How good is our beautiful game when we get to play in the mud it’s good for the game seeing teams having to adjust to the conditions I’d take mud over the plastic crap pitches anyday of the week
riverside keeper was unbelievable.
Huge respect to him, south's finishing helped him out at times but a mammoth performance nonetheless.
Thought south were better with formation change morton & higgins as 8/10's with lakoseljac out wide and divin up top.
Walter thoughts on the game?
Football Tasmania Awards night strange results indeed .
I agree - the keeper played well. They didn't have a shot that I can remember in the whole game but did a great defensive job on South. Nice to see a bit of mud also.
Thanks for your insightful thoughts on the game again this year Walter. See you next year!.
Totally agree the results Saturday Night were out there .
Let’s face it, Coach of the Year,MVP and the Rising Star Awards should be re - titled Most Popular/Liked Coach, player Rising Star, etc, because that’s the premise under which they are selected. Devonport Players and Coaches punished for being far too successful over the last 7 years
Any in particular

#coach
Cough cough
4.08pm. Sounds very spiteful to say the players etc who were given awards were only given them because of popularity. How do you think some of these players who have put their heart & soul into the game and have won awards must feel reading your comment? And how are the Devonport players & coaches being punished? A coach doesn’t necessarily need to be from the team who won the NPL title to be given coach of the year and the MVP comes from votes. Are you suggesting these awards should have been given to Devonport? By the way Best & Fairest was missing of your statement. I will say—- To the young lad who won Rising Star, Kudos to you! You won this award and deserve it. To MVP award, well done! To coach of the year, Well done! To Best & Fairest, Well done. And to all the other award winners, congrats to you all on a great season. Please ignore the jealous peanut who tried to suggest otherwise!
Coach of the year voted by opposition coaches.
Ask them why they voted for who they voted for. Not a popularity vote at all.
Was a strange result however.Having said that Devonport have been the best side
and have had the best squad for a few years.
I reckon I could have coached them to the title.
Knights dropped off the pace terribly.
Kingborough didn’t really improve their ladder position by much but how can you vote
for their numerous coaches?
Doesn’t leave many other options.
No disrespect intended to lcfc coach but the coach of the year has to be the coach who p21 w19 l1 d1 and won both the league and cup
Part of coaching is to bring in the best players.so to say I could coach them to the title is wrong because you couldn’t bring in the best players
The Awards have become a laughing stock and need to be done differently .
To 7.58am comment. If you are suggesting coach of year should be the coach of the team who won both the league and cup, what happened last year? It was Ken Morton who won! In your eyes if this is the case it should have been James Sherman last year.
10.02ken Morton winning last year was the wrong choice.yes it should have been Sherman who won the league or gallow from Devonport who came 2nd in the league and won the cup.all coaches seem to be judge on winning so if this is the case then the coach who wins has to be coach of the year.
If the coach of the year is selected by the other coaches on a voting basis then the other coaches are being disrespectable to the winner and to the game .I know this is a big statement but I believe it to be correct
Yes coaches vote on coach of the year. How can anyone suggest that the voting needs to be changed ? It is an award voted on by peers. Coaches are human just like players so some may dislike other coaches for a variety of reasons , just as many players dislike better players at other clubs so they don't vote for them. Tall Poppy Syndrome comes to mind. Many players who don't know or understand what it takes to be a successful team will always have that opinion about others who are successful.
Maybe Tall Poppy Syndrome may have something to do with any of the coaches of the top teams not winning.
Anon 7.58am and 11.46am - You haven't mentioned Devonport's WSL Coach Malcolm Gorrie. He won best coach but Devonport didn't win the league. So why don't you question that one?
1:19pmcoaches are human i agree.they are voting on a important award so have to distance themselves from their personal feelings and vote only on performance.it may help if there was more transparency .say publish which coaches voted for which coach
Anon 3.26pm. Correct. But they don’t distance themselves.
That’s my point
If they can’t distance the self’s from their personal feelings then they shouldn’t be allowed to vote.so another more honest way of selecting the coach of the year has to be found.to end up with a coach of the year who finished 5th and had game where he lost 10to0 can’t be right.
There wasnt this much fuss last year
5.29am - you are only showing your own lack of understanding by continuing to question the result. It has been spoken about by different commentators and multiple times throughout the season about the results Lino achieved with his squad - some of the away results they achieved against those higher on the ladder are examples of this. One game doesn’t make a season and the fact that you can’t even quote the correct score line probably shows you wouldn’t have looked close enough to realise the squad that played that day was different to other weeks and performed below their normal standards - perhaps there was a reason for that…. . Those coaches that voted for the award probably do have a far greater understanding of this though and I would suggest appreciate that whilst sport is results driven, it is far more than results that makes someone “Coach of the Year”.
I have the right to question anything!12:29.if the coaches who voted have any understanding they would be aware of the ability need by a coach to prepare a team to win a league and cup double.winning games against the odds every now and again is a lot easier than winning a 21 game season.results are the thing that coaches are judged on.it goes then that Devonport coach is coach of the year!!!!!!
