SAAFL Div 1 & Div 1R (2011)

[piccachu]

just read on the Great Southern board that Ken McGregor has signed with encounter bay!?
big loss for Henly. or was this expected?

yea spoke to a mate who plays for them last night and said they will be getting somewere between 8-12 games out of him due to commitments to Glenelg seconds

Some big losses there! Hope their B grade were strong last season! Tyles might have to put the boots on again!

Players probably sick of being yelled and sworn at. Not the smartest page in the book MT.

Who's he coaching, Men or boys with their mummy's standing around the huddle ?
I'd yell and swear too if I had to go to that sh*thole every week

[bulldogs]

i believe the rams are really struggling, is there a crisis meeting there?

I'm told all losses covered. Actually found some players that aren't injury prone and can front up and play a full game!

can these players you have found play the game? stocks are low. i used to say if you lose 8 and your in the bottom half you need to pick up 12

You'll find plenty of players like that in Amateur League, as soon as a bloke with SANFL or AFL experience enters Amateurs to coach he quickly finds out the ones who still want to be fed with a silver spoon!

If I didn't know better I'd say you might be one who has left to go elsewhere. A couple who have left couldn't play either, some by design and some because they were injured a lot of the time.
Not sure on either your info or your theory. Let the season take it's course eh! Come back in August 2011 for further discussion.

mate never played footy for gepps, my info is from a very good source and theory well if your in the bottom half you cant afford to lose to many players. im lead to believe there wasnt much respect for the former coach judging by his depature and the rumours that swept the place. i wonder who started them and as for injured players sometimes you just cant help bad luck.

[bombers5]

Is Matthew Phillips staying at Salisbury North next season? How many have they actually lost? Cutting, Jordan, Pape, Hazeldine, Mardling, Walker, Laurencic have all been mentioned

there has been mention of matty moving on but i dont think anything is set in stone, mardling walking and Laurencic definatly gone, also heard brad and Mick Hood along with a couple of other fringe players looking for new homes

There fringe players should stay there in my opinion and the club should do the best to keep them because it gives them the opportunity to step up because you learn more as player and as club when your backs against the wall, then when your front runners. Thats how you find the trully loyal club people and great players.

I think you need a footy club culture first before you can have club people, I don't see it, just look at the way they treat their C grade.

Okay so you're good mates with one who has chosen to go elsewhere. No club can afford to lose players, it happens every year in most clubs but it's only November.
As for your last bit, that was the coaches call, noone else and footy clubs survive on rumours, nothing new with that bit.
They may have been started by the same person for all we know. Injuries, yep but some people seem to get more than others which is unfortunate, nought can be done about that.

what a load of crap footy clubs survive on rumours, some of the rumours mentioned can destroy friendships, marriages and families. the club should of stood up and found out who started the gossip and arsed them out of the club. why would the coach start them about himself, the more i hear the more it sounds to me that someone with in the DFR walls started them. anyway im not good mates with anyone at the club just hate to see clubs shit on people especially after good service has been given.

Bulldogs, there's a rule of thumb that should be used with this type of thing;

Believe half of what you hear and very little that you read, that saves a lot of worry for everyone. If there is evidence of "rumour mongering" within a club seek out the source and address it.
In acemans defence, be hard to find a club of any sort where the rumour mill doesn't slip into overdrive every so often. Forums like Facebook I believe are used to perpetuate the rumours IMO

Districts are big on club culture aren't they mate
Are the C Grade allowed in the building yet or are still only permitted under the verandah?
