One of biggest games of season and the best referee is doing a Champ game. !!

A team finally takes it to South and they looked shaky. Lucky to come away with a point. Thought Devonport had a good penalty shout in the half too

Anonymous said...

The Devonport coach also said Nick Morton should have got a penalty as well.

interesting first goal in the south v dev game

Magnificent refereeing at D’Arcy Street yesterday.

From the challenge in the second half? Tough so see from the stream but it looked like a good challenge

Anonymous said...

Embarrassing. South Melbourne would be worried

Anonymous said...

O’Connell straight back in

Whose the best ref?

Anonymous said...

So other teams haven’t taken it SH this season … if you mean just smashing the ball forward for 90 minutes yeah but riverside did that last week too and went close Boro, have also given them great games, lonnie city drew with them there too, very one eyed comment.

So much sarcasm

Anonymous said...

Good sarcasm, refereeing standard continues to drop. FT need to put more money and support into them and bring someone in with experience to train and develop further as head of refereeing.

Not at valley road yesterday where every shout is pointed to the spot.

Anonymous said...

Spot on. Refereeing has gone way downhill since Tony left. And We need the best referees doing the biggest games. Darcy Street on Saturday is a prime sample of why.

South continuing to rest and focus on the Australia Cup game, good on them

All those games South didn’t look like losing, they did on Saturday and Devonport deserved the point. I am not a Devonport support just a football spectator. I would suggest south generally knock it long a lot of the time also going very direct out wide and get numbers forward quickly. Very little build up play into the final third. Devonport did similar on Saturday however maintained more control in the final third and locked to work the ball into the box. They had South camped on their defensive 18 yard box for extended periods on the second half

The GK stocks are low. It's cost the Port this year...

I disagree we've had better games from two other sides that don't include Devonport, Dev were direct and with all their bigger bodies still couldn't get a win, 9 points behind and finished below us last season, I didn't see any more than two passes before the ball was launched into the 18 yard box from Port yesterday so sustaining attacks and being camped is a awful take, At least we bring variation to our play.

Anonymous said...

Look how many players South rested, I don’t think they’re too concerned - probably happy to get through to Wednesday unscathed

Variation of play is an awful take. There is never any variation. South were gifted a point by two goal keeping howler, didn’t deserve anything out of the game. Big bodies is what Devonport have, they lack any pace out wide. They played the ball around the 18 yard box of south several times and came unstuck with the numbers around the box causing congestion. They were much better than South who showed little going forward with out Walter

Anonymous said...

Who were they?

Anonymous said...

Rested who exactly ? Walter who’s injured from last week and arguably Eli is better than Toby, so wouldn’t really say he rested anyone.

Anonymous said...

That’s a crazy bad take, south seem to struggle when teams go in behind them with direct play for what I saw on the stream the pitch and conditions didn’t exactly scream let’s play pretty football?

Anonymous said...

The first South Hobart goal can be put down to inept goalkeeping. Nothing more and nothing less. Berezansky’s effort was cheeky and opportunistic and credit to him for trying the shot, but it should never have been a goal. The keeper saw it coming and any keeper worth his salt would have saved it easily.

Didn’t say anything about Devonport getting in behind South, that is the last thing Devonport are capable of because of the lack of pace they have. Direct doesn’t mean in behind every time. Most teams would struggle when they allow teams to get in behind them, to think otherwise is a crazy bad take

Anonymous said...

Who is the port keeper? A local or import?

Anonymous said...

Anon 2.19pm. Agree 100%.

Regardless of your opinion there is a 9 point gap which probably tells you all you need to know.

Yeh they didn't drop 20k per year on a goal keeper like they did with smith

Anonymous said...

Agreed but Launceston city are on fire and they are coming!

Anonymous said...

Total Agree whoever the commentator was knows little about football .

A Goalkeepers nightmare not goal of the year .

Anonymous said...

He's a kid so lets not rubbish him too much. Saying that the whole weekends highlights package is a GK fiasco reel

Anonymous said...

And the same big coin on a striker. There culture is still to spend big at the expense of locals. It’s just that there imports are not as good this year. That’s the difference

Anonymous said...

Really missing Hunt and Cooling the current crop have know football experience at all .

Football Tasmania need to lift their game big time .

Anonymous said...

It wasn’t even a shot, it was an over hit, very poor, long ball.
To call it goal of the year is ridiculous, total fluke.

Anonymous said...

Totally agree a complete lack of understanding of the game by the commentator .

Anonymous said...

Don't really get the whole shitting on the commentator vibe.... it's alot better than listening to silence whether you agree or disagree with what he says. Cooling and Hunt been in the game for years Tanner's second year, probably isnt goal of the year, but any commentator or supporter seeing a goal from your own half is going to get a bit of hype. Besides if you're gonna slate the guy at least get the words right (know/no).....

Anonymous said...

The first Kingborough goal was a back pass by a Clarence defender to his goal keeper which he failed to stop. That looked more of a stuff-up than the Souths goal !.

Anonymous said...

Actually if the guy doesn’t promote himself so much maybe people would have more understanding.

This is fast becoming a South Hobart Blog were if you say anything involving their players it’s taboo .

Seriously it’s not goal of the year not even close .

Swaby’s goal this round was goal of the week for sure.

All you need to know is South are an average team in the weakest league we have seen in the last 10 years. Any of the teams who won the title in the last 10 season would beat this South team comfortably and the league.

Anonymous said...

If you have stats to back that fact you would have some kind of credibility,

They only lost 2-1 to SM a heavyweight of Australian football and controlled the first half, Use of some facts then you may have some credibility to what you are stating rather than a throw away comment,

Last year SH finished equal points with one of the best NPL sides the league seen in a while too.

Anonymous said...

2:46pm

Yes and they finished second, don’t get a trophy for that.
Anyone with any decent football sense could identify the league is much weaker this season compared to many prior, that is a fact, no stats required

Anonymous said...

The stats suggest otherwise hence your reply, past player are we ? Still living on past endeavours..more pros in the league than ever closer to second tier than ever before and more qualified coaches too, league will go to 10 teams next year too.

All great signs of progression champ
