Tale of the Tape: Magpies run away with 3 big wins in one day
- Details
The Glenorchy RSEA Magpies have celebrated three wins on the one day for the first time in almost two years after a trio of terrific triumphs at North Hobart Oval last week.
The senior side were almost impeccable across the opening three quarters - having 41 inside 50s to just 19 for North Hobart - with only some poor conversion in front of goal preventing them leading by much more than 43 points.

Tale of the Tape: Roberts applies heat in Blues loss

The game was a physical affair but the Blues showed their power and class in a string of dominant bursts through the game to run out easy winners.
Tale of the Tape: Youngsters stand tall in fierce Tiger battle
- Details
It was almost like the night Noah started building his arc, but out on KGV the RSEA Magpies and Tigers put on an absorbing battle of physical, wet weather football to open Round 11 of the TSL.
It was the visitors' night, a three-goal burst in the second term proving the difference between the two sides despite a late charge from Glenorchy that brought the hearty Friday night crowd to life.
Tale of the Tape: Blowfield stars as Pies down Bombers
- Details
The RSEA Magpies have produced a stirring 19-point win over arch-rivals Lauderdale at KGV in a game billed as a 'mini final' by coach Paul Kennedy.
The toll from the previous week's loss, with Adam Roberts, Brayden Webb, Darrean Wyatt, Sam Rundle and Zac Webster all forced omissions, meant one of the youngest Glenorchy sides in history took to the field in a must-win game in hurricane-like conditions.
RSEA Magpies produce fighting devt league win
- Details
When a club has 20 players unavailable due to injuries, concussion, work commitments and school footy, it has an enormous impact on the development league side, and that was the challenge the Glenorchy boys faced last week.
With just 12 players from the senior list available for the crunch game against Lauderdale, the Claremont Football Club stepped up and offered six of their players as their team had the SFL bye.
Together with a group of Glenorchy U16 and U18 players, that was the boost the RSEA Magpies needed to record a 23-point win and move a game clear inside the top four.
While Lauderdale anchor the bottom of the development league ladder, with such an undermanned line-up it shaped as a massive danger game for the Pies' finals hopes, and the club is very grateful to our Claremont neighbours for their assistance.
RSEA Magpies retain Smith-Corrie Cup
- Details
It was a huge week for the RSEA Magpies women's team who won their ninth straight game for season 2021 by defeating Clarence by 62 points.
With the return of stars like Sarah Skinner, Perri King and Molly Mitchell, the girls produced a stunning second quarter, booting 5.2 to 0.1 to bounce the Roos off Blundstone Arena and keep the Smith-Corrie Cup in Magpie hands.
Clarence reclaim Bingley-Linton Cup
- Details
The Clarence Roos have broken their Bingley-Linton Cup drought with a well-earned win over Glenorchy at Bellerive Oval.
The third-placed Roos built the game up as their best chance in a number of years to reclaim the prized trophy, with their full contingent of Devils available and the RSEA Magpies missing a host of stars.
The Glenorchy boys were ready for their fire, however, bringing enormous pressure to control the opening 15 minutes of the game, but some wayward ball use meant they only had one major to show for it.
Clarence responded in what was an outstanding contest, and some slick conversion gave them a 14-point lead at the first change.
The high-pressure encounter continued in the second term, but it was the Roos who maintained the heat for longer, and a four-goal burst to close the quarter blew the game open.
Glenorchy responded in the third term, and a major early in the final term had the margin back to six goals, however the injury bug had bitten hard, with Brayden Webb, Sam Rundle, Zac Webster, Adam Roberts and Darrean Wyatt all sidelined.
The Pies down to 16 players on the field at one stage, and although Callen Daly reemerged to give the visitors a 17th player, Clarence made the most of their advantage to cruise to a 68-point win.
Dom Brown was outstanding for the RSEA Magpies, limiting gun Clarence midfielder Ethan Jackson to just one clearance and picking up an incredible 18 pressure acts, while Cooper Meredith and Daniel Joseph were ever-dependable down back.
Harrison Gunther competed hard at both ends, as did James Deegan in the ruck, while youngster Luke Nicholson was tireless on the wing.

Gunther returns for Bingley-Linton Cup clash
- Details
The RSEA Magpies welcome back star utility Harrison Gunther for their huge Bingley-Linton Cup clash with Clarence at Bellerive on Saturday, as they look to maintain their stranglehold on the coveted cup.
After the sombering news that lynchpin defender Tom Cleary will miss the remainder of the season after tearing his ACL, the return of Gunther after a strong run of form for North Melbourne in the VFL is a timely boost.

The all-conquering RSEA Magpies women's team has moved to a perfect 8-0 for season 2021 with an emphatic 94-point win over Claremont in the SFLW, with star forward Tarn Ford dominant with 8 goals.
With the AFL deciding not to run a TSLW in 2021 - leaving Tasmania's best players without the opportunities provided to those in Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia - the club has created a range of opportunities for our women's team to help fill the void.

It was the long-awaited day that Daniel Joseph reached 150 games and became a Life Member of the Glenorchy District Football Club, and his teammates made sure it was one to remember at North Hobart Oval.

Tale of the Tape: Pies don't convert, Joseph outstanding

It was a frustrating day at the office for the RSEA Magpies as they failed to fire in the third term, and failed to convert their many opportunities as they fell by 24 points to the much-improved Tigers at Twin Ovals.
The day was typified by the visitors' opening few minutes, where two 'stand' 50-metre penalities gifted the Tigers a pair of cheap goals and a perfect kickstart to the day.

Tale of the Tape: Kamaric stars, Pies fall short
- Details
Ben Kamaric gave a strong early indication he is back to his brilliant 2019 form with a Dusty Martin-like performance in the RSEA Magpies' season opener at KGV.
In a game that swung back and forth throughout, a string of late majors secured the win for Clarence, but there were certainly positive signs for the young Magpies, most noticeably Kamaric's form.
Reibelt joins RSEA Magpies
- Details
The Glenorchy RSEA Magpies are pleased to welcome emerging 20-year-old Nick Reibelt to KGV for the 2021 season.
“He’s a young man who’s had to do it the hard way, not being identified in the AFL talent pathways growing up and having to very much drive his own development,” coach Paul Kennedy said.
