A shite load if anything that the Marion ruckman was offered is an indication of what they have to throw around.

Maybe at Barker JB, but heard that the interview process is not the same at Lofty where Coco says who he wants and is the only interviewer. Maybe consults with R. Penny but what he says go's.

That's funny given that Coco has ceased his involvement with the management of the club.

So who appointed next seasons B grade coach? His involvement may have ceased but his influence hasn't.

heard whispers a while back that nick fosdike could be the ex-afl player heading to bridgy. would be handy but bridgy couldnt even fit everyone under the points last year and ended up paying a couple of blokes who were getting rotated through b grade every few weeks let alone with fosdike and whatever other new players they have. a better idea probably would have been sticking with last years bunch and getting them playing good footy as a team, on paper they had one of the better first 10 picked in the league and were still fighting for the spoon. unless they recruit the rest of the swans with fosdike, i cant see fosdike changing much

Hasn't the points system changed this year? From what i've heard locals are worth 0 and the whole sytem is changed. eg. Last year ex Div 1 Am player was 3 + 1 - 4 points this year it's just straight out 3. Is this correct.

Also spoke to a mate from tailem and he said they are chasing shee but i couldn't see him leaving Onkas. HUUUGGEE loss if he did go.

Correct. But that was done just before he stepped down.

Poor final decision IMO. A lot of blokes are none too happy about it, including myself. But we will move on and challenge for another flag in 2010. And I will PERSONALLY see to it that there are no f*ck-ups with player qualifications should our supers make the finals this year.

At the HFL AGM, the same points system as last year was voted to be continued this season.

Have to agree with that.
Judging by some of the posts on this board over the last couple of years, Shanty needs a culture transplant more than a player injection.

So who got the job?

Justin Calderbank coached H/Valley B last year and prior to that one year at Reynella 18 and prior to that Blackwood 3rd side?

Nice post to slag your coach before the season starts. I bet Calderbank would be impressed with that. I think he will be quite capable of ensuring only qualified players get a game anyway. He saw Mt Lofty's screw up when he was at Blackwood.

Think you'll find that started last year. They got rid of a few blokes last year and have heard there are a few being told to go this year. Problem is that a lot of people around the club think that trying to change it is an insult to them and they're stuck in the good old days(not that there was many, 1 flag i think). Times change and clubs need to change with it. If they don't then then they may aswell fold now. Hopefully this year they will improve again and be a lot more competetive. Good luck to them.

I never slagged off the new coach.
I stated that I was none too happy with the previous coach being stood down.
I'm 100% behind the new coach and will be backing him in his endeavours to continue our run of appearances in GF's.

But nice attempt to stir some shit.

[MR JUICY]

AF how's it all looking at the thunderdome bloke. Picked up many? When do you guys kick off pre-season again?PM me if you fella's are looking for a trial game hey. Tight Lines big man!

Correct.

Hope he does well. And we kick the pants off the shit stirrers at Ironwank.

that will be their biggest problem (along with finding the cash to pay them). i've heard that they could have 15 - 18 recruits (including last years).

Perhaps you need to re-read your post. You can't tell me you're not saying the appointment of JC was wrong. That's what you said. And I'm not a shit-stirrer. You posted it and I happen to know the bloke and think it's a poor post. Crap should be kept in house.

No that's not what I said. Maybe you should re-read my post.

I don't know the bloke. He may be a great bloke. I hope he is a great bloke. I'll meet him on Thursday.
Perhaps I could have been clearer in saying that the decision to sack Mado was poor. I have no problems with the new appointment. My beef is that the previous coach was sacked and the way in which it was done.

Yes you are a shit stirrer as you've taken something that was slightly ambiguous (in hindsight on my part) and attempted to stir the sh!t by painting in a poor light.

Typical Ironbank behaviour. Try to drag everyone down to your level.

"Damien Cupido has offically signed at Bundoora for the upcoming season. Will definately add that touch of class we have probably just been short on the last few seasons.

Ohh wouldnt it be great come september time when we finally knock you Heidelberg boys over and stop 5 on the trott! "Quote.

Got this off the Northern Football league site on big footy. I mite be behind here but didn't someone say he signed at Lofty?

[GWW]

From what i've heard Lofty considered recruiting him but decided in the end not to.

Slight chip on your shoulder there I'd say.

Stirring the shit and taking offence at a comment that I believed was intended for the new coach are very different things. Read what you will I spose.
