For a Noosa boy for as long as he can remember (Dad came up from South and in fact Coached the Club) we could well ask what Peter Trompf, our raining B&F winner is doing in Darwin not the Sunny Coast at this time of the year.
Enjoying an AFLNT season and considering it a pretty good preseason preparation for the upcoming Tigers year would be his answer.
Trompfy is playing with the Palmerston Magpies who are in a battle (with Wanderers) for the fifth and final spot for finals playoffs and says he is enjoying the experience and the laid back lifestyle in Darwin. - so laid back he was almost late for a match while relaxing out at Berry Springs (think tropical trees, waterfall and a lagoon you would see in a movie) one Saturday and lost track of time.
Working on front desk at a resort up there, Peter has survived the rigours of a “12 months season” by missing a swag of games (some at the umpires request & some with injury) and feels that given his role in the middle that playing every game in both comps would be almost impossible.
Asked if he was weary or ready for the Tigers season he was particularly keen and indicated that the time in Darwin had been great but having rested for a few games it served as a great preseason for the AFLQ and he was looking forward to coming home.
He has already let his landlord know that (finals pending) he will be out soon and plans to be back in Noosa around March 18th.
We look forward to having the big fella back and out on the paddock with the Tiges.
