or a Nathan Matthews to name a few

It is very difficult for clubs with strong lists such as Glenorchy, New Norfolk, and Clarence, is giving young players the chance to plat SENIOR football is very hard.Often these players move to a club where they can play seniors.

rumour has it chris hevey maybe heading back to bomberland after a year at the ships in the osfa

 

[footy55]

apparenltey on the under 19's front Boom lindisfarne player Jarrod Kleeman is planning a comeback to the black and white of glenorchy next year. With pre-season in his sights it is rumoured that kleeman is keen to have another good year back at his old stomping ground KGV

mm1999 i went to high school with kleeman and i think that he can deliver the goods at regional level but may not be ready for the style of football played in the premier league, especially at Glenorchy ... I think give him another year in the reserves at lindisfarne and see how he fairs at the end of 2007!! Has anyone heard the latest on no.2 ruckman Trent Duggan from the two blues aswell?? rumour has it he went in for a knee reconstruction earlier this week?? Maybe you could inform me on that Cleo??

 

[mightymagpie1999]

Anybody whos already missing football in tassie get along to North Hobart oval on Wednesday the 4th of October at around 2:30 and watch some good quality college footy between Guilford young college and Elizabeth college. Should be a good game with guilford fielding a very strong team but Elizabeth will be out as the underdogs and will be looking to cause an upset. So get along and enjoy a game of footy. In a special note VFL Umpire ben lehner will be making a shock return to football for his first game since under 14's could this add incentive for guilford? Time will only tell!

Ned and the boys are carrying King Kong on there back at the minute. It is extremly hard for any club anywhere to get three sides into a granny let alone twice in a row plus the seniors three in a row.
Hopefully the boys will stick together and win one. It would be a massive relief for them and a massive party.

 

[Two Blue]

Interesting to note that Plappy put an application in for the Brighton coaching position nominating a figure higher than the salary cap. Surely it was a bit of piss taking, otherwise what hope is there when AFL Tas employees try to rort the cap.

I heard he was approached to do the Brighton job and offered a shed full of Ray Looty (cash). Burnie is chasing hard still but wont get him. Who knows it is the silly season rumour wise.

I play for Branxholm in the NEFU, and without giving away my identity, i missed the last senior premierships in the 90's through injury and have subsequently played in 5 or 6 losing grand finals, and a couple of prelim exits. Add to that a couple of prelim final exits in the early 90's. We again lost the the seniors and reserves Grannies a fortnight ago.

There is also a core bunch of us in our mid 30's who played in the Branxholm under 16's during the 80's and we managed to lose 3 Grand finals in a row as well.

All have won some premierships at the club however except me. I am cursed!

 

[judburyjets]

Surely young Colin Garland would not be silly enough to play in a social game a month before the draft.... Can't see the logic in that. Also, I find it ineteresting that J Crouch from Glenorchy has been named. Considering Jesse would be about 22 or 23 years old, i find it hard to believe that he attends EC...

Few no namers in that team mm1999 ... Good to see Cormac Collins take up the real brand of footy (Cormac is from Ireland and has played at a senior level of Gaelic Football for several years) ... Looking forward to the game though i will be there.....

Yeah Cormac has just taken up the game of Aussie Rules so will be intresting to see how he goes. Ben Clarke has apparentley been training for this game for nearly 7 weeks now shows the dedication some of the boys have in that EC team which more than covers for the lack of talent. Will be good to see if a few people get along to watch the game. Just one name to keep a eye on Gary Hayes a youngster who gave up football for a few years is returning for his first game and is licking his lips at the prospect of possibly lining up on a few of the "Star" Players from GYC in the first game and has also been said that he will play on young superstar jack riewoldt in the second game against rosny college on the 11th of october

Jake Crouch younger brother of Jessie ... Year 11 .. Key position player .... Part of the glenorchy colts premiership side this season

Yeah Gary Hayes is a thug and nothing but it!!!! I'd be very weary playing footballers like Jack and Colin in these sort of games because Gary Hayes is capable of wrecking someones football career and when it comes down to it a social game is not worth it!! My tip is Hayes sent off first quarter and arrested in the 3rd!!

Rumour has it he will be playing under sedation and police supervision

You will find the team that wins Premier League Reserves would beat all regional league teams and 3-4 of the Premier League seniors. Classic example with Glenorchy this year and Clarence last year. Clarence 2's had Doyle, Toole, Skeggs (dropped for the GF, the other two played in this years senior flag) playing in their P'ship. Throw in Noel, Standen & a host of other very good players.

Where is Clinton French from up north? Polled well in the B&F, 5 best on's

I am not doubting the quality of the 2's in the premier league, but i think they would be up against it playing against the top 2 or 3 from the regional. There are some very good players in the premier 2's, especially some of the young guys, but put them up against Curran, McLeod, Haw, Pears etc and I think they would be outclassed. There are quite a few proven premier league players in the regional league and it may not be as bad a standard as you may think....

Hope not, would be a shame. Great bloke and player who has fitted in a treat.

Glenorchy 2's would beat Dodges Easily. Tim Green was running around for the 2's. Come finals the classy prem teams would win

Has anyone heard the latest on no.2 ruckman Trent Duggan from the two blues aswell?? rumour has it he went in for a knee reconstruction earlier this week?? Maybe you could inform me on that Cleo??

Nah 1st i have herd of this mate, Big Trent should be the number one ruck man but he has a massive job of backing up 3 time reserver leauge B&F Chris Russell. Can any one tell me how old that guy is. also on Kleeman the word is he has also name Claremont and OHA as teams he would liek to play for next season
