Check the facts
Maybe the directors gave 8 and 7 Imports
Check to see how many Barossa actually had in the 2 premiership years
Freeling were the ones who used all their allocation, which by the way was more than Barossa
Cheers

i notice u didnt refute the fact that nelson should get the credit for those premierships or that oconnor failed in his attempt to lift kilburn out of the doldrums without nelson doing everything for him

I wasn't that close to the scene during the week but i do speak to the players often most give the credit to the team of Nelson/ O Connor.

Osama, what is happening with Shane Carman?

Apparently the stupid prick fell off a bar stool and broke his wrist.
Hope he didn't spill his beer.

Interesting that Barossa called a special meeting to ask that Turner be allowed local status after he was shown the door by Sturt a few years ago. Barossa cut him from the registered list and then reapplied for his registration only to be knocked back. The application was based on the fact that he was buliding a house in the area and all other clubs should allowing him to play. What a crock of S#*#. If he was building a house then it should be finished by now and he should be playing!!!

I think there is a difference between the declared imports and the imports that "live in the area"

Any comments?

To the best of my Knowledge, Turner was never building a house in the area, he was going to be an import, The mistake was made when Turners name was removed from the Registered player list just before the cut off date, I think Jason was always going to return to the club if he didn't make it at Sturt.. He was to play as an import.. he will never play the the club again as he was upset by the mistake made.

Queen Vic.
I read your post and want to say MOVE ON. It was not the best thing that happened to the old A grad coach but it happened. I think the club is think of the NOW and could see that Nelson was not the man. It will all come out half way in the season of 2010 if getting rid of Nelson was the way to go. If you are a member of the club then you should move on and get over it. Be a member of the club and trust the people that are running the club, Don't just sit under your empty tent and spit the dummy. I am no way a fan of the Bulldogs but this is over and this club has made the move, I want to see what will be going on to the other clubs at season end.

Becareful what you say Queen Vic might be the bulldogs president after the AGM, might see James' contract ripped to shreds and nelson re-instated.

[Stewie Griffin]

It was a great shame that Turner wasn't able to come back and try to defend his
'Biggest tool in the league award'. Williamstown housing prices rose the moment he announced he wasnt returning.
Seems like a tumultuous time at Barossa Districts, hope they can hang on to the likes of
Commane, Scrubber Taylor, Christie and Sharpy, they are the guys to build a side around.
Got to say a big congrats to 'Nickers' Reimann from Ango, word is he will play his 250th this week,
Hasn't hit the mark at 30 like Sammy Ryan but to be holding his own at 63 or whatever he is, is a very admirable effort.
Bravo big fella, hope the boys can bring home a win for you.
Wouldn't think any less of 'Ollie' Seelander if he had his boys roll-over in honour of the man this week.
The Ango machine really clicked into gear in the first half on Saturday....Daunting.....
Don't say you weren't warned about a big finish to the season.
Good to see Basco got through unscathed on Saturday, had an interesting arvo,
Kicked a very nice goal, gave away 50m, tried to use his left foot and grazed the MIR space station with his effort,
Finished with 2 and looked like he had more to offer.
Just the cherry on top for the Panthers.

[Pac-Man]

Word is that Christie and Commane are staying, both not happy with the recent events, Sharp to retire, if that is true he deserves the his last game to be honoured, V Willaston, The Stelzers will return and were going to return if Nelson was still at the helm. I think wih the side we can put together we should return to the four, Nobody blames James for this, Nelsons didn't deserve to be sacked

James has promised to bring Pearce from Kersbrook.... He may have won a medal a few years back

Queen Vic. What is the word out of the Kennel why Nelson was shown the door ?

He was a decoarated player both with Willaston & Barossa Districts and only into his second year in the top job. If he was the mastermind behind the two premierships and aire to the thrown what went wrong after 1 and half seasons ?

Not 100% sure, there seem to be some lies that I can't get to the bottom off, Haven't spoke to Sponger but one of the players old me that the board couldn't say no to Roger James when a past player told the club Roger wanted to coach. I have heard that a board member had told Rian three weeks earlier that he was re appointed for 2010. There has been some lies around that Stelzers had a fall out with Rian, there Dad said that no truth to that. There has been other players names talked about as leaving if Nelson stayed, The players i have spoke to have said not true but i haven't spoke to the player told to me as the one..

I have read over the time Pac man you have hung some S#it on Sponger and that the nature of the forum, but without wanting to sound condersending he changed my ex club around,

Not sure if and where i ever hung shit on Nelson (i presume thats sponger) but as a general i dont hold alot of respect for the Barossa Districts Football Club. Barossa has been the whipping boys of the comp for the majority of there tenor in the BL&G and there facilities , culture or lack of it makes the club hard to like.

