Shock shake-up rocks Robins' hopes

THE Robins' State League nest now looks empty. When the clubs and AFL Tasmania met on Friday, the issue of Ulverstone joining the State League next season was not discussed at length, and no vote was taken by the clubs. In effect it was put on the backburner by AFL Tasmania's proposal to the clubs about a restructure of the competition next year. A major attraction for Northern clubs to Ulverstone's entry was that the Robins would provide a crucial sixth team to create a fully functioning northern under 19 competition.
AFL Tasmania pulled the rug from under that premise with its proposal the statewide competition involve seniors competition and a youth team competition. Launceston president Mark Thurlow referred to it in the TSL preliminary final program. "The committee at Launceston believe the positives outweigh the negatives as the decision pertains to the regional youth competition," he said. He said one of the positives was a six-club northern under 18 or 19 competition that allowed the three teams from the club to play together on the same day at the same location. Ulverstone president John Deacon said it was a waiting game for the club, and the only feedback he had received from the meeting was that the Robins' situation had not much been discussed. He expected more details in mid-October. However, AFL Tasmania general manager Scott Wade said the atmosphere at the meeting of all 10 clubs on Friday was not positive where Ulverstone was concerned.
"The mood of the room was that it felt that the competition should settle in ... quite clearly all parties agreed that we can't chop and change all the time," Wade said. He added that the Ulverstone Football Club had officially presented its business plan to AFL Tasmania, and that the UFC would receive a response in due course. If AFL Tasmania likes the plan, it could ask the clubs to vote on Ulverstone joining next season. The meeting on Friday also discussed a number of operational issues and possible rule changes from events during the year and in accordance with the submissions from the clubs. Wade expects those changes and next season's roster to be wrapped up by the end of October as well. NTFL president Andrew Richardson was happy for Ulverstone to remain in the NTFL next season. "I don't think there would be any backlash at all ... we need that sixth team," he said.

Former Ulverstone Premiership Player Kent Abey, now playing with Morningside in Queensland, recently appeared on the Footy Show's 'Almost Football Legends'. Kent took a mark right on the goal line and quickly kicked the ball across the line, only to find out that he was infact kicking a point and not a goal! Kent was voted the winner on the night so congratulations to Kent. We must say though your goal kicking ability seems to have gone downhill since you last kicked at the big sticks for the Robins!

