Tigers back at Weyba Rd

The Rococo Noosa Tigers are back home at Weyba Rd this Saturday as all four of our Senior grades face heavyweights in their respective divisions.

Our Senior Men face back to back defending Premiers Aspley at 2pm whilst our Senior Women go up against one of the flag favourites Sherwood from 4.45pm.

And whilst the ladder positions of both our Senior sides is not where you’d wish it to be, I can guarantee that there is plenty of work behind the scenes being done to ensure that 2025 is year of contending.

Just the key signings of names like Archard, Conn, Freeman, McCarthy and Rich over the past week is a terrific testament of what Senior coach Matty Luenberger and his football department are doing.

The debutants already this season sets the Tigers up for the future as our local boys taste the standard of QAFL footy whilst having the nurturing and mentorship from blokes who succeeded at the elite level. This writer absolutely loves what the Men’s footy department are bringing to the table and can’t wait to see how it ends up.

Our Senior Women also just bring a superb energy to our footy club. And while it’s been a harsh initiation into higher division footy, already through the leadership of Women’s co ordinator Jen Wood, coach Tunza and skipper Kellie Barker the hard work has started to build on in 2025.

The support our Senior women continue to give our youth girls teams coming through is just outstanding. Love hearing that several of them have been helping out at Auskick each Monday night. Some fantastic standards being set by our Senior Mens and Women’s groups which is just so good to see.
