Brad Davies? Apparently found out they were talking to other people about coaching so he walked out.

Fair enough too, they are a long way back now if they are trying to find a coach now surely

If they couldn't get players back last year for the big 100th year then I can't really see much changing this year, seems very grim up there unfortunately.

High time that club was absorbed into or taken over by the junior club if it continues that way.
Probably the only chance of a Claremont team remaining a viable proposition and playing footy, sadly.
How's that gonna work exactly? A junior club taking over a senior club and filling sides easier...how?
Not to overlook the fact Glenorchy snap up the better CJFC kids as it is.
Well the kids would surely want to play at the best level possible to test themselves. Was TSL, now it’s Premier league.
It’s the fact they don’t go back. You hear bad things about what happens up there off the field. Maybe that’s why.
My comment was in relation to the earlier comment saying CJFC should take over CFC - that post implied all the players would stay on board in such a situation, I was posting that it was most unlikely to happen.
I think you and I may’ve discussed this previously on here - Glenorchy pounce on Claremont Juniors at approx the 15 year old mark as for many years they’ve had none of their own juniors coming through.
Hard to blame Glenorchy for this approach - the alternative is folding, which they came horribly close to the other year.

Anything to report on the state of the community league u18s as yet?
I've heard Huonville could go from 2 in a row to not having a team, Hobart are having a good crack at a team as are lindesfarne.
Anyone confirm, deny or add to this topic.
Also been chat of u18s combining if community u18s don't get enough teams, anyone else heard this?

Well I don’t see how that would work for premier clubs and their rosters. This is more reason that Cygnet should have gone to premier league.
Can’t see how under 16s Kingborough players who double up for storm 18s ( this happens alot) would then play against Kingborough 18s.
I reckon they get a 3-4 team comp.
Storm
Huonville
Lindisfarne
Sorell
Not sure it will matter with rosters as I would imagine the premier women's comp would take the 3rd time slot on a Saturday and push u18s to Friday nights and Sundays.
Not many of the kingborough u16s played with storm last year. A couple u18s but only when roster allowed it. There were u16s from Channel-Storm doubling up.
I hope it can be a minute 4 team comp. I think it's going to take a fair bit of work to get though.
I would hope between Claremont and New Norfolk that they could get a team. They have done it in the junior age groups u15s and u16s.

Apparently Hobart will have a thirds side, heard that from one of their players the other day.
Diabolical decision to play Brighton against Clarence, Kingborough, North Hobart etc after near finishing bottom in Division 2 in ‘24!
A number of women’s players including their 2024 coach have moved to Clarence and U18 girls numbers are poor as well according to a Brighton source. An Urgent Meeting has been advertised on Brighton’s Facebook page for Women’s and U18 Girls players.

So I assume Brighton men’s will now be served a notice they have breached the rules set out by AFLTAS as they haven’t got a women’s program?
This is the issue in the NTFA also. Attaching women’s comp to the men’s. Either get tough with the girls and deny them being able to switch or just play the best teams against each other.
If it’s an issue around resources, why not make the women’s a Friday night comp? Or start them and finish them early?

I had heard that they wanted to rotate the 2pm game between the men’s and the women’s seniors, not 100% sure how true this is but what I was told

Will be interesting to see how they go for numbers in the men’s side of things too - while there’s no stars among them, they’ve lost a lot of players to Oatlands which will not make fielding three men’s teams any easier.

Glenorchy play Brighton more than everyone else. Surely there could’ve been a better solution than having a premiership contender play the most likely wooden spooners. Will be interesting if this affects results at the end of the year

Basically been gifted a 4 point head start on everyone else the Pies.
The only solution is a 15 game season or a 20 game season. SFL doesn't rate more than 16 games per year unfortunately. The more footy the better I reckon
There were countless battles with them back in the day, over rosters.
I am pretty sure I posted on here, after the Premier/Regional Merger, that a roster was handed out that had some teams playing 16 games, and others 17.
Astonishing amount of league byes. Fun times for any bloke not in the state squad
League Byes galore for the State games it seems - byes due to the 20 odd guys and girls in each Tassie side but too bad for the other 100 odd that have to miss something like four games in six weeks or whatever it is.
