BL&G Football League

I agree LC, a broadcast of the match of the round would be great, possibly the Barracker could even advertise when the footy show is on so that the people within the BL&G can listen to and support the radio show/station!!!!
Bring on 2009!!!!

You seem to be in the know Umpy, maybe you could suggest/arrange...

Any thoughts on Ian Stafford as senior coach returning to Nuri. Hows he going? Id say the game plan will be quite a bit different than previous years at Nuri

Didn’t need a game plan at Nuri then, Father Christmas could have coached those premierships. With the success he once had, this also brings back memories of the glory days. Good numbers on the track with some locals returning.
Swamp – His 90’s side was about a dominant as your side a couple of years ago, but they done this for about 6 or 7 consecutive years. What sort of impression did he leave at your club?

The success at Nuri was largely based on gameplan and coaching - especially early on. Only needed to see the work done between the 94 and 95 seasons and the rewards that came over the ensuing 6 or 7 years.

What a load of dribble Timmie. The success was due to the mums and dads from Nuri around 1973, 74 etc.

I guess you were there at the time then and saw the training program.

Father Christmas could have coached and he also could have had no training program. Having said that, I was fortunate enough to remember that generation of kids who played U14 & U17 through that successfull junior era. The quality and quantity that come through that crop was a once in a generation occurance. As time shows it was a good thing to happen to the club, because it had been a while between drinks.

Cant deny there wasn't a solid U14/U17 bunch of success through the late eighties/early nineties, but to suggest his coaching had no impact is a big call and significantly incorrect. The style of training (and gameplan) changed dramatically with Stafford... based on the research and work he did with his junior coaching at Norwood. He went to the club on the recommendation of Sydney scout Andrew Schofield for this very reason - his ability to build a bunch of youngsters into a winning senior outfit.

He had/has his shortcomings, but moving magnets around on boards is not one of them.

As an unbiased observer, I would have thought sitting on a complete different side of the oval to your bench is kind of weird, however,it proved effective last time. Will it alienate this time, however?

Yeah it was a little wierd, but there was a reason behind it.

[Liquid Confidence]

And the reason was??????????????

[BL&G_Ump]

What was the reason?????

[TimmiesChin]

And the reason was??????????????

From memory it related to the proximity of the coaches box to mound bar.

Timmie -I dont like you playing with words, you are using the term solid very lightly. They were already a winning outfit, I must admit he was the founder of November training. Anyway time will tell if he was lucky or not.

You nob jockeys can try pay out the man in chaps all you like, but nothing you write will change the fact that he coached the best teams in the 30 years of the BLGFA.

I doubt any other coach will match it.

Hang on - are you paying out Staff or defending him. I'm defending his coaching ability.
