BL&G Football League

[Pinch Hitter]

Daysofourlife and Pinchhitter get a life. O'Conner has always kept in touch with all his past plaayers and always asks everyone he knows "who is available". That's what makes him probably one of the most knowledgable coaches going around. He makes no bones about his application to the job at hand i.e. love the one your with. The petty jealousies from people like yourselves who bring up crap about the amount of money Kilburn spends on players is a joke. Why do you think we lost Calyun, Wilson and Dempsey, we couldn't/wouldn't match what they are getting elsewhere. And I am quite sure Barossa Districts appreciated his legacy of a couple of premierships and a heap of players he got there. Bag somone else guys you look foolish on this attempt.

keeps in touch with all his past players LOL!!

I stated that occonor contacted a player asking for phone numbers of any other players he did not know. This reaks of someone with obvious resentment and absolutely disgraceful ethics, i am not jealous of these qualities.

I am interested in safooty's members thoughts on the broader issue of former coaches trying to pilfer former clubs... not where players want to leave, but blantant attempts at pilferring.

Please nearly-was leave your love interests out of the topic.

Next Item on the Agenda please....

[skipper]

skip, how many imports spots freeling got left at this stage? do think taylor is worth chasing hard, his deal with eastern park obliviously not set in stone?

Not too sure, at this stage there is supposed to be about 11 recruits but I'm not too sure on the local/import ratio, Prouse is keeping his recruiting very tight to his chest, especially on imports. From what I can gather Taylor would be their last import spot. Lets not forget that about 12 players have moved on so Prouse has to recruit a reasonable number to cover them. Looks as though the squad is coming along well though and will be more competitive than last year, reasonable numbers at training (approx 30) which is far higher than previous years.

2 imports confirmed, the other 3 are on the boil, Taylor in the mix, 2 or 3 moved into town as locals

[Liquid Confidence]

Talking tall men...

Barossa have lost Spicer, and Chamberlain didnt look in the best nick last year...
GC's still have Howard, and believed to have picked up a tall or 2...
Kapunda Lost Turrell and Kerr...
Tanunda still have Wells (even though I think he is only complemented by the midfield that is around him)...
Willaston, well no improvement there that im aware about...
Freeling, lost Lamond (even though he didnt play much last year), so unless they picked up a handy type...
Ango, I thought someone said their young ruckman has gone to the hills with last years coach (?)...
Nuri have C-Sappsford, but I think he thinks he is better than what he is...
South have the 3 talls as Tex R mentioned, but can they all play at the same time...

So the top four teams last year All had decent big men, with Barossa and Kapunda losing their advantage there, maybe we will see a change in the top 4...

Midfielders can be a dime a dozen, but quality big men are often hard to find...

You have got to be kidding LC, this lad is an out and out champ when it comes to country footy. No surprises that league clubs where looking at him this year, he will never make it at a league level due to some discipline reasons. The guy is a gun at both on and above ground level. LC you pretend that you are expert on this site but with statement you have lost some serious credability with me.

Swooper

Swooper, before you get carried away on your little high horse there mate.... Does It say I dont think Wells is a good player... No it doesnt... I was merely trying to highlight the fact that just about any ruckman would look that little bit better if they were tapping it down the throat of the Tanunda midfield...

And just for the record, never said I was an expert, never pretended to be either mate, just give MY opinion, doesnt mean its right or wrong swooper, its just an opinion.

And I dont give a shit what credability I hold with you or anyone else on here....

Obviously you know a little more than you have stated, can you give any names... (the bloke he asked or the blokes he has called??)

[Pinch Hitter]

I was trying to raise a topic for conversation about pilferring not a witch hunt.. i personally couldn't give a sh-t who it is.. seems have taken off like a lead balloon..

back on to football..

Are their any KFC followers on this site.. how is spike milligan going out in coal country? whats his philosphy for this year, youth or recruits?? Looks like youth by the number of ins they have = 0.. maybe spike is waiting for the final cuts at Westies.

[Swamp Donkey]

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?

Yeah right thats a fair effort in itself though, holding together a team of that quality for that long.
Stafford was certainly a quality footy coach and he developed a few young kids at mallala really well. Was the coach who really turned Mallala into a hard running, skillful side that they have been over recent years. He was definately an awesome coach, but it was just very disappointing the way he left. He quit after the 1st game of the season after a solid preseason (mid Nov)
I can see both sides. I mean he quit because he had lost his passion and hunger apparently, but from a players perspective it was disappointing particularly after such a strong preseason. i find it hard to believe that passion can be lost in one game and if it wasnt then why did he make the call earlier before the season started? Everyones moved on now though, and I think Mallala play Nuri in a trial on the 4th of April which will be fun!

Mate of mine that plays at Kapunda says that all are very happy with the way he opperates. Def big on blooding youth and very professional. Dont know if they have recruits though... Would ahve good contacts at westies and norwood i think...

Glad to know that you are not worried about your credability, anyway how's this weeks Herald coming along?

[PitBull]

does anyone know how bo bysters knee is going? will he play a grade as i have heard he is asking for money since harvey and pech were paid to come back to the club last year so im assuming his knee must be 100%. i doubt there would be any money left to sponge as these guys soaked it all up last year plus the addition of dawes, robinson and watson wouldnt leave any spare change.

Daysofourlives when Seelander coached at Angaston his policy I'm lead to believe was to not pay locals. Will the rules change down at Donnyville now he's at the helm?

[Swooper]

Good one Skip generally people that are not worried about their credability already have none. Are you suggesting that LC may also go by the initials of PA?

How are the redlegs looking anyway, I hear through the Blockie grapevine (fairly scoorched and not yielding a lot this season) that you guys are still a 50/50 to sign up Taylor. From what I have heard he is still keen to play in this league and stick around with his good mate Greenwood even if they can't play for the same side.

considering that some of willastons locals are amoungst the best players in the competition i'd say he'd struggle to implement this.

How can anyone have credability on an anonymous forum...

Skip, anything further with this??
Names etc...

Freeling did have a good Senior Colts side from memory, how many of these young lads will move into the senior ranks this year... A promising sign for a club thats relied on imports of late....

Fresh ideas and some new faces are going to be just what the doctor ordered for the redlegs in 09, may not be world beaters but hopefully prousey sticks around for a few years and builds freeling something sustainable for the future.
