Ditmar still applied for the job.
Apparently the vote was a fair landslide in Westley's favour.
How can you replace a coach that takes a club from 3 wins to 11 wins?
So CN, do you think A.Lloyd and N. Rover will still play?
And lastly, nothing against Westley, but how can you expect support from players that you spent the last 2 years playing against and plotting their downfall?
I think that the return of both Arrod and his dad to the A grade team is great for the club.
A lot of the old faces will start to return.
It is sad that Ditty wasn't given another year, because he always said he wanted to do it for 2 years.
But having said that, if Arrod can keep most of this year's players, plus the ones he's bringing, Paringa should be reasonably strong next year.
As for getting player respect, I don't think it will be too hard.
Just talking to the lad you can see how keen he is and how much he wants the club to succeed.
Have heard Ramco have a big player influx for 2009.
Will be very tough to beat methinks.
