Blues assistant coach Angela Dickson brought up the milestone in last weekend’s 92-point thumping of Tigers, and will have her achievement celebrated at Sunday’s home clash with Clarence. 

The 32-year-old was introduced to the sport by touch football teammates and moved to Launceston in 2011 after playing her debut season at Clarence.

Dickson waited six years between her first grand final and last year’s TSLW success, which she considers her career highlight to date. 

“I’ve only played in two, and one was my first year (at Clarence) and we lost - we went undefeated all year and lost in the grand final so that one really hurt,” she said.

“So to have the season we had last year and come out and win the grand final was the best feeling ever and they were an awesome bunch of girls to do it with.

“Hopefully we can try and do it this year - we haven’t really set ourselves up in a good position to do it yet but we’re working hard and I think we can still get there.”

Dickson has spent most of her time at Launceston running through the midfield but has also been used up forward.

A bag of six against Hobart City in 2014 remains her biggest haul to date, and helped the classy ball-winner take out the Blues’ goalkicking award with 20 for the season.

Dickson has again been a steady contributor in front of goal this season, headlined by a bag of four earlier this month.

“As the years have gone on the game’s changed.

“It’s becoming more professional, the girls are taking it more seriously and getting stronger and fitter and the skills are getting better, so as the game has progressed so have I.

“You train harder in the gym and you work harder on your skills because you have to - otherwise you’re going to get left behind.”

Dickson has also begun honing her coaching skills in recent years, and has led the Blues in a number of games under the guidance of incumbent coach Alex Gibbins.

“He thinks a lot outside the box and tries to be one step above everyone else so that as a club and players we can be that next level up.

“For me to be mentored by him on a coaching side of things has enabled me to see the game differently as well.

“When you see the game as a player you see it one way, but as a player and a coach you see a bigger picture.

“Being able to coach and play has made me see the game on a different level - it’s not just thinking about myself, it’s thinking about my teammates, so I’ve learned a lot from him.”
