VIEW FROM HERE | A week is a long time in football.... The catch cry of a “week is a long time in football” is certainly relevant to the State League competition at the moment and will continue to be as the home and away season draws closer to an end. Last week’s results meant there were some positional changes to the ladder, including the following: • Clarence who were sitting 2nd only a game clear now find themselves 2 games clear of the 3rd placed team and have now made it difficult to be dislodged from 2nd spot. • Burnie who were sitting 3rd prior to last weekend are now sitting 4th after their loss. • Glenorchy who were sitting 4th prior to last week are now sitting 3rd. • North Launceston prior to last weekend were sitting 5th on the ladder by percentage have now gone a game clear inside the 5. • North Hobart who was sitting 6th just outside the five on percentage is now a game outside of the five and in 7th spot. • Lauderdale who were 2 games outside the five in 7th position prior to last weekend now find themselves in 6th and only one game outside the five. This weekend’s schedule of matches provides a number of contests that could see the results go either way which may change where clubs are positioned come Monday. The other thing that occurred this week was North Hobart’s Head Coach, Clinton Brown, tendered his resignation to the Club; Clinton was the last remaining playing-coach in the State league competition. Clinton’s comments in the media included “I just think at the moment being a playing-coach is too tough at this level” and “you need to have your eyes in the box all the time to see what is going on and at the moment doing it on the ground is just too difficult”. This poses an interesting conundrum for TSL Clubs as to whether the appointment of a playing-coach or non playing coach will deliver the right structure for the Club to be successful. If you look at “Best Practice”, which is the AFL, the current day football environment demands that people heading up the football club in a coaching capacity should have a ‘helicopter view’ on game day and implement their own strategies and structures by seeing them first hand from afar, rather than being on the ground and receiving the information second hand. What I am sure of is that Clubs will appoint the most appropriate person for the role whether that is a playing or non-playing coach to achieve the outcomes that their core business warrants and desires, but it does provide for an interesting debate. Shaun Young General Manager Wrest Point State League Editor’s Note: The last time that a playing coach was engaged in the AFL / VFL was way back in 1979 when Alex Jesaulenko led Carlton to the Premiership. Along with John Nichols at Carlton in 1972 they are the only instances of successful playing coaches at this level in the last 50 years. Tasmanian Brett Geappen led Clarence to the State League title as a playing coach in 2009, but, arguably, some of the most successful Tasmanian coaches of recent years have been non-playing such as Matthew Armstrong, Adam Sanders, David Newitt, Grant Fagan, Andy Bennett and Garry Davidson. 2

The past three seasons have seen him become a regular senior player and moved from his original position as a forward to a key defender in Glenorchy’s backline. ‘Shitty’ to his team mates, Daniel is a reliable player who always gives his all and is enjoying a great return to form.
