Maybe he is keen on playing a few B grade games limb? Pretty sure he played his junior footy at Willunga.

[quote="mail man"]If all the sfl players are leaving for the gsfl for money how come mclaren vale cant get any

probably because no-one wants to be recruited and put in McLarens B grade side.which is where the majority of their best players seem to play

Heno played colts at Willunga.

If all the sfl players are leaving for the gsfl for money how come mclaren vale cant get any emus. You would have thought that Hill with his connections at wheatshiff rd. would have been able to get a few. everyone else seems to have grabbed a couple. Does Hill lack recriting ability. we all no he had so many gun locals at the emus to work with.But in country fooyt u need to be able to recruit. we always here how lucky mclaren are to own there club. maybe they should sell it and buy some players.they have been living of there last flag and reserves success for to long.

Why do you have to recruit? Don't you have juniors?
Steve Hill said he would not take any Emus with him and has been true to his word.
Steve Hill probably does lack recruiting ability hasn't had to do it before.
I'm sure Hilly and Mclaren would want to give there juniors the oppertunity to develop in to senior
footballers. Isn't that what grassroots football is all about. It takes time and patience.
I would back Hill and Willson to do that.
Myponga/sellicks has recruited a **** load of players this year and are no better of than Mclaren,
Who have people playing for the jumper, not ridiculous amounts of money

Time to get over it old man. Pongy recruited 5 players & lost 4 from the previous season. We were much more competetive on the weekend & had 6 or so A graders missing including 2 recruits in Ritts & Howell. Move on old boy

are you kidding WOW i was at the game on Saturday and the only way you boys could stop yank was to put your entire team in there forward 50, hard to win games playing like that, just glad they decided to play football in the last quarter and gave us spectators something to watch. Cause I bet you agree the 2nd and 3rd quarters were shit by Pongy, I suppose they were just glad to lose by a couple of goals, cause the way they were playing in the first 3 quarters, they were not playing to win.

[footy ninja]

Cause Willunga are at the top of the ladder and Mclaren Vale are near the bottom maybe

[Dig]

You dont have to recruit if you dont want to win. look at the lengths yank have gone to recruit and at this stage seems to be paying of. So are you saying hill hasnt tried recruiting any emus. my mail is that he has. He just hasnt succeeded. weather thats because of the lack of money on offer at mclarens or Hills lack of recruiting ability im not sure. talking development is good as long as he has a three year contract. otherwise he might not get time to develop them, as at the end of the day results matter. willunga does have great locals but they were all developed at south etc. not in an hour on thursday night which country coaches get.

That's exactly why Yank are successful so far this year! Don't get me wrong tho, it's great to have a competitive Yank again in the league, and if that's the way they want to go about being successful goodluck to them. But you can't tell me those blokes that are being flown in are playing for the gurnsey, they won't be around in years to come like the local young fellas who have been with the club their whole football life and strive to one day play A grade for the club they love and wear that Tiger's gurnsey with pride.
From what I have seen Hilly and McLaren are looking for long term success for the club, not short term gain and high played players who are really only there for the pay cheque. It does take time and patience tho, they have the young blokes to achieve this goal, I have seen that it is working and they are on the right track.
Have you actually seen them play at all this year mail man, or just going on what's in your letterbox?

If you were watching so closely, who bottled it up & had loose men in the 2nd & 4th Qtrs? Yank had a 3 man forward line by the end of the last quarter. They dropped a loose man back so we manned them up, they'd drop another one back so we'd man them up. Yes we did try & bottle it up in the 3rd, had a chuckle when Bob Willis went off about it but it nearly worked for us & Yank did exactly the same in the last. Also never happy with a loss or to lose by a few goals. Got to give credit to the young lads at Pongy, the weather was shit & suited us better but our pressure was the best its been all year. Always play to win, even if it's not pretty to watch. Would you like your $5 back?

Great blokes and hope they are playing some good footy!

I'm pretty sure that Yank didn't have all 18 of there players in your forward 50 in the last quarter, as they kicked 2 goals 3points in the last. Hard to do that if they played the way Pongy played in the 3rd.

[mail man]

Dig , i havent seem them play this year, however i have many connections down there and i think they all agree that mclarens need some quality senior players to compliment there youngsters. If they want to be contenders and not just make up the bottom couple in the comp. have you seen them play Dig and are you happy with the results? as at the end of the day thats what matters. And thats what Hill and associates will be judged on.

I see former McLaren player Justin Hentschke has put in a clearance to Willunga.. can anyone from either of those 2 clubs shed any light on this??

Heno played colts at Willunga.

Heno had a shoulder operation yesterday, in a sling for 4 weeks. I doubt he'll play this season.

Only forwards can kick goals?? Read the text Ninja (3 forwards by the end of the last qtr) & then vanish

An apt comment. Do clubs go with a long term sustainable club by developing juniors and topping up with required recruits or go the quick fix and recruit massively (within the points system).

Which ever way chosen can have flaws. The first by being sustainable and profitable may test the patience of supporters and committees. The second may lead to the boom and bust sequence which has been a feature of local footy over many years...

We can probably all name coaches that have gone to clubs, bought in heaps of players, had a bit of success and three years later the club is broke, the coach and players leave and a new committee picks up the pieces and starts all over again.

Unfortunately for country footy, with shrinking populations in many areas, the new school teacher, bank manager, Elders rep, policeman and nurses husbands have become a thing of the past

That's not what I am implying at all ninja. Good recruiting and junior development is part of every successful club. I am just saying IMO the extremes Yank has gone to with their recruiting this season isn't really what country footy is all about and I can't see it doing the club any good in the long term. I may be proven wrong, only time will tell, and I wish Yank all the best if that's how they want to do it. There is nothing written 'between the lines' in my post.
