Gee Blockie you're a bit sensitive there, it's not good to have people all saying untrue things about your footy club is it?. Now you know what it's like to be on the other end of the crud you've been dishing out this week!!!

JD what was untrue about what Blockie has been dishing out this week (and me), the tribunal backed this up and has made you look a little silly. Lubke's comments where bang on in the Bunyip.

Michael or JD or whoever you really are, hell even now I 'm confused which one you are, if you take that as being sensitive you have some issues. Have you heard of tongue in cheek. I think you once wrote in a post about stirring the pot!! I really don't care just find it very amusing. As for saying untruths about a footy club I sleep easy knowing at the very least I am confident that I can back up my claims with facts. When you think about it if you had a local club that could afford to spend anywhere near the figure you are thinking and still stay financially viable the club must be doing something right and should probably be congratulated re raising the standard of footy in the BLGFA, many thought Barossa would go belly up with their spending spree over the previous two seasons but they survived and have raised the bar, of which all other clubs need to reach to stay competitive.

Happy for you to air your opinions, as the sunbowler said we are all entitled to them, sometimes people just call it as they see it sometimes people don't, and wouldn't it be a boring world if we all did the same thing, keep stirring Micke or JD and others all makes for a more interesting day

keep guessing blockie but as long as you think I'm someone else it means I cant get in trouble so I'll keep stirring you all, although some sturday nights I'm not sure who I am either

Hmm, let's see skip, maybe the stuff about Harvey being a sniper for a start (has never been reported) I'll leave it at that, as the duke said your credibility is suspect

[skipper]

JD my credibility is well and truly in tact, it is the Ango love fest that dominates this site that is now suspect after last nights verdict. Interesting to hear some of the opinions around the BLG at the moment, slowly you are isolating yourselves. You can either listen to this or keep pretending that there is no problem.

As a long term supporter who attends games and goes out and listens to coaches speeches at the breaks from juniors right through to seniors I am yet to hear any of the Angaston coaches direct a player to take out another player outside the rules of the game . In saying this I don't condone violence or dirty tactics on the football field but am certain that I also expect players to go hard at the ball in a contest not shirk the contest as I am sure you do with the club you support. It would be interesting to hear what you believe is the problem at Angaston

Skip the trubunal result does not really back your statements re dirty act up. The charge was actually downgraded from striking to unduly rough play beause the evidence would not support a striking charge just proves the high horse you were on is actually a pony

[skipper]

Gilligan to me the problem would seem to be the coach and just a small number of a players, and I only mean a small number of players. As I said you can listen, if you decided there is no problem well thats fine we will move on. At the moment we are just going back and forth trading insults which isn't achieving anything. The facts will remain that some bad things happened last saturday and no one can change that now. Tanunda where well in their rights to take it to the tribunal and they handed down a decision. Rough play, striking so what JD, I'm sure your clutching at straws will make Kennedy feel a lot better. I just cannot understand how you cannot take some of this on the chin, especially you JD, and then just move on. JD I will look forward to seeing your rundown of player payments at the Blockies.

I think that the tribunal was in no other position to suspend Small after Tanunda ran to the Bunyip to sell their story. I think that their was a hidden agenda from Tanunda and unfortunately Angaston were made to look like the villans. eg. Lubke comments regarding opposition players targeting his stars (what a load of crap). Small was hung, drawn and quartered before he even had a chance to plead a defence. Blockie - Rian Nelson will be chomping at the bit, because when the boxheads are exposed with physical pressure in finals football against a physicall strong outfit, their soft underbelly will be exposed.

Duke if you know the local media, you don't need to ring them! Would suggest the photo by a bunyip photographer had more to do with the article, ole Bob wouldn't let an opportunity to have some sensationalism on his front cover go missing, he has in the past had a tendancy to show anything that resembles biffo (whether it was or not last Saturday)

And as I have explained over and over and over and over, if it comes to finals and we are outplayed whether by physical pressure or sheer brilliance you cop that. That's footy. We seem to keep going over covered ground here. You set your sides up hoping that you are prepared to handle the presure situations that come with finals footy. Would Barossa be in a better position following two Grand Final appearances, maybe, there was certainly more pressure last season to get a top four spot last year than this (by that I mean Tan and Bar, by most parts haven't been challenged for four quarters, but then again they have 9 new players into their squad too. Both sides are probably missing out on playing a side of FReeling quality of last year. That's just an opinion, I'm sure it will strike debate.