Question 13

Latrobe Practice Match

Accepted Answer

ULVERSTONE 5.4 8.6 10.9 11.10 (76)
LATROBE 1.1 3.3 5.4 7.5 (47)
Goals – Robins: H. Anderson, T. McCrossen, J. Gale 2, J. Rodman, R. Hubble, J. Chatwyn, A. Johnson, K. Hanson.
Best – Robins: T. McCrossen, D. Banham, J. Gale, K. Hanson, J. Marshall, B. Johnson.
Injuries – T. McCrossen, D. Banham, K. Hanson (all leather poisoning).
Reports: G. Wesley, R. Bloom, M. Walmsley (all Ulverstone).
Crowd: 17 at Haywoods Reserve.
Can count: Trevor Brooks 14, Craig Price 12, Gary Crawford 11.
IT’S not often a winning coach smiles when he sees three of his star recruits taken to hospital in an ambulance.
But that is exactly what Max ``The Dentist’’ Brown did after watching the ex-Devonport trio of Darren Banham, Trent McCrossen and Kurt ``Anderson’’ Hanson firstly destroy a game
Latrobe at Haywoods Reserve on Friday night then head straight to the Mersey Hospital with severe leather poisoning.
The dynamic threesome lit up an otherwise dull and error-ridden match with their effortless ball-winning helping the Robins to lead at every break on their way to a 11.10 (76) to 7.5 (47) win.
``Banham and McCrossen certainly showed poise and class while Anderson could easily had three or four goals in an encouraging display,’’ the Dentist said.
 ``We got plenty out of the match and I was also happy to see Ross Hubble do well when he shifted into the ruck and Jarrod Gale kept plugging away in another promising effort.’’
Despite the showing of McCrossen, Banham and Hanson onball, the Robins still wasted the ball with indirect play and poor decision making.
Time and again with a player running free, poor disposal contributed to a turnover with gangly Demon tall Mathew Stephenson the normal benefactor.
Big ``Stevo’’ started at centre half back and had a run in the ruck on his way to a 18 mark game but apart from Charlie Ritchie, he received little support from his mid-sized team-mates.
From the first bounce though the fitter Robins created opportunities with their willingness to run from all lines.
Gale and Hamish Anderson in the key forward posts seemed an unlikely pairing but both were effective and worked hard despite Stephenson’s aerial dominance.
Hanson’s pace was another bonus for the Robin’s with the boilermaker-welder’s first three kicks all registering points.
``I was really nervous and wanted to do well,’’ Hanson told former coach Craig Price after the game.
``I know I have to kick goals and create opportunities if I want to play seniors and was a bit disappointed with my finishing work.’’
In one superb section of play late in the first term, Gale, Anderson and Hanson combined to pressure the undermanned Demon defence into a turnover which resulted in Hanson’s first red and black goal.
Regular defender Jayden Marshall was another to show the benefit of a strong preseason with a good effort on the wing and flank.
``Tigger’’ marked strongly and used his renowned long kicking with effect.
  With the scoreboard getting lopsided midway through the second quarter, umpire Ricky Youd provided a game highlight when he showed some unintentional aggression by ironing
 out Banham in a comical centre square skit.
Wagga recruit Ken Vanderfeen was relieved by Hubble in the ruck and spent time up forward before settling across half back.
``Feen’s’’ run and the inclusion of Nathan Howard off the bench provided a spark in defence but the Robins could not continue their scoreboard fluency.
With the Demons showing more fight, Hubble decided to audition for the upcoming ``Fight Night’’ featuring Gale in a quick sparring session on the Robins half-forwardline.
The rangy Hubble’s fistic efforts earnt him a cheer from the pro-Robin crowd but an early night on the bench from the umpires. The mini-melee sparked a three goal run by the Robins to snuff out the tired Demons.
Ulverstone’s next outing is at York Park against Glenorchy next week and ``the Dentist’’ may be able to consider rested players Jason King, Jarrod Skidmore, Sam WhishWilson,
Nils Williams, Darren Crawford, Nathan Applebee, Shaun Conkie, Luke Marshall, Randal Mee, Mathew Alford, Ben Murfet, Justin Hayes and the revitalised Geoff Wesley.  
VOTES-
T. Brooks ( ex-champion)
3: McCrossen
2: Banham
1: Gale.
Justin Hayes ( current champion)

Question 19

State League clubs lining up to support Ulverstone's entry

Accepted Answer

BY MARTIN AGATYN
16/09/2009 9:22:00 AM
REIGNING NTFL premier Ulverstone could have up to five of the six votes it needs to join the Tasmanian State League. The Advocate has learned, from several reliable sources, that an Ulverstone bid is likely to have the support of Burnie, Launceston, Lauderdale, Clarence and South Launceston. Devonport and Hobart clubs have openly stated opposition to such a move, while North Launceston, North Hobart and Glenorchy are believed to be undecided. Of the five clubs believed to support an expansion, Launceston and Burnie have previously publicly expressed support. Robins' president John Deacon said yesterday no club had yet told him emphatically "yes, we will vote for you." "You know more than me," Deacon said yesterday.
But the club could be closer to gaining the required support than it is letting on - as indicated when Deacon reiterated earlier comments that if the vote was taken this week, he was "confident" Ulverstone would get the nod. He said Ulverstone's bid had been presented to every club in recent weeks, except Devonport, which would view the presentation tomorrow night. Deacon said he felt the presentation had been well received by a majority of clubs. AFL Tasmania's business plan includes a desire to expand the competition from 10 to 12 teams. However, its licence agreement with the existing 10 clubs includes a clause stating the approval of a majority of clubs (six) must exist before any expansion.
Club presidents are due to convene for a scheduled meeting with AFL Tasmania on Friday. AFL Tasmania general manager Scott Wade said he had not been advised of an agenda item on expansion of the league. "I don't expect a vote to be taken on Friday," Wade said. "AFL Tasmania will ultimately make the decision," Wade said. "But such a decision would not be made without full and proper consultation with the NTFL."

