BL&G Football League

[Pinch Hitter]

Players like Andrew Bevis, Paul Vandenberg will play up forward...Craig Fowler and Casey Schell are two of Souths better defenders and they did not play...

If these guys are South Gawlers launch pad for a tilt at the 2009 premiership i dont think there is much threat AGAIN from the boys at Evanston.

The mighty Craig Dawe coached Tigers will be too Ferocious for South i am afraid.

Paccy any idea who Dawe has install to fill nikaluas shoes at FF this year?

Pinch Hitter Craig Dawe has already shown at this stage of his coaching career he is very much about smoke and mirrors and using illusions to create opportunity.

What i can gather is Craig is opting for a small forward line with Jenner , Hahn , Taylor and Scott to produce winning scores week in week out. All of these boys are kicking bags on any given Saturday, just depends which one brings his A game to the park.

Also i expect we havent heard the last of the Glen Graham fiasco. The 6ft 6 hulk figure put in a solid pre season at Tiger land but was refused clearance from Willaston. If young Spoofy Graham was released it would of free'd up Heberlee to play up forward and create some major headaches.

With Willastons ruck problems maybe Rian Nelson would be welcomed back to Elliot Goodger reserve with open arms. How would the Willaston faithfull feel about that Hitman?

So Dawe's forward line is going to consist of Hahn 'Solo' and a bunch of ewoks by the sounds.

WFC should stick to the rules and Graham to should find himself another kennel to lie in.

I'm not sure that sponge is the solution wfc are looking for.

Why did they decline the clearance out of interest???

He's a wfc local.

Not the first time Willaston have held back clearances.

Andrew Frackowski was a recent victim.

reasonable on baller, maybe an ok back flanker, NOT a key pos defender tho!!!!!

Mate, i dont know how much BLG you watched last year but Schell held down CHB all last year for south...he never played on the ball! fighting out of his weight division each time... probably only got beaten once against Coghill, but held the likes of Commane, Britton, Brady and Casey Thomas goaless!!

well played against him last week, played either with him or against him since under 15s, and if hes your best option at chb then gee, not having a dig at him at all but hes pretty small to be holding down a key position. keeping chf's goaless is no good if they take 30 marks at half forward to help move it inside 50 is it? if he beats them then fantastic for him and south cos like you said he is well out of his weight!!

my mail suggests that bloke was given an open clearance due to his rather sticky off-field indiscretions.

wfc have been very flexible in the past, ivan silvy a recent one that comes to mind, should never have let that bloke get away he was a dynamo..

Not sure about that Pinch, i recall Andrew watching from the sidelines against your boys due to a clearance issue.

Silvy did create some headaches for Milky's defensive plans at times. Was suprised to see him leave and suit up with the Dogs.

I couldnt imagine Brad Taylor getting cleared to a rival club in the BL&G without a fair bit of compensation.

But Graham is no Brad Taylor...

Plus why does being a local matter if he should be cleared or not...

If he is financial, then he owes the club nothing, he obviously doesnt want to play there so why do they want to keep him???

A club being able to deny a clearance to another BLG club for no other reason than that the player in question played with them first is rediculous, in fact its like primary school games.... If the first club looked after the player in the first place, then they wouldnt have any issues would they!

And Pac-man, same would go for Taylor if he wanted to leave to another club, if hes financial, then in theory he owes the club nothing, his service has been fantastic, so if he choose to leave (which isnt the case, just the example), good luck to him...

In these cases the argument is always loyalty, but that is a personal issue with the player in question, its more a show of their personality, but it is NOT a reason to deny a clearance...

The BLG system has a local player status rule i.e. the club does not have a to clear a player to another club within the system.

Its a good system to prevent the stronger clubs from poaching the best talent from the others, mates and success play a big part in a players decision making.

What player wouldn't want to be offerred an A Grade gig at tanunda at the moment would only need to have one mate in the club and off he could go?

Pac- in the case of andrew, i doubt he wanted to play against wfc anyway would of had his head ripped off, not that it didn't happen anyway.

Just get cleared to a club out of the league, then get cleared to the club in BL&G they want to go to, would that work?

Isn't that the Graham situation. Didn't he leave Willaston and go to Kilburn and now is looking to come back to gawler centrals. I think the rule that you can leave the BLG for 2 years and come back to what ever club you like is out the window

Johny i think there is a time frame (2 seasons?) that needs to expire before the player can be cleared back into the league with another club.

Ive looked into the system in the BL&G and reckon its a pretty good1. theres alot of player poaching within my comp(YP) and their trying address it with a points system to prevent it.

[Johnny Bowla]

Fair enough, wasn't sure how the system worked. our league (RFL) has a points system, has had mild success.

No there is no timeframe you can only play at one club in the league but there is a clause for clubs to come to mutual agreements so its up to the clubs to work it out between themselves.

Its pretty clear and is a good rule, if the original club believes you are a required player and has a spot for you then thats where you play if they don't then they usually don't have problem approving the clearance.

Any chance Ben Walton will get cleared from Willaston Pinch Hitter ?

I know he has been the GC fitness coach over the pre season and has the boys fitter then a mallee bull. He is rumored to suit up against Renmark. The ex Saint would be more then welcomed into the Black & Gold.

Ask Dimer Steinert how to get cleared.
I think the only way to get around the rule is to be a coach or pay $$
