SAAFL Div 1 2008

[BUZZ]

I heard he was about to take up a special coaching role with the wingfield royals

Well, Rosies have picked up alot of there players, maybe he went on the sly there late last year and poached them over.......

[BUZZ]

Why would he be waiting for Hodges?
He won't be coaching anywhere this year.
A whisper about him too is he may be moving to QLD i got told yesty.

I heard Hodgy may play a cameo role at Rosewater this year, his mate Cainsy is back playing there and has asked if he could help out from time to time????????[/quote]

Would that be Tideman Medalist, Robert Cains ?[/quote]
Sure is mate, i think its on display at the Lakes at the moment [/quote]

excuse my ignorance, but what is the Tideman Medal?[/quote]
A4 reserves mate, is the lid of a coke can

[Felch]

I heard Cains had moved to New Guinea and was working as a cassowary hunter, must have got too dangerous for him

[NO-MERCY]

Heard Hodges would be making a cameo role along with David Brown with Paringa in the Riverland.
Former Port Adelaide player Mark Dittmar is coach there and has pretty strong ties with both.
Could be a load of shite though!

I thought aload of sh!t when i heard it to BD.

[Baron Greenback]

Me too NM, me too.
But is the talk going around up here...

[LovinFooty]

yep MERCY youree right. Burgess top shelf coach. Broady players have all to answer for. Burgess himself probably one of best coaches in a1 but all you said was spot on 101%. players like (wont mention them all) let down burgess and the club not the coach. he was an excellent coach without the playing stock and the players he did have had the discipline of a a6 club player

oh come on name the player/s! i definitely know of player with initials A.N. who started playing their last season only plays for himself!

and with himself too i might add!

had a warning from moderators for naming someone the other day and cant take that risk
got to be a good little boy or "off with his head" - would like to but u no how it is

have heard ashley nourse has left broadview and signed with bute on the YP - $300 sign on fee + $250 a game! can anyone confirm he has left broadie's? is he worth this much?

Can confirm he has left Broadview. As for the payment it is grossly too much, he was a fringe A grader last year with severe attitude problems. I think Bute will find out they have picked up a dud pretty quickly.

As for the previous Broadview coach, its ok to be a good coach and have a great game plan, but if you do not have a back up plan you are in trouble. Thats where i hear he lost the players confidence when he could not take constructive critisism about his game plan and coaching techniques. Neither defending him or attacking him, but if he is as good as everyone is saying, why was he not picked up by other clubs this year before accepting a desk job at Westies.

[LovinFooty]

yeah by the sounds of things ashley nourse might be one of those players that change clubs every year because the club work out that they are an absolute waste of time! not before paying the player $$$$ though!

there should be a website like the cheating partners site and call it football sl*ts! then clubs could go on there and determine wether they sign a bloke up or not!

It sounds like something that Ash would do. Went chasing the $$'s from TTG to Broadview and upset a lot of team mates. Not a good reputation at TTG or Broadview, and who else in the SAAFL A1 would have him now? It would make sense to him to change leagues.

To pay an unfaithful fringe player like that $250 per game is insane. They must have more dollars than sense!!

[LovinFooty]

hey BigDaddy will you confirm or deny report coming out ot TTG that there is definitely a few players leaving because the coach has been retained??

i can name some players if you like?

I heard mark weaver is not a bad bloke! what has he done wrong?

[BigDaddy]

First I have heard of it!! We have lost a couple of fringe players and that's it. Weaver is a top bloke and the blokes love having him as coach.

If you have names that would be great. Even PM me if you don't want to mention them on here, but I will let you know either way.

des vertawateverhisnameis, gibson, noske - i know you will say they are training with a league club but apparently if they don't make it out there they're not going back to TTG!

is just what i've heard - not trying to stir things up - i know a few players out at the gullies!

Dessy has gone overseas, so he isn't playing next year. Gibbo and Noske are both training the house down and will definitely be in the red and black next year. All signed, sealed and delivered.

gibson and noske given up their league aspirations? so just wicks and dessy gone so far?

who are the fringe players that have left? you can PM me if you don't want to name them on here!

[BigDaddy]

I guess nothing is really 'official' until the clearances open on Monday, but looks like Thompson could be heading to Gepps Cross. Played in a back pocket for us.

i heard they are paying him $200 a game - $200 for a back pocket player? is he that good BigDaddy?

from all reports he bled red & black for the gullies! a few were surprised that he would actually leave! did something happen on the footy trip??

[BigDaddy]

nice fishing LF. What happens on the trip, stays on the trip!!

As for the $$'s... well, that's up to Gepps Cross isn't it.

[aceman]

Boys, not sure where you get your info from but let me assure you, $200 for Luke Thompson is rubbish. I would have thought you guys would be wise enough to work out that all players tend to stretch their value to the max whether it is for their ego or to suck others in to thinking silly thoughts. Realistic numbers please

[BigDaddy]

hence the reason that I didn't comment Ace. I couldn't agree with you more..
