Not going to bag Kingbrough but give my opinion

Hess must step down or stop playing, you cannot do both at this level

Kingbrough are old and slow

New keeper should be going home if hes an import as he cost them atleast 2 goals

The new Kingborough GK is clearly not at NPL standard. Surely he isn't an import?

Knights now playing the best football of their season! It’s amazing (and not at all surprising) what playing without pressure can do for a team!

He is there best player without kobe

I thought the new keeper was solid. It may take him time to adjust to Tasmanian conditions and the Kingborough system . If he can work on his fitness, speed and agility, he will continue to improve.

Work on fitness, speed and agility half way through the season?

They have had three other keepers already but decided to import a new one and put him in straight away.

You'd like to think the time, effort and money spent on any player they are match fit and ready to go.

Maybe Hess should just go between the sticks as well

Why is riversides coach suspended and for how long?

The new Lions GK is an import, but was signed before anyone had even seen him. The Lions have really dug themselves a hole here, with an unfit, and untrained import keeper in their worst season for 6 years. The problem with the Lions is that they don't have NPL level players, many are at best champ players.

Hess should play; not up to coaching at this level yet.
