Partisans in media blitz!

Last week we saw a stern faced Kerryl (is there any other?) in the Mercury staring down those "unions"!

Tonight Phabulous makes a long awaited return to our TV screens - who can forget the 2002 election night coverage?  He looked like a veteran protester.

Hollywood also featured this morning in the Mercury.

Who can be next?

Perhaps Snooker on the front page of the SMH at the WYD!

BFN

Hope and Anchor

It is  a real pity that this lovely old Hobart institution is "boarded up".  I didn't ever go there much but the Sunday Roasts were a treat and it was a good place on the way home for a quiet cleanser.

Occasionally there was even Jazz.

Where is our budding publican who can turn it back into a winner?

Coach Atkinson a brilliant Engineer

Pre-game there was much talk about engineering, fishing, tangles, nets and velcro.  This was another brilliant focusing strategy - Taroona focused on the net and found it three times - a trademark Liam snap and two from Mr Wisby - one a brilliant header that found the tangled hair and then the untangled net. 

Guus Atkinson cast the net far and wide today and caught two schools at once. 

Beachside failed to score despite Mr Jamison's Carlton scarf.

Of some interest pre-game was the Club Secretary's warning to the longest haired player on the team that he must Headband it or get it cut.  My cheque will be in the mail soon Sir!

Taroona in shock loss! Board "right behind" Coach

In a shock at the Showgrounds Taroona scored two brilliant Ben Wisby goals - the latter being a deft, slow motion tap that flummoxed the goalie.

However, the Tilford Zebras scored 5 to take the three points.

In a prepared statement after the game, an anonymous Board spokesperson stressed that the Board are "right behind" Coach Jeff "Guus" Atkinson.

Next week - Beachside!!

Polak down.

Unfortunatly, Mr Polak was hit by a tram in Melbourne last night after a game for Coach's mighty Tigers.. In a 'critical but stable condition' so he has a fighting change, a sad event. Jokes about playing for Richmond will not follow until it becomes clear that he will recover.

PS nice to see some videos of the soccer in there I hadn't seen them!

Guus speaks post match

Allowed into the rooms for the first time your humble reporter captured this post-match address. Clearly a guided democracy works...32 goals in 5 weeks says it does.

This man should coach the Soceroos...

Attempt at goal

Spectacular if not successful...