Again thats just my opinion and thats what these discussion boards are all about.

I thought previous coach, Oconnor was the mastermind behind the 2 premierships ? sure he had a open cheque book and half a side of imports to maufacture those premierships but he still had to steer the ship. Something your boy Nelson wasnt able to do. You are the expert on your " ex club , please enlighten us on how a individual can turn a club around and be shown the door all in couple of years ?

[FREO]

Pac Man you say about barossa not having facilities coulture etc, I think you would find that most clubs in the BLG would prefer to travel to Williamstown than go to the dog track and mix it with the great bunch of people you have. Yeh barossa had been strugling in past years but when was the last flag you blokes won? Your make shift ground and facilities are a joke.

[Pinch Hitter]

I always found it interesting that gawler centrals don't have a toilet in the visitors changerooms, i've had to leave the odd surprise package for the cleaners there a few times.

[Stewie Griffin]

Doesn't seem right to be hangin the brown stuff on Barossa for having success with imports a couple of years back,
Would be going back a while to find a premiership side that had little or no import influence.
I know the year we (Ango) snatched one in 2003, we wouldn't have gone close without Spanagel, Green and Bascombe.
Also, don't understand why the Gawler Rec centre got a massive upgrade/revamp and not one tradie managed to slip into the football
areas and bring it up to third world standard.
Only real problems at Williamstown now are the 'Car capacity', which is roughly 12, and the average monthly hours of unbroken sunlight , which is .006.
Why the league couldn't wait 2 or 3 more weeks for the 4 to sort itself out and then allocate the 1st semi to Nuri and the 2nd semi to Ango.
Not biased, but these have to be the best 2 'Viewing' grounds we have, with car space and atmosphere to boot.

Unfortuantely for the fossil i doubt there is going to an arm chair ride this week, not it that it will matter anyway Angaston will only have the usual one car full of hillbillies there to support them.

I think Barossa winning the last half might be an indication for hadden that Basco is only holding that team back.

willaston had no imports in 99, don't know how many GC had in 2001.

as for the finals distribution, leaving it till the last minute doesn't give the clubs hosting the games time to organise enough people to help.

I'd have to agree with you Stewie, Nuri and Ang do have a lot of car space and good viewing areas, at least much better than Tanunda and Barossa. As for the grand final, I think Freeling is a sensible place to hold the game. They have that will on the outer side that could easily fit three cars deep, plus all that room on the smaller oval. Also i believe it is also one of the best watching grounds in the league as well. Surely the best canteen !!!!

[Pag]

After seeing all the grounds in the area a couple of weeks ago (bar Kapunda), I personally thought Angaston had the best physical set-up. Obviously I couldn't get into the changerooms or clubrooms, but from a general drive around each oval, Angaston would be my favourite.

[Stewie Griffin]

Pag, now here is a man that knows what he is talkin about, Well played sir.

Did someone earlier bring out that always clever remark about Angaston 'Hillbillies'?,
How humorous.....It's funny though that a hillbilly is generally an ugly gun toting mongo with few teeth, never bathes,
and completely unemployable.....Hmmm, sounds more like a Gawler-ite to me.
Surely, a car full of hillbillies would be welcomed at a Gawler ground anyway, for it would nearly triple crowd numbers.

[brook]

Just wanting to know a few things about the Barossa situation, there is a lot being said and was wondering how much truth is being put out on this discussion board.

Firstly though, Nelson being a decorated player at Willaston and Barossa Districts, what the?

What sponsors are pulling out?
Over the top cost of James, if so how much is he supposedly getting?
What other coaches are apparently quitting?
What players are not returning?

James promising to bring Pearce from Kersbrook is completely untrue, Pearce is a born and bred Kersy boy and something pretty huge would have to happen for him to leave I would think as his father is the President of the club, not saying it couldn't happen.

If anyone has some real truth and proof about these questions, I would love to hear it.

[The Gimp]

Yeah, but even his father plays for another club!!!!

Div 7 Reserves and SuperFools is the the only grade 52 year olds can play in Gimp so that's why he is there!

Brook's comment on Brad Pearce is spot on. Dual Mail Medalist, has played at Kersbrook all his life (bar SANFL stints at Norwood and North), lives in Kersbrook, son of the Prez, his brother is the 'A' grade skipper at Kersbrook, and all his mates are there too. Roger would have been smart enough not to have promised Barossa that he would get Pearce's signature.

[Pinch Hitter]

Here's your winners this week chaps -

Willaston by 4 goals - the Don Wagon is just starting to hit full speed, lucky for Ango there's only 2 games left
Tanunda by 15 goals - south to find out how big the mountain is
Centrals by 7 goals - easy win
Nurioopta by 12 goals - the poor old leggies will enjoy this beating more than any other game this year
