PREVIEW
Tasmanian State League Football returned last Saturday Night under lights as the Magpies took on the reigning premiers Clarence. It was a historic night at KGV Oval, the lights were switched on for the very first time at KGV Oval, and Jason Akermanis lined up for his very first game. Over 8,400 people showed up to KGV Oval to watch arch rivals battle it out, and it was a battle that the Magpies with new recruits in hand would win.
While Akermanis' influence was not a major one, he managed over 20 possessions for the night, managed to even boot himself a goal. Late in the first quarter Clarence captain Nick Paine felt Akermanis in his ribs which threatened to start a brawl. Glenorchy new boy Shaun Collis booted 4, Jake Cox 3, Ben Reynolds 3, Jonathan Bowring 2, and one each to French, Corbett, and Bowden.
Jake Cox and Jonathan Bowring were the main standouts for the Magpies, Cox who seemed to have a falling out with old coach Ben Reid had a fantastic start to the game, finding a lot of the ball, and hitting his targets. While Nathan Matthews was solid down back, managing to run the ball out of the backline. The Roos came back at the Magpies, but a goal to French helped steam the tide, but the Magpies held on for the famous victory and Akermanis got in his handstand last weekend.
This weekend, Glenorchy battles another rival, and Akermania will return for another week, the Tigers are hoping that Akermania can bring the same crowd that was seen at KGV Oval. This is the chance for them to bring a record crowd at the TCA Ground that has not been seen since the days of Peter Hudson when he returned to Tasmania.
Glenorchy has had the better of Hobart since the new state league started but the last time out a Hobart side kept Glenorchy to just the 4 goals at the TCA Ground last season, inflicting a loss that could have seen the end of the Magpies' finals hopes. Hobart finds themselves in a bit of a football transfer row with their refusal to clear some players to their new SFL clubs.
They welcome Crosswell from North Launceston, Luke Allie from Claremont, formerly of Glenorchy, Peter Yole from the mainland, and also welcome back Jake Briggs amongst their big inclusions. The Tigers lose Burbury and Howe to the AFL, Young went back to Dodges, Sam Hall heads to New Norfolk, a list of the changes are below.
Glenorchy has only won the once at the TCA Ground that was the Round 1 clash back in 2009, since then they have struggled there, with the new additions to the Magpies line up this season, they could see this change, the Tigers will hope that the smaller ground will see Akermanis unable to get himself into the game. The Magpies' new recruit Rhys Mott will hope to get himself into the swing of things having a bit of a quite debut for the Pies.
The Magpies also pushed David Hunt down back, an interesting move, Nathan Matthews too was down back and was playing well. Glenorchy could again send both down back, and send Clinton French to hide up forward and crumb some goals like he did back in 2009 for Glenorchy. Geoff Crosswell from North Launceston is in for an interesting debut on the small oval of the TCA Ground.

Jake Cox (Glenorchy) one of the best for the Magpies during their game against the Roos, alongside co-captain Jonathan Bowring, throughout the game Cox managed to find the ball and was able to use it well and not waste his possessions. He will be one for the Magpies to step up this week.
QUESTION MARKS
Hobart's first game of the season, met with some off the field dramas, with the footy transfer row, and other controversy's with the club possible moving to Kingborough, and with the loses of players, can this young Tigers team use their home ground advantage, and the hold they have had on the Pies to win?
He's the name on everyone's lips in Tasmania, and now he enters the Tigers' home ground, a ground that is smaller, and not so modern to the ones he would've played on, going from KGV Oval to TCA Ground will provide Aker with his big test, can Akermanis shake off the rust and help guide his Magpies to a win?
WHO WILL WIN AND WHY
Glenorchy made an impressive start to their 2011 TSL Season by beating the Roos at KGV Oval getting the most out of their new recruits, as well as finding some form from the older heads at the club. Hobart are entering the season with a few questions to be asked of them, they are going to be under the pump again off the ground, and on the ground they are meeting a team that easily accounted for the premiers of last season.
Even though the Tigers have had the better of the Magpies at the TCA Ground, Glenorchy are fully fit and ready to fire. The Tigers are an unknown quantity coming into this season, financial troubles at the club, uncertain future, where they are going to play, who is coming and going. Fans are at odds with their president, and everything else that has gone on there for years.
But with the rivalry that the Magpies and Tigers have had over the years, it's going to make for an interesting clash, Glenorchy does have the class on the field, even without the influence of Akermanis and his 22 possessions and the 1 goal 2 behinds that he got last weekend. Reynolds looked dangerous up forward puling down marks, and kicking the 3 goals. Shaun Collis made an impressive debut with those 4 goals. Jesse Crouch returned to the club this season from a knee injury, he was a bit quiet in his return match, the Pies also had young Daniel Joseph, Jaye Bowden, and others playing well.
The points are going to head back to KGV Oval this weekend, and the Magpies are going to have a 2-0 start, but the Magpies are going to be their worst enemies. If they think they are going to have it easy against the Tigers, they are wrong. Michael Cassidy, playing assistant coach for the Tigers will make sure that the players try and unnerve Akermanis.
Clarence tried to do that last weekend, but Aker was playing in a bit of a decay role, he would get the ball, and put it out in space for a Glenorchy player. The game will be one for the Tigers if they can stop the big forwards, Reynolds will be the man they have to stop, close down the Pies' midfield and they might have a show.
PREDICTION
Glenorchy by 20 points.
