South's New Coach - Ron Fuller

[aceman]

PS Any truth in the rumour that Boyd has asked for a transfer already?[/quote]

So has anyone heard anymore on the James Boyd situation ???

What I have heard from the club is that he was signed several weeks ago!

From the SAFC,

Panthers’ list signed for 2010

South Adelaide Football Club is pleased to announce that it has re-signed all its existing out-of-contract players for 2010.
CEO Ben Kavenagh said it was encouraging that the Club had been able to re-sign its list so early.
“It demonstrates to a prospective coach that we have a united playing group that is determined to turn things around next year. It also allows us to focus on adding a couple more quality recruits, of which we have already signed two.”
The Panthers will shortly announce the names of the two signings, but is respectful of the club commitments these players need to complete before doing so.
Players contracted for 2010 are:
James Boyd, Michael Handby, Ben Warren, Dylan Williams, Mitch Sandery, Brad Crabb, Tarak Redigolo, Nick McKenna, Lee Schmidt, Alex Splitt, Anthony Carlile, Adam Cockshell, Nathan Lyons, Peter Rolfe, Josh Thewlis, Jake Veide, Leigh Ryan, Jak Kennedy-Hunt, Craig Parry, Chris Minns, Nick Murphy, Sam Elliott, Ben Yeomans, Curtis Perrey, James Turner, Tom Carroll, Jacob Crate.
Players that have announced their retirement either during or following the 2009 season are Jason Torney, Matthew Smith, Ben Neagle and Tom Hateley.
For more information please contact Neill Sharpe, SAFC Football Manager on 8186 8200.

I think that James signed a 2 year deal last year, so he wouldn't have resigned this year as he has 2010 to run on current contract.
Having said that, there was a rumour that he wasn't happy this year under Sambo and was looking to move. Perhaps the change of coach has changed his thinking and perhaps he wants to stay. Then again he could be sick of the continual stuff ups down there and want a fresh start?

So too did Handles so he only has 1 season left of his sentence then he will move closer to home.

well the club "alledgedly'' that boyd spoke to may even run lower on the premiership table than south could

[panthers 2008]

Yes it is along contract by appointing Ron for 5 years,but the way the club has been going this is a very positive move which should have our current players and players considering a move to the club very excited!!!

5 years should (board aside) add stability & a firm base to build on & it is only 4 years ago the bays were terrible so it can be turned around quickly if EVERYONE works in the same direction & have no factions etc

Now that reminds me of another song " There's a faction too much fiction, lalalalala, la,la,la,la,la"

Heard the same ...but every year I hear the same.

Not one Eagles player will end at South next season. They all hated him at the Eagles. Shirley wouldn't have played at all if Ron was coaching, Skipworth had to be coaxed to the Eagles for one reason only and that was his almost non existant relationship with Ron Fuller.

The Eagles had to make their decision on Ron and I am laughing that South picked him up. From what I know, our Club had lost faith in Ron's ability to develop players - not just pick them in the League team because there is a massive difference.

big call to give up the fire dept, on souths history he will be looking for a job by the end of next year

He could get hosed...........

My mail has IO as on the money? James not happy and we would love to see him come home just not yet.

[ball breaker]

Be interested hearing Eagles supporters thoughts of Ron....

They had him for a while.....Pro's/ Con's ?????

If I answer this will I get crucified ?
oh well why not
To slow to make moves
No plan B
Gets pissed off with players leaves them in the seconds
Plays his favourites even if they are out of form.
Will promote juniors who are not ready to play SANFL league football.For all the ones who have made the grade there are many who have fallen by the way side.
Lets not forget he wanted Biagi to play for the eagles and chased him .he went home with a large chunk of Eagles money in his pocket after round 4.
there u go

SOUNDS LIKE A 'NORMAL' COACH TO ME! WHAT COACH HASN'T DONE THIS!!

[holden78]

Whats this ......... are you Holden in disguise .......... I ve been abused on here for years for saying less........ but I do agree with you ( ooooooh , big suprise heh ! )

So too did Handles so he only has 1 season left of his sentence then he will move closer to home.

back to melbourne

Have South taken another step backwards by selecting Fuller as their new coach. He's proven at his time at the Eagles he has no plan b. I don't think Jesus Christ himself could resurect the Panthers let alone Ron Fuller. Should make for an interesting night on Friday at the Club Champion awards.

He did have plan b this year - McGregor to FF!

I hope he ain't taking Kenny south with him then

[ORDoubleBlues]

As an SANFL supporter I'm stoked with South's appointment of Ron Fuller and as long as he's allowed to do it his way with no interference he'll do an outstanding job despite certain Eagles fan's who aren't happy with a flag and 8 years out of 9 in the finals.

[eaglehaslanded]

5 years is way too long I would have expected any initial contract to be 3 years maximum. Fuller is very good working with juniors coming through the system. If I was a Panthers supporter though I wouldn't be expecting a premiership in the next 5 years.

Not necessarily but closer to Mawson Lakes!

[quinnj]

[quote="Gingernuts"]Very optimistic about this appointment. A long time since a premiership coach has been at the helm, it can only be a good thing.

Good luck Ron![/quote
What about Jack ?
The board needs shooting if they stuff this one up!!

WTF is up with people stuffing up quotes?

It's not that hard people!

The five year contract might have something to do with Fuller getting to 55/56 so he then could access his fireman's super when he finishes.