Congratulations Luke Marshall 200 Senior Games

Accepted Answer

Luke Marshall will play his 200th game for the Ulverstone Football Club this week against Smithton. Luke is a product of Ulverstone High School and first played under 19 football for the club upon leaving school in 1996 but unluckily missed selection in the premiership side of that year. Undeterred Luke rose to the challenge and played in the 1997 unders flag before he made his senior debut under Ritchie Elliott in 1998. 2000 was a great year for Luke being a key player in the Senior premiership team and winning the senior best and fairest that year. He has been a loyal and respected player over the years and who would forget the great job he did on Launceston star Adam Derbyshire in the mid noughties. His other brush with fame was the helicopter ride from Aurora stadium after a final so that he could get to his sisters wedding near Hobart in time and still be able to play. His loyalty to Ulverstone was rewarded last year with another premiership in 2009. Bazz will join an illustrious group of players to play 200 games for Ulverstone and become a playing Life member. Well Done on a great career and hopefully there will be more games to come.

Question 24

Accepted Answer

The team had a very good week last week and their work ethic in the absence of fitness coach Dave Beard was very good.  Training numbers on Friday exceeded 40 and the boys were put into groups to run 470 metre runs around the boundary in varying times.Vincent Ponsonby and the rest of the quick group were excellent.  However all groups put in to such an extent that the Senior Coach reduced the amount from 10 to 8.  Bentley Johnson and Dayle Brooks were 2 of the new faces last week, along with recruit Mark Harris who trained on Wednesday and Friday.There will be an intra-club shortly as a lead-up to the first practice game which is only 2 weeks from this Sunday (24th February against Scottsdale at Ulverstone).Some of the under 19`s continue to impress with their attendance with Luke Dyson, Sam Lutwyche and Adam Holmstrom regularly attending. The boys are keen and looking in good shape and I am sure this month will now go very quickly.

Question 27

Robins Pump Magpies

Accepted Answer

ROBINS PUMP MAGPIES
IT may only be a practice match in early March against a team from another competition, but the new-look Ulverstone certainly showed it will be a better and more
equipped team to challenge the big NTFL teams this season following its 77-point thumping of Glenorchy on Saturday.
On the wide open spaces of former graveyard, Aurora Stadium, the Robins displayed plenty of leg speed, clean ball handling and cohesion to smash one of the
SFL’s premier teams in an awesome display.From the opening bounce where Ken Vanderfeen bounded high over the Magpie ruckman to hit a mobile rover, the
Robins were clearly a class above as they careered away to a six goal to nothing lead at quarter time.
Led superbly by teenager Hamish Anderson, the lightning quick Darren Banham, hard-at-it Jarrod Gale, the rejuvenated Jayden Marshall on a wing and unlikely backman
 Kurt ``Anderson’’ Hanson, Ulverstone simply displayed all the skills coach Max Brown has been hammering into the squad since October.
Swift handball at the stoppages followed by a long direct kick to one of the myriad of mobile forwards has been a rarity at Ulverstone in recent years but promises to become its
 trademark this season. Another pleasing aspect was the way Ulverstone kept its game together in the hot and humid conditions.
In the past with a match well in hand, the Robins have been guilty of relaxing but that was not evident with quarter goal scores of six, four, four and four.
With round one opponent North Launceston watching on, Brown moved his players like chess pieces keeping not only Glenorchy guessing but the Bombers as well.
Anderson played back and forward, Hanson in a back pocket and on ball, Luke Marshall full forward and back, Justin Rodman and Nils Willliams at centre half forward and back,
Gale on a wing and Jarrod Skidmore as a ruck rover.Stand-in captain Darren Crawford snared four goals to be the major scorer with no fewer than 12 players sneaking onto the
 goalkicker’s list.Better players were Banham,``Warnie’’ McCrossen, Gale, Rodman, J. Marshall, Anderson, Hanson, Crawford, Vanderfeen and B. Johnson.

Gurday Again

Accepted Answer

Hi again Zumster,   I know I should get over it and get on with things but I can't. I havebeen having nightmares ol' mate about the 2007 season and how close wewent and all that. I have gotta get it out of me system as it isstarting to have an effect on my home life.   Ol' Robyn has been telling me to get over it and to start paying hersome long overdue attention or else...
 
