Conn makes team of the year

Star Noosa Tigers recruit Mitch Conn has made the QAFL team of the year which was presented to a packed audience at Sunday Nights prestigious Grogan medal. The gun onballer from the Northern suburbs of Melbourne has had a wonderful first season with the Roccoco Noosa Tigers and heads into the Tigers Presentation night as favourite to take out the top individual gong for season 2024. Conn has all the skills that go with being a class onballer. He wins his own footy, has time and terrific evasive skills and his delivery by either hand or foot is top notch. Well deserved Mitch and great to have you playing for the Tigers in season 2025.

Big Tom Hickey from Palm Beach took out the Grogan quite comfortably as expected by most local footy pundits.

‘Nine a side’ is back again at Rococo oval starting in mid October after a fantastic season last year. Friday night is the time slot this year and for all information please check out our social media spaces or call our operations manager Jen Wood on 0407465483 for all the details. Last year was a blast with the only criticism being it could have gone longer.

A massive congrats to Lexi Leary on her outstanding achievements at the Para Olympics recently. The Leary family have been great supporters of the Noosa Tigers over the years and well what more can you say but Lex’ you are amazing!’

Also a big ‘all the best’ to ex Noosa Tiger champions Aaron Laskey and Ryley Buntain who line up for the Mildura Imperials against Wentworth in the Sunraysia Football league Grand Final this Saturday. Both multiple Premiership players, senior club champions and respected leaders at the Noosa Tigers football club. Get into them boys!

Remember to grab your tickets for the Noosa Tigers presentation night at the RACV resort to be held on Friday 20 September.

Only got one out of four in my finals tipping last week so will have another go:

Hawks by 17

Giants by 22
