SA Footy

Galbraith Robertson Francis Parks Knaggs and Pearce all not playing?

Which Parks? Three of them were there because of Covid cancelling their season this year. Knaggs has gone to play back at home in Tantanoola.

I’m hearing Kyle isn’t playing

Unsure if he will or not, was just made a life member so if the club was struggling for numbers I can't see him not playing.

It seems the rumours are not rumours anymore. @Morrell has the club issued their statement yet?

Seems the whispering walls of the Woolshed strike again. Bit rough on two coaches who made finals to be sacked.

Let's be real, it was basically impossible to not make finals in this Div

No statements will be made until all of the coaches (As and Bs) have been spoken to and the season reviewed.

Because that's the respectful and decent thing to do.

So you are saying the decent thing to do is to make a decision on the coaches before the club has reviewed the season? Interesting way to look at it.

We were planning on having the review in person first but then some utter pin dicks decided to sprout private and confidential discussions publicly and on here, meaning the process we were following had to be rejigged.

Once the club has a formal position sa footy will be the first to know. Anyone stating anything before that is simply rumour mongering and gossiping, and are being completely unfair to the individuals involved.

So you were having a review but a decision was already made. If you wanted the opportunity to speak to him first you shouldn’t have players talking about it before he knows. I don’t understand why you don’t just say it as it is that the coach was blindsided by some people in the playing group. You know that’s what happened.

I'm not engaging with you on this any further. Have fun.

The last thing I will say is, the coach wasn’t told of a decision made last Thursday so he could attend the B&F as the A grade coach where he spoke about next year and moving forward with the group. Even though that was never happening regardless of your review. Talk about making a guy look like a mug.

Im with you old mate,sacked over the phone last night,very classy Mitchell Park.

I’m following this Mitchell Park saga with great interest. Play on.

On another note, I’d like to congratulate old mate morell on being awarded life membership on Saturday night at the club he loves more dearly than most others love theirs. A fantastic recognition to a loyal, dedicated and most deserving Lion champion.

Was their coach Alex Kangur? If so, really nice young lad, thought he did well and had respect of the players. Disappointing if it was handled this way by the Club!

Big honor, congratulations @morell

Thanks mate. They got me a good one. Was supposed to speak about Matthew Davidson being given the nod and had that all prepared, but turned into an absolute blubbering mess and could barely mutter a word - bit embarassing. What that man has done for the club considering all that's going on in his world is nothing short of incredible. No one more deserving.

Then they gave me the nod too. Bastards.

I don't care what anyone says, Mitchell Park is an important and special place. It's not for everyone, granted, but for those that are lucky enough to have it part of their lives it becomes so much more than a location where people kick and catch a ball. For me the people in that room Saturday are family. It is the greatest honour of my life.

Can't forget the beautiful Anjuli Weekley too, who has slaved away behind the scenes as treasurer for over a decade. The third female life member in our history.

Mitchell Park

I'm available if your looking for a new coach
