The king comes to town

Widely recognised as the greatest centre half forward of all time and one the best ever to play our great game, Wayne the King Carey is our guest speaker at our Presidents Lunch on Saturday 10 August.

The North Melbourne dual premiership skipper was just a phenomenon in the ’90s with his physical presence and all round skill set. An ‘in your face captain’ whose leadership and on point performances were a huge reason behind the Kangaroos’ success in 1996 and 1999. After a short stint with the Adelaide Crows, Carey has become a controversial media figure with his ‘old school’ views on the current game so is a must see on 10 August at the Noosa Tigers.

Back onto the local stuff and all our Senior teams head to the Gold Coast this weekend with our Senior men playing Labrador and our Senior Women Surfers Paradise.

Both Senior teams have beaten these teams during 2024 so all are keen to fo it again in a season where wins have been few and far between.

We have our Inclusion teams playing on Rococo oval this Saturday which is always a fantastic watch with the development game from midday and the Senior game at 1.15pm.

A terrific girls/women’s program was presented by the club last Friday night which from what I am hearing was just a ripper. A big thank you for those who were a part of such a great initiative.

Our juniors have two fixture rounds to play before finals with several of our youth teams looking to be a part of the pointy end of the season.

Good luck to all teams representing the mighty Noosa Tigers this weekend.
