Undisciplined play saw the Roos downed by 13 points. Clarence suffered the late withdrawal of paceman Jarrod Read and back man David Donato before the game, and seemed rattled from the first bounce. The Bombers dominated the midfield with Brendon Bolton and Chris Jones running amok, but the one player who posed the greatest problem was Brad Cottam who proved the difference for the Bombers. Matthew Jones was a great force for the Roos gathering a mighty 40 possessions along with young forward Cameron Thurley and veteran Trent Nichols who both tried their hearts out but to no avail. Roo Rookie Charles Beaumont was all over the Bomber Ruckman Andrew McLean for the first half of the game but he got his revenge in the second half by making a great comeback. The Bombers ball skills were superior to the Roos and it proved costly. Clarence will face the Demons next week... and the Northern Bombers will come up against last years Premiers Glenorchy. **************************************************************************** TEAMS DEVONPORT Backs: Phillpott, Richardson, Duggan Half Backs: Masters, Fagan, Allen Centre: Woodcock, Lowe, Haley Half Forwards: S.Astell, Scolyer, Holland Forwards: Bowman, Taylor, Wilkinson Followers: Langmaid, Johnston, Flannery Interchange: Simmons, A.Smith, Abbott IN: S.Atell - returning after collarbone injury Holland - Tassie Mariner OUT: Cook - omitted Clements - injured GLENORCHY Backs: Fooks, P.Ryan, McGee Half Backs: Kaye, Foale, T.Stevenson Centre: Glenn, S.Stevenson, Ball Half Forward: Longman, Kamaric, Green Forward: Cornish, Curran, C.Ryan Followers: Carter, Atkin, Careless Interchange: Britten, Free, Reid IN: S.Stevenson - returning after injury Kaye - returning after a broken finger Free Ball OUT: N.Green - injured Rogers - injured Chandler - unavailable Hepburn - omitted **************************************************************************** RESULTS GLENORCHY 13.20.98 defeated DEVONPORT 5.11.41 BEST GLENORCHY: Britten, Atkin, Carter, Curran, T.Stevenson DEVONPORT: Holland, Scolyer, Phillpott, Flannery, Richardson GOALS GLENORCHY: P.Ryan 4, Longman 3, Free 2, Atkin, T.Stevenson, S.Stevenson, McGee DEVONPORT: Johnson, Richardson, Duggan, Holland, Wilkinson INJURIES GLENORCHY: Careless - knee injury DEVONPORT: Johnston - ankle injury Allan - thumb injury REPORTS nil ROUND UP INJURY CLOUD SOURS GLENORCHY WIN The Glenorchy Magpies may have paid the ultimate price during their 57 win against the Devonport Power. Dangerous midfielder Ben Careless left the field on a stretcher during the second quarter with what is thought to be a knee injury which may see him sidelined for the rest of the season. The Power didn't really get close to the Magpies, the Pies did not help themselves, again kicking inaccurately, they booted 20 points this week. The Power came out with a lot of enthusiasm and led into the first break, but from there on it was all one way traffic. Jason Britten was again best on ground, causing big problems for his opponents having a day out in the midfield. Ben Atkin was Brittens right hand man and they proved the combination that won the game for the Magpies. Josh Holland was outstanding for the Power, his efforts to get the ball, showing that they were still hungry for a win. Scolyer and Phillpott also tried their hearts out for the Power but to no avail. Next week the Power will have a bye and Glenorchy will face the undefeated Northern Bombers **************************************************************************** TEAMS HOBART DEMONS Backs: Veitch, Splann, Bailey Half Backs: Cox, M.Brereton, J.Brereton Centre: Ackerley, James, Bracken Half Forward: Hall, Jurd, Hawkins Forward: Woods, Robinson, Devine Followers: Best, Williams, Scott Interchange: Hill, Hutt, Boucher IN: Boucher Bracken Hutt OUT: Bone - leg injury Trevena - hamstring injury Stevanovich - omitted BURNIE DOCKERS Backs: Brown, Dell, Hoare Half Backs: Nash, Wooldridge, Wright Centre: Heath, Butler, Coulson Half Forward: Gounas, M.Bourn, Williams Forwards: Porter, Davis, Rist Followers: Barnes, Bester, E.Bourn Interchange: Harnett, Shackleton, Pilkington IN: Pilkington OUT: Jones - omitted **************************************************************************** RESULTS HOBART DEMONS 20.12.132 defeated BURNIE DOCKERS 13.6.84 BEST HOBART DEMONS: Hall, James, Ackerley, Best, Bracken, Devine, Splann, Woods, J.Brereton BURNIE DOCKERS: E.Bourn, Harnett, Dell, Bester, Barnes GOALS HOBART DEMONS: Devine 6, Bracken 4, Hill 2, J.Brereton 2, Hawkins 2, Scott, Williams, James, Ackerley BURNIE DOCKERS: Harnett 