Well the ol' Ball and Chain should know better than to put ultimatums tothe Rampant, cos she can go and get stuffed if she don't like the waythe Rampant is behaving. She has got to remember that there are plentyof North West women cueing up to take her job - if ya get my driftZumstar.   Anyway with the season now only about 120 days away from kick-off, Ithought I had better start getting my mind of the game and ontosomething else. But the question being, what can replace footy? And you and me know that there is nothing out there that even comes close.  
 
So last Saturday with Robyn's threats ringing in me Ginger Beers, Iheaded out to the Ulvey Cricket Club to watch some of the footy boys inaction - and didn't I get a surprise at who was playing.   Firstly, senior VC clubman Andrew Leary was walking out in his neatlypressed creams to open the batting for the home team.   Well this should be good I said to meself as I ordered a Carlton fromFormer Hard Man Terry Leary at the bar.   So with that in mind I headed to the Slashatorium to take a quick leakand then settle into the VC Lizard's knock. But to my surprise when Ireturned to the bar 30 seconds later, the VC troublemaker was on themarch back to the pavilion. Out for a quacker, zero or as Robyn likes tocall me, the Big O provider.   Geez what a let down, all I needed was the fellow VC clubman in WWO Cookto play for us as well, and we would indeed have the two worst bats in NWTCA history at the crease together.   But later on, young SOBucket Josh Walmsley starred with the bat,rattling up a cool ton. What a beaut he is, I detect he is a natural this boy, he could beanything.   Ex-backman Luke Richardson was doing his best Shoab Akhtar impersonationfrightening the opposition with the ball while in the Magoos, young Botty was doing well and Lady Killer Haynes was making his presence feltwith a well compiled 7 from 88 deliveries.   But I was getting bored quick and started belting down the Carltons andthen a few Syrups just to keep meself a bit calm.  
 
The Former Hard Man was bored also but was keeping me entertained with his quick wit and sometimes funny jokes. He also is pretty wise and toldme that a Man who scratches his backside should not bite hisfingernails. He then added this pearler about Benny Cousins - he said,Man who stand on toilet is high on pot. But then topped it all with this- Crowded elevator smell different to a midget.   So with me A grade cricket fix under me belt, I ventured out into the country to watch a few more of our oval ball boys play in the lower bush grades.   Soden, McCrossen, Spa Boy Benny Murf and VC Banham are all in the oneteam and were slogging the opposition bowlers to all parts of the Gawlerground. What a shambles it was, they are too good for the comp by a mile and should be there pressing VC Lizard's boys for a game on the stuff Benny Cousins uses as a pre-game warm-up - grass.   But they like the laid back stuff and I did too. One of the oppositionblokes got called into work so I pulled on the whites to help em out.Modesty forbids me from telling ya how I went, but as you can imagine Idid okay, and maybe that's another story for another day.   So I'll leave ya with a bit of wisdom meself Zumstar, an ol' Hakowie Indian saying that says, Man who fish in other man's well often end up with crabs. Well, Zumstar, keep up the good work and let the boys know that training starts pretty soon.  
 
Signed THE RAMPANT ROBIN.