This has kinda turned into a Tan V Ango thread at the moment, wish I quess is good to be talking local footy, but can we jump back to what really happend at Willaston seems to be a few mixed messages. Thought great that the pres got on the front foot and supplied the information to the leader, or maybe teak's hunted him down for it, but it seems to go against what was brought up on the forum. SAturday will tell I suppose!

So what did happen at Willaston then?

[151]

Baker boys quit which has been stated earlier and for the reasons stated earlier
The president forgot to say they did suspend Shaun for a week and did take the captaincy of him, that was Sunday
Monday morning they rang him and told him they had changed their minds
It took the President of the League to go and talk to Shaun and ask him to finish the year.
Not sure but would you say that is a conflict of interests by Mr Symes

So are they playing out the year or have they gone?

[skipper]

Gilligan you didn't offend me don't worry at all. I was answering your question and Probably got side tracked, you have actually been very fair through this debate. Duke you mention that Tanunda's soft underbelly is that they are soft, how does that explain the way they played after Kennedy was carted away? Duke I will let the other stuff go like all the stuff about Harvey but tell me in a yes no answer with no political crap, Do you condone what happened to Kennedy, whether it be striking or rough play? and then we can move on.

skip & blockie , as an outside observer of this league it is interesting to read of your attack on the Ang club & in particular the personal attack on your percieved coaching style of their coach. i did attend the game Ang v Kap [4 v5 ]a few weeks ago and if a game was going to warrent a bit of 'biff' ,this was it. listening to the Ang coach at the oval breaks not one word was said about anything of this nature. as for player Harvey being a 'sniper' [ i hope he's #18 ] he was Ang best player by a mile [even a country mile ] that day, and he did that by being hard at the ball and set an example that most of his team mates should have followed. your posts of last weekend re the incident with player Kennedy did not put you in a good light.[ putting up your ' factual ' observations of the incident, then the "alledged" defence that would come from Ang.] pre- empted any fair hearing at a tribunal in my opinion. again as an outsider it seems to me that your beef is with the club and if you can drag down the coach [ causing disruption ] even better. the big pity is now you have dragged the players [ who provide our weekly entertainment ] into your vendetta against Ang and the coach

As we say Old Moz, everyone is entitled to their opinion. However I would like to take a step back here as I said NOTHING against Harvey, please quote me if I did!! NOTHING. Harvey can be brilliant, but I reckon also pretty frustrating too, like most blokes! Next step back I NEVER quoted what the Angaston defence would be, please quote me if I did!! Are you saying that we can't talk about possible tribunial issues until they have been heard, it certainly didn't stop the local media, having their two bob's worth, in fact I would suggest the only local commentator that wrote with out inciting anything was Jamo, he's a clever man, infact he may not have even entered the forum re the incident until after the hearing...don't quote me on that though! I twould be great if this subject was never brought up again but it will be and everyone can put forward what they think/heard or are privy to. Think is questionable, heard can be misunderstood but when you become privy of information then smoke and fire follow. Anyway Have a lovely weekend on the field and lets hope their is more pleasant stories to tell next week!

Gilligan, you asked re Kennedy, if I was a betting man I would say that we won't be seeing anyone kick 100 goals in our association this season!

[skipper]

Old Moz & Blockie you both have some fair points here. Old Moz Tanunda & Ango are both as guilty as each other using the media to further their cause on this one. As blockie said Jamo was probably the only media reporter that was very fair and as we all know he has a very strong connection to Angaston, and I think it was a credit to him. The Leader game report was as bad as anything the Blockies put in the media. Even though I don't support either the Panthers or Blockies I tried to keep an fairly unbiased view but I think it got a little waylayed in this debate but I still will not shy away on what I think about the Kennedy incident.