2, E.Bourn 2, Rist 2, Coulson 2, Davis 2, Williams, Porter INJURIES: nil REPORTS: nil ROUND UP FANTASTIC TEAM EFFORT SINKS DOCKERS The Hobart Demons showed they are certainly serious finals contenders this week when they downed a strong Burnie Dockers outfit in a 48 point victory this week. The Demons received 100% from each and every one of the players on the ground, their marking, and usage of the ball made sure they ran out winners. Ken Hall proved best on ground with a day out on the half back line, the continual driving force for the Demons, forcing them into the forward line on every occasion. It was hard to pick out individual players as stars when it was such as even team effort but as usual Jeremy Brereton made his prescience felt, and is growing in stature each week and becoming a feared opponent to opposition teams. Brock Ackerley who was playing for the D's while on a break from the Tassie Mariners proved a great choice, his drive through the midfield and ground level work was second to none. Tom James was fantastic in tagging the Dockers danger man Graham Wright, and Garry Splann played a game as if his place in the side was on the line. For the Dockers Errol Bourn was their only 4 quarter contributor and proved a problem throughout the midfield and forward line all day. Brad Davis was well beaten by the Demons Andrew Best. Harnett, Dell and Bester were also playing well around the ground but were not consistent enough to prove to much of a problem for their opponents. Next Week the Demons will take on Clarence at Bellerive while the Dockers will have a bye. **************************************************************************** NEXT WEEK: CLARENCE v HOBART DEMONS (Bellerive) NORTHERN BOMBERS v GLENORCHY (York Park) BURNIE & DEVONPORT (both have a bye) **************************************************************************** LADDER NORTHERN BOMBERS 24 CLARENCE 20 BURNIE 16 GLENORCHY 12 HOBART DEMONS 12 DEVONPORT 0 **************************************************************************** LEADING GOAL KICKERS ALLEN (Clarence) 27 DEVINE (Demons) 17 WILLIAMS (Dockers) 14 CHUGG (Bombers) 14 C.RYAN (Glenorchy) 13 AHERNE (Bombers) 13 TAYLOR (Bombers) 12 HARNETT (Dockers) 12 COTTAM (Bombers) 12 ATKINS (Glenorchy) 11 J.WESTBURY (Clarence) 10 KAMARIC (Glenorchy) 10 WOODS (Demons) 9 **************************************************************************** Under 21's BURNIE DOCKERS 17.11.113 defeated HOBART DEMONS 5.9.39 DEVONPORT POWER 9.6.60 defeated GLENORCHY 8.10.58 NORTHERN BOMBERS 14.12.96 defeated CLARENCE 7.11.53 LADDER: NORTHERN BOMBERS 28 CLARENCE 20 BURNIE DOCKERS 12 GLENORCHY 12 HOBART DEMONS 8 DEVONPORT 4 **************************************************************************** Under 18's CLARENCE (B) 10.12.72 defeated NORTHERN BOMBERS (B) 3.6.24 CLARENCE (A) 14.8.92 defeated NORTHERN BOMBERS (A) 4.7.31 GLENORCHY (A) 8.10.58 defeated DEVONPORT (A) 4.2.26 HOBART DEMONS (A) 9.9.63 defeated BURNIE DOCKERS (A) 4.11.35 HOBART DEMONS (B) 12.10.82 defeated BURNIE DOCKERS (B) 6.10.46 **************************************************************************** TAC CUP BENDIGO 17.16.118 defeated TASSIE MARINERS 8.12.60 **************************************************************************** OTHER LEAGUE RESULTS SFL HUONVILLE LIONS 15.6.96 defeated CLAREMONT 6.13.49 CHANNEL 11.14.80 defeated LINDISFARNE 9.3.57 HOBART 20.16.136 defeated KERMANDIE 12.6.78 SORELL 14.15.99 defeated LAUDERDALE 13.5.83 BRIGHTON 12.12.84 defeated KINGSTON 7.9.51 NEW NORFOLK 19.9.123 defeated CYGNET 4.5.29 PENINSULA EAGLEHAWK NECK 8.20.68 defeated NUBEENA 5.6.36 PORT ARTHUR 18.17.125 defeated PREMAYDENA 8.11.59 OLD SCHOLARS HUTCHINS 13.16.94 defeated ST VIRGIL'S 9.9.63 DOSA 16.10.106 defeated UNIVERSITY 14.7.91 FRIENDS 14.16.100 defeated OHA 12.20.92 ODFA MT PLEASANT 13.12.90 defeated WOODSDALE 12.9.81 KEMPTON 33.19.217 defeated TUNNACK 1.0.6 OATLANDS 11.8.74 defeated BOTHWELL 8.4.52 TASMAN SWANSEA 49.31.325 defeated CAMBRIDGE 0.4.4 TRIABUNNA 12.17.89 defeated DODGES FERRY 11.10.76 NTFL LATROBE 18.8.116 defeated LAUNCESTON 8.6.54 WYNYARD 9.6.60 defeated EAST DEVONPORT 7.7.49 ULVERSTONE 15.12.102 defeated SOUTH LAUNCESTON 9.16.70 SMITHTON 27.12.174 defeated PENGUIN 12.8.80 **************************************************************************** FINAL SIREN Till next Week, get out there and support your club and the league, lets get some butts on seats this year and let the doubters know, that Tasmanian Football is still alive!!! **************************************************************************** |