NTFL Pre-season preview

Accepted Answer

NTFL PRESEASON REVIEW
 
With the season fast approaching, we thought it might be interesting to do a quick review of the NTFL teams.
Regular readers would be very aware of the work the young Robins have been putting in and who the new faces are so we will not spend much time on them at present.
So we will start with our Western friends Smithton who last year dealt us a costly loss at their own home which meant a vital ladder position.
They made the first semi-final under coach Cameron Blight but he has jumped ship and headed down south to Kingston in the SFL. Meanwhile a few of their regular players also have decided the heat in the NTFL kitchen was getting too hot.
No names have been mentioned in the inbox as yet so one would assume that with no height in their key positions they will struggle a bit.
Looking into my crystal ball I the can see them beating Wynyard, Penguin, East Devonport and maybe South Launceston at home so a finish around about 8th is their best result.
Fellow Cape Country side Wynyard also have a new leader in noted hard-nut Dale Whish Wilson.
But they too have been hit by player losses and will find it hard to compete with the power sides. But Wynyard can be a tough team at home as Ulverstone will remember from two years ago and will beat a few teams if they are under-estimated. The Cats love to flick the ball around and do have a number of topliners but depth (or namely lack of it) will annoy Whish very early in the season. Predicted finish from 9th to 11th.
The once powerful Burnie still command respect in the league and have the base for a strong side, but with numbers low on the track at present, they may struggle to match it with the others in the early matches.
New coach Rod Keogh has lured the pacy and skilled Robbie Gilligan to the club as well as goal-sneak and noted back jumper, Jarrod Ryan.
But they must cringe every time they see a bloke like Brett Wilson sitting in the stands and not out on the field making everyone look good.
Big Davis is still the best ruck in the competition and he will make West Park seem like heaven for Gilligan and his midfield mates.
But with no height up forward and only the Strettons and Wooldridge in key posts a lot will hinge on juniors like McKenna and Reeves.
Final’s star Brett Archer is rumoured to be off to Ridgley so a finish just outside the five awaits.
Big money spenders Penguin have lost a heap of players but also have a new coach a some interstate recruits.
But again depth will test the Two Blues and another season on the wrong side of the win-loss ratio will eventuate.
Clint Carpenter is a solid type in the ruck and Max Brown’s mate Justin Cotton is a goer at full forward, but big things will be needed from the Ling boys as well as a huge lift from the mid-sized type Penguin has in over-abundance if they are to soar again.
They will struggle though and I think a spot just below Smithton is at hand.
Perennial enemy Devonport have lost some names but have also picked up a few good ones in an effort to offset their losses. Gallagher returns after a good year in the strong Ovens and Murray and a few of Penguin’s better kids have joined the black and white army.
But doubts remain over the Pies big-game jitters and maybe their time clock for a flag has passed them by.
Langmaid, Lowe, Hazelwood and Clements will be asked big questions and if they answer positively, well they might be there again for the fourth year in a row.
Maybe coach Perry might need to be able to leave Langmaid in the square and get a winning ruck into place. Maybe the Hess boys or Clint Matthews will do the job.
Fourth or third is my tip for the team everyone seems to hate.
Across the river East are in for another long, long year.
They could not afford to lose anyone but did and have recruited little to date.
Chris Dell’s second year at the job will be harder and more hurtful than season 2006.
They are after Ben and Tom Reynolds but will need plenty more to test the others. Tip …last.
Latrobe have been busy in the off season and Mannie Lynch is quietly confident.
A few noted runners are back in Viney and O’Toole so they will speed up a bit, but they need a regular winner at full forward or centre half. They also have struggled with the bigger sides like Devonport and Launceston with their smallish and treacle-slow backline.
The Demons will be hoping Josh Holland comes back from interstate and if Zane Littlejohn gets his kicks middle and forward, they might make the five.
South Launceston’s chances of finals went out the window when Westfield joined the Devils. Without him they will be also rans who will win a few home games and a few away. Bad luck Doggies. Somewhere between 7th and 10th for you.
North also have shown they are the league leaders in losing players with another two or three hundred taking off over summer.
On the credit side a few have come back so they might be okay. Grima, Gilligan and Ryan are huge losses so they will struggle away from home but may just make the five.
Premiers Launceston are a bit vulnerable with Derbyshire, Stephens and Carins all training with the Devils.
 
If they go and Shipton sticks true to his word to go, they will come back to the field a bit but still have the goods to make it two flags in a row. They have pace to burn, skills, height a smart coaching panel and final’s nerve. The yardstick for all.
So there you are, what do you think? Send Zumbuk your ladder and we will present it for all to see if you are a good judge.

Ulvey gets over Bulldogs

Accepted Answer

ULVEY GETS OVER BULLDOGS
ULVERSTONE’S great preseason form continued last weekend  with the team enjoying a comfortable
win over South Launceston at the Robin’s Victoria Street ground.Playing a six quarter mixed match, both
coaches agreed to field their best in the opening three before giving up to another 18 players from the
reserve grade the chance to shine.The Bulldogs jumped Ulverstone early and used the strong Southerly wind
 to bounce out to a three goal lead before the Robins hit back hard late in term one.Once again Les Hicks
 Medal winner Jarrod Gale shone on a wing opening up the South defence with somesearching runs.
Gale has fitted in well and on present form will be a hard man to match up with for opposition teams with
his height, pace and left-foot kicking.With their turn to enjoy the breeze, Ulverstone cleared out to a 20-point
lead before South rebounded hardin the third stanza.Seeking someone to ignite the Robins, coach Brown
turned to veteran reserves captain Travis “Birkenshire’’Burk.
The “pig’’ booted two rare goals in what is believed to be one of his only forwardline games in red and
black colours to kick the home side on to the winning post.“We ran fairly hard and whilst the kicking skills
 left a fair bit to be desired, I thought once again we got something out of the game,’’Brown said.
Another new recruit to make his debut was 40-something backman Daryl Galpin.
The former East Ulverstone star came on late and impressed with his willingness to run hard at the ball
and be accountable.Like all the 2007 recruits, the “Galpinator’’ has breathed fresh air into the club and
 looks set to be a top clubman this year.

