What’s the deal with Dale Itchins having a secret meeting at Hobart Airport with former supremos David Smith and Neil Connell ?

I just happenened to be flying back from interstate and look what i find !!

Could this be the making of the new directors of the TIS program ?
Could this be the making of the interest in the V league??

Mmmmmm I wonder ?

Tonight at 6.30pm the Glenorchy Knights will be playing a practice match against new-commers to the league, Taroona FC. The Glenorchy Knights will be a rude awakenning to the under-staffed Taroona who will soon realise the different in quality between Division One and the Premier League. Returned signing for the Knights Jonothan Ladic will be organising the Knights outfit from the center of the park, with the electrifying pace on the flanks of Jade Clay and Shay Hickey. New Knights signing Nick Harrisson will be asserting his gargantuon frame up front, and is a certainty 2 open his scoring account for the reigning premiers.
R.I.P taroona FC.

Sanita is rumoured to be remaining in Tasmania for another season. Needless to say this made the likes of Knights, Zebras & Clarence sit up and take notice. It seems though that Sanita may very well have signed for Sunshine Georgies but been loaned back to Kingborough. So save the phone call Eamon, Browny, Nick & Co.!!

Ladic (Knights) has signed and will play for Georgies in 2007 while Nathan Pitchford is also believed to have trialed with Georgies. The result of this trial is unknown. Someone might like to drop me a line.

Zebras should definetely improve after finishing 7th, especially with return of Brett and possibly Aaron Brazendale from season start. Struggle to see Fagg making a big impact, definetely not to extent of the other two. Seems he will just be an average player at senior level and not one that will dominate games.
Zebras conceded goals galore last season,way more than the rest minus Metro and Hobart Utd, if they can shore up their backline then they could be the big movers.
Most clubs have promising youngsters, most of the promising kids at that age are already playing senior soccer and not under 19seg Gorene Jozelic, Marchioli,Pitchford, Kaden etc. Zebras seem to have quite a few at reserve level but not many at all in the senior team, going by last year that is.
Having said that, look out for Dan Djekanovic and Jamie Walker at Olympic in Premier league 2007, dominated the 19s league in 06.

Henry Fagg will be playing for the Zebras as he played in the tournament held at Cosgrove High School on the 25th of November. Nick Lapolla chose and was incharge of a team of 14 aged between 16-24 to compete so i’d say he has the senior job wrapped up. Zebras fielded practically their 19’s team with Ricky Self, Daniel Lapolla and Henry Fagg the exceptions. They lost in penalties to Hobart Olympic who looked to have an almost full strength senior side. Zebras looking promising.

Alan, there are plenty of good quality players getting around, especially some of the youngsters. Beecroft, Roach, Sanita, Walsh all polled extremely well in the Vic Tuting as did Laird & Huigisloot from Knights & White (Kingborough) & Rapley (Uni). In fact Roach has just won that award for the second year in a row and he’s still U20.

Maybe you aren’t at the right games.

righto. Fistly I shouldn’t have told my father about this site, I have three of my own and that’s enough said. Clarify 2004, Simo was the captain and Tex won the clubs best and fairest, but besides that you were close father. I actually played six or so games in 2005 with launceston City and I’d like to think helped them win the title that year(always nice to beat devenport). Also as i stated earlier I dont mind critism actually I enjoy it all people are entitled their opinions.

Being closer than most to Zebras and Brett over the recent years in Soccer, I would like to add the following to the argument regarding Brett’s commitment and his place in recent Zebra’s football history.
2004 was Brett’s last full year of playing at the highest level in Tas, and his achievements were:
Club Captain, member Premier League Champions 2004, runner up in club goal scorers, players player of year and best and fairest, not bad for one who supposedly can only give some 25% of his potential weekly afterhours time to Football - Oh! and I almost Brett also won the 2004 Vic Tuting Medal (for the third time!). Not bad for someone without commitment ? Thank God he can’t give a full 100% - what else could he achieve?
To all the critics - be like me and just be pleased that Brett’s presence in Zebras 2007 team, will surely add to the pleasure we all get from watching quality players go around. Something that the game may have lacked in recent seasons ?
