Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Wrong. The TFL (that is, the southern league) was formed in 1945. There was the TFL, NTFA and NWFU. He was based in Hobart with the ABC radio and TV and called only TFL games. He worked initially with Don Closs in the early to mid 70s then handed over to Peter Walsh who did it for several years before going to SA. Neville Oliver called the NTFA games.Originally posted by Young Blood
I listened to Tim for 15 years when he was 3LO's main man, and continue to do so when he commentates on Friday nights. I also read his column in the Age. He has consistently railed against Victoria-centric views and supported the rights of other states to be part of the national competition. He often explicitly draws on his Tasmanian heritage in this context.
Splitting hairs, he never actually called the TFL - he had been in Victoria for some time before that league was formed. I think he got his start calling the NTFL, but that's well before my time!
You're probably thinking of the State League that came years later.
Consider your hairs split.Comment

Oh Malcom Blight is a shocker, I dunno what 10 were thinking. Time after time he makes the worst comments & sometimes it's not even related to anything that is happening in the game.
Personally I would rather Walls as special comment's man. Blight needs another job!Forget about Hall, it's all about Bradshaw

The TFL was the state league that brought together the 6 clubs of the TANFL, South Launceston, North Launceston, Burnie and Devonport in the late 80s. See link.Comment

I think you'll find that the TFL was around before the late 1980's incarnation.Comment

Cow is right. The southern Tasmanian league, previously known as the STFA, changed its name to the TFL in 1906. It kept that name until 1928 when it became the TANFL. The TANFL continued until 1986 when the statewide TFL was formed, initially with 8 teams.
I'm confident that Tim Lane didn't commentate either incarnation of the TFL!Comment

I HATE Malcolm Blight's commentary, irrespective of who's playing. He is boring, repetitive and not the least bit as insightful as he thinks he is.
I really enjoyed the commentary from KB and Healy last weekend. Healy obviously knows a bit more about Sydney than most commentators, while I just find KB entertaining. Also generally like the channel 9 team - they seem to work well together.Comment

You can correct me on anything other than Australian rules football in Tasmania during the 1970's. That would be my selected category in Mastermind.Originally posted by Young Blood

The link you've provided refers to the later version of the TFL- you may notice the dates quoted are in the early 90's. Footy-goers before that time know the TFL to be the southern Tasmanian League ie North Hobart, Sandy Bay, Hobart, Glenorchy, New Norfolk and Clarence. Tim Lane's time.
Yes, 3LO. Tim may have preached a national concept in his role at 3LO, but he certainly doesn't like the look of it now.
He yearns for the suburban mudheaps of Windy Hill, Moorabbin and Brunswick Street. I think that's where footy starts and ends for him.Comment

I grew up in Bellerive, played U/18 for Clarence (premiership in '76) fell out with then seniors coach Eric Pascoe the next year, stood out of footy for two years (did me no good at all) then 50 odd games for Hobart.Originally posted by Young Blood

I'm also from Bellerive, but am not quite old enough to remember your career. Played cricket for Clarence, not footy.Originally posted by Boodnutz
