Today on Tassie Footy Life, we’re joined by a name well known on the local footy scene, Brent Dolliver. A life member, premiership player and bona fide legend of Dodges Ferry in the SFL, Brent has built a reputation as a passionate leader and tactical mastermind. In 2024, he stepped into the Statewide competition as assistant coach at Clarence, a role that earned him plenty of respect.

But when the senior coach was controversially let go at season’s end, Brent made a shock move across the Eastern Shore to arch-rivals Lauderdale, taking the reins as senior coach in what would become one of the boldest transitions in recent memory.

Fast forward to now, Brent has Lauderdale sitting top of the ladder and looking every bit the premiership favourites. He’s seamlessly combined a talented group into a red-hot, united side chasing the club’s first ever flag in the big league. It’s clear that Brent's coaching journey at Tassie’s top level is only just beginning, and what a start it’s been.

In this episode of Tassie Footy Life, we sit down with one of Tasmania’s most revered footy minds, Tim Woodham, a cunning tactician, a gifted mentor, and one of the most beloved figures in the Tasmanian football community.

From his early days captaining New Norfolk’s U19s to a near move to Fitzroy, Tim's playing and coaching journey spans some of the most iconic eras in Tassie footy. Whether it was pulling on the white boots in a grand final, getting concussed and still coming back to snag a couple, or playing half-back for the first time ever in a TFL decider, Tim’s footy life is full of rich stories, strategic insight, and raw passion for the game.

But Tim’s contribution goes far beyond the white line. Assistant coach, club legend, mentor, and always the first to back his people. He’s the bloke players wanted in their corner and clubs wanted in their camp.

This is a celebration of the man who understood the game better than most, and who’s still helping Glenorchy and the greater footy family in any way he can.

Andrew Lamprill’s footy journey is the stuff of Tassie footy legend, tough, tested, and full of transformation.

After tasting premiership success with the powerhouse 1990 Hobart TFL team, he was snapped up by Melbourne in the AFL draft, bringing his talent and tenacity to the big stage.

A spectacular first goal with his first AFL kick hinted at big things to come, but injuries would cruelly interrupt his momentum.

Despite setbacks, Lamprill carved out a respected AFL career, particularly in defence, before turning his focus to coaching — from Vermont in Victoria to Hobart and now leading the Hutchins Old Boys in Tassie’s Old Scholars league.

Add to that his standout showing at the 2008 Masters Carnival in Darwin — where he earned All Australian honours — and you’ve got a bloke who’s truly lived and breathed every side of the game.