TSL bid is in the bag says Deacon

Accepted Answer

[BB] ULVERSTONE BY MARTIN AGATYN
15/09/2009 12:00:00 AM
ULVERSTONE is steaming ahead to join the Tasmanian State League next year and is confident the current clubs will back its bid. The bid has been strengthened by Saturday's NTFL grand final victory. "As the reigning NTFL premier, we make a very attractive prospect for the TSL," Ulverstone president John Deacon said. Deacon said the club had been working hard to shore up support for its bid, which would require the approval of six of the 10 existing State League clubs. Former players helped celebrate the victory over the weekend, including several who now play with Devonport in the State League with former coach and statewide bid supporter Max Brown also in attendance.
Former player Sam Whish- Wilson, now with the Northern Bombers, is considering moving back to the Coast next year for work and said he would love to play at his old club in the TSL. "We have put together our strategic plan, a business plan and a financial plan and we've made presentations to more than half the clubs," he said. It is understood the Launceston clubs saw the DVD and heard the presentation last Tuesday and the southern clubs later in the week. Burnie has also seen the plans. Deacon said he was confident if a vote was taken tomorrow, Ulverstone would get the nod. No date has yet been set for TSL clubs to consider applications from new clubs. He said it was important to take the next step forward for the club and help the players play at the highest level.

Ian Wotherspoon NTFL President, said the matter is on the agenda for the NTFL AGM which is on Dec 4.He summised "The proposal wouldn't even be at 10% of becoming a goer". No doubt a lot of research,task force's,lists of pro's and Cons etc etc etc need to be made.Shane Walker ,President of Burnie said"We must give it due process" The Question will still remain what possible benefit will anybody derive from such a competition?Its BS and everyone knows it.We should be puting all our energies into making the NTFL and our town based clubs and competition bigger,better and stronger. Ian added in the paper Thursday that it probably would never happen. here here.

