Tasmania Devils

2:00 PM ANZAC Day at Bellerive Talk in the local media is whether the G Train (a.k.a. Fraser Gehrig) will line up for Casey against the Devils. A few people would turn up just to see him play which is ok but I don’t see a player the Devils can play on him because we don’t really have any big gorillas. Besides the G Train I don’t see any of Casey St Kilda contingent being much hassle. The key I think is if the Devils can find a regular source of goals. Thoughts ?

Great win for the Devils. There first since round 17 2006. Who needs those Kangaroos? They have seemed to have found some promising players (particularly Bongetti, Charlesworth, Hardy and Cornelius) and some of the older players have steeped up like Thurley, Shackleton. They also seemed to apply more pressure to there opponents, attack the ball more and pride. Attendances was about 2500 which was ok and I’m shore more people will turn up if we continue to play like this. This season looks like it’s going to be better than last and Cresswell can keep his job for another week.

Since returning to being a stand-alone side, how has the level of support been? Has Newspaper coverage changed at all? Are you expecting crowd numbers to increase close to the 10,000 mark that they got to prior to the alignment?

There was a fire in the Northern Stand at Aurora Stadium early yesterday. It destroyed 3 of the 8 bays of the stand plus the umpires room. There is an AFL Game there in 2 weeks the umpires will be moved to different room and the game will go ahead as planned. The Devils don't play in Launceston until May 17. Here is the link to the story from the Mercury http://www.news.com.au/mercury/story/0,22884,23458310-13222,00.html

Gibbke will be heartened - Scott Stephens (last years co captain) is playing local footy in Launy and not for the Devils this year!

Devils key forward and leading goal kicker Adam Derbyshire has announced he will not be able to play for the Devils due to new work commitments. Derbyshire will instead will play for NTFL club Launceston. Also coach Darren Creswell denied rumours ex Geelong player Paul Koulouriotis has been sacked stating he is still contracted player …. Is the Devil's season fallling apart (again) all readey?

Anyone know what sort of players the Plummer brothers are - played with Bendige - have been recruited by Tassie :?:

Read yesterday that Tim Mohr (think that is how you spell his name) is going to Casey this year. He played 7 games for the Devils last year - Key Position Player with potential. Apparently he was close to getting drafted by the Saints and is going over to enhance his chances.

Watching the news tonight and the Devils have announced preseason matches against Sydney and Collingwood reserves teams and Werribee. They also announced more signings than they already announced but there was to many for me to remember. Any know?

Devils midfielder ken Hall has walked out on the club, sighting family and work commitments. The former Essendon listed player who finished third in the Devils best and fairest is expected to play SFL regional league with Sorell, having turned down offers with premier league clubs North Hobart and Lauderdale. His decision to leave did not go down well with Devils coach Darren Creswell who refused to answer calls from local media. Hall played 134 VFL games A major blow to the Devils hopes of climbing the ladder
