SAAFL Div 5 & 5R (2010)

[mighty hounds]

we dont pay any players at elizabeth

do u honestly think those guys from south gawler will be coming over for free haha yeh right.

they are coming to play with mates i think you will find my friend. you just worry about blackfriars and we will look after us

don't worry apparentaly every one knows what other clubs are doing... i know 1000000000000% plympton don't pay but all these outsiders think we do...

beleive me im not worrying about elizabeth. i just dont think quaility BLG footballers will be coming to play div 5 for free

[Greenshields27]

you do realise that coach spent a few years at south gawler. and we had two guys from souths last year

[Bigshow82]

I hear Elizabeth are a chance of snaring a very good player from Salisbury West........last years captain I think. Would be a huge pick up for Elizabeth if it happens imo.

if its the same guy hopefully we sign him tonight when he comes down for a interview...

Are the initials DH Robran. Great player and a solid unit. I hear he has a few mates out there that he is keen to play with again.

scotty mac was Westies captain last year.. he wont go to a club without some coin.. 60 odd goals B n F and team of the year

I think you will find Scotty Mac was captain whilst this guy was injured

Agree with you there mighty hounds the boys from south wouldn't be playing for nothing but I can see why the boys have left South. Every year South promises the world and delievers nothing. Casey Schell, Ronny Lee and Lee Makris have been quality BL&G footballers for many years and Jake McVicar and Scotty Evans are more than handy footballers. Plus gun former lion benny hailday coming out retierment to play at Elizabeth the south gawler boys probably feel that Elizabeth there best club to play finals and have a crack at a flag.

Is Makris a definite? I heard Schell, McVicar and Ronnie Lee all are, but not sure about Makris.

Elizabeth dont pay players! Players come to us.
Elizabeth is a great club. and players have a lot of respect for our club. Elizabeth has had a big change in Committee over past few years. We got some youngish guys/gals who are optimistic, love the club and want to bring the club into new millennium and not happy to dwell in lower divisions. they are proactive and things get done. Whereas previously that may not have been the case.
Also our juniours are having a resurgence. A few years back, could hardly fill teams. No i believe we had 3 sides make Grand Finals! inc Under 15s. I know i get bagged for talking up the Eagles, but look out! Elizabeth will become a major force in the higher divisions in next 5-10 years

Anyone that has their doubts about the culture at Argana park. Go to the club and have a drink U may be surprised. Im now free from my work committments on saturdays, so ill be down there a lot more in 2010 thankfully

[catchisthecry]

So any new on the clubs coming down from Division 4 .We all know the two team coming up from 6 will be good teams in Div5 2010

I believe Adelaide Lutheran will field a very similar side in 2010 that they did in 09. They are a club who traditionally find it hard to attract players so won't be lining up any 'guns' like everyone else seems to be, but were by no means uncompetitive in Div 4 on their day this year so should be fairly competitive still in Div 5 I would think. North Haven are unknown because of all the talk about who is in and out at that place so I'd hate to speculate on them...

We've lost 1 or 2 from this year, getting 3-4 2007 GF players back, got a few names flying around and a coach from the South East with plenty of contacts.
We'll be alright.
Duncs needs to take the foot of the turbo - heard lots of clubs with awesome sides in October before!

Wasnt predicting a Cup in 2010. Just very confident club is on the rise as a whole. Not just a gun A grade side.

[catchisthecry]

Bit nervous about playing Elizabeth next year are we mate?

I know i get bagged for talking up the Eagles, but look out!

ha ha mate. just having a crack.
Let's face it, we don't know **** til the sides run out for Rd. 1

Yep, he (DH) would be a very handy addition to a Div 5 side.

When I started the topic of Elizabeth enticing the players with coin I wasn't attacking Elizabeth the club, I haven't played against them in about 6 or 7 years but in the few years I did I never had a bad word to say about them, the players played in a good spirit the facilities were good and the club people were friendly but that is beside the point, why is it that every club claims to pay no players yet every player that changes clubs claims to be getting paid, i reckon it is a bit of stretching the truth in both cases.
My club North Haven have paid a few players over the last few years in order to get our club up higher divisions like what you are trying to do with Elizabeth and we were open about it and everybody is still getting stuck into us about it and have been exagerating it ever since. Unfortunately it all came unstuck and we were relegated for the 1st time in 27 years for a careless appointment.

I didn't think Luckys body could take another year - in fact his body hasn't been able to take it in the 10 years I've known him

Broken Arm this year, badly broken nose last year to name some of his recent injuries, these are just the ones that needed surgery. Plus the knock to his ego when Roo kicked 10 or 11 on him I think he is just spending more time with his young family, will still be around the place and is still pretending to be a cricketer

Take it easy, He made a well compiled duck on the weekend

In fact, you would have liked to have the minor round finish after Round 1 this year - a cracking win over a much talked about Greenacres (IIRC) - it made everyone stop and look

That is the biggest crock of shit i've ever heard...

[One Eyed]

who is coaching Luthies.?? if he is from the south east and bringing guys they play for nothing those boys.

[sprinttospace]

so what's the definition of 'paying players'?

there are many ways and means and if more than one is used in a club then differnet people will know what's going on and others may think they know what's going on. its been a topic of discussion around our place for the last 12 months.

so which one is it when everyone talks about paying players on here?

(1) written agreement with player with set amount and terms of payment
(2) sponsor who gives to the club and the club in turn to the player without a specific written agreement
(3) free drinks and food at the club, no subs to be paid, don't pay to be at social events
(4) player cash awards at after match preso's
(5) player comes to club and gets a job through a club connection
(6) etc etc