Question 44

The Rampant Robin rnd 2

Accepted Answer

THE RAMPANT ROBIN
Gee, what are those two wackers who run this website doing? Fancy asking me, The Rampant Robin to write a yarn each home game about the mighty Robins smashing all and sundry.
Well I will, and this here is my first effort and I don’t really care if you like it or not, they asked and as my other knickname of ``The Postman’’ says, I always deliver.
First up, I won’t disclose my real name, cause I don’t want any fanmail but anyway if you look closely and have half a brain, you might work out who I really am.
For a start I always hang around the bar before the main game and up at the Oak tree during the ones. And despite being a fair man and impartial, I have a bit to say about our great team and the hopeless opposition.
You might reckon you know me already and maybe you do, but I won’t give my secret away and those pullers who run the website better not either.
Well here we go and today started just the same as any other with me opening my eyes wondering where the hell am was.
Geez I was crook after a big night at the River Arms, the Lighthouse and then at the Forth Pub chasing some skirt. All that knocked me around for a while till some grub from the club canteen during the unders put me right.
As usual, I was impressed with the juniors and why wouldn’t I be, as I have had a fair bit to do with what runs out each week in all grades.
As well as a dead set footyhead, I am a bit of a ladies man and many a player has run out here in the red and black with the old Rampant Robin’s gene in his blood, if you catch my drift.
As the siren sounded to finish another great win for Barney Howard’s boys and for the start of the twos, I cracked my first Carlton Draught can and boy did it hit the spot.
Big Matty at full forward is my favourite in this time slot and I also have more than moderate admiration for the bloke ``Dentist’’ Brown calls ``The Birkenshire Pig’’ in the great Travis Birk. 
Birky and big Matty are a lot like me in many ways, and I reckon they must have modelled themselves on my gutsy style when I played the game a few years back. But I won’t talk too much about myself as I might give the game away when I start telling you how good I really was.
The boys as expected got the points despite Burnie havingb an undeserved shot after the siren and I too was hitting my straps with my 2nd, 3rd, 4th, , 5th and 6th cans going down easy.
A bloke from Burnie had obviously stopped in Penguin on the way and had a few heart starters and was chipping away at the boys during the senior warm-up. The stroker was saying Buzzard was too old, Hubble too skinny, Lukey ``Muffler’’ Marshall was a corner kicker and that Joe Pearson should concentrate on triathlons instead of the world’s greatest game. I told him Buzzard and Nugget were not even playing and I nearly had to put him to sleep, but he bought me a can so we now are best mates despite him having no idea about the game.
Well, as expected we were killing them from the first ball-up despite Brown playing them all out of position. Old Barney was having a field day calling on him and despite this - I was enjoying seeing the old enemy who had smashed everyone for years struggling to stay with us.
SOB (son of Barney) and SOL (son of Leigh) were missing but FEDC (former East Devonport champion) Justin Hayes was starring and SOBi (son of Bill), SOA (son of Ampol), SON (son of Nuts) , SOZ (son of Zumbuck) and SOC (son of Chatty) were going okay as well. Up here with me, SOP (son of Polly) and SOT (son of Tex), both injured, were into their sixth cans under the tree and offering plenty of encouragement for their fit teammates.
Former champion goal-kicker Trevor Brooks, Trevor Stephens and ex-defender Clayton Williams fresh from being flogged in the B grade coastal tennis grand final earlier in the day were creating some interest with their creative thoughts at the bar, while Andrew Van seemed to have a oversized megaphone implanted in his chest with his loud barracking.
Some clown from West Park tried to outshout Van and reckoned we had to win this year after buying all the new recruits in the off season. BOT (brother of Trevor) and COS (chairman of selectors) Craig Brooks threatened to put him straight, straight to sleep that is and that shut the him and other yafflers from the world’s windiest footy ground right up.
A few more beers then onto the Black Deaths (Jim Beams) to wash down Ronny Ansells healthy burgers after half time, and I was just like the Robins, flying.
We were home and I was well on my way once again.
As a Robin fan, I was treated like royalty under the tree from most and I even got a phone number from a growler as well. Well as you would expect from a noted ``pants man’’ , that worked out rather nicely for all concerned later that night after another big session at the clubrooms.
So there we have it, my first write up and there will be another after our next home game and four points against the Cats in round four.
By the way here are my votes for the game.
3: Banham
2: Crawf.
1: Frodo, Timmy Mee and Hamish Anderson.

Question 46

NTFL will be left in tatters

Accepted Answer

[BB] NTFL BY CHLOE HOPE
15/09/2009 12:00:00 AM
THE Robins want to fly the NTFL coop, but AFL Tasmania has the power to clip their wings. NTFL president Andrew Richardson said the departure of Ulverstone - leaving five NTFL clubs - could spell the end of the competition. The NTFL may be forced to rely on AFL Tasmania to save it. Something could be known as soon as Friday when the 10 clubs meet with AFL Tasmania and a decision could be made. Richardson said it would be a "disaster" if the Robins left the league next year, without an alternative team in place. Ulverstone is keen to exit the North-West competition and enter the state league in 2010, and is confident it can get the support of the current 10 clubs. But AFL Tas general manager Scott Wade said he was "very conscious" of the NTFL's situation and AFL Tasmania would have to sign off on any extra clubs joining the league. "According to their licence agreements, clubs have a simple majority vote to agree on expansion of the competition, and AFL Tas may consider such a team," Wade said.
"AFL Tas has been very clear in terms of what's already in our business plan, but we are very conscious of the NTFL's situation," he said. "There is no desire from AFL Tas to just blatantly destroy the NTFL." Richardson was convinced that would be the outcome if the Robins went to the TSL for next season. "There is a chance we wouldn't go ahead - the five clubs could go to the wall," he said. The worst thing for Richardson was the instability at the moment with no answers yet. "It really is a very sad situation if Ulverstone was prepared to abandon the other five clubs," he said. Wade said the focus for AFL Tasmania was helping the NTFL to find a team to represent the Burnie area. Once the TSL season ends on Saturday, Wade said things would begin to happen on that front.
