SAAFL Div 3 & 3R (2010)

[Flipper]

Jimbo, Felch whats ur views of each of the teams where they went right and where they went wrong. Bit of a wrap up.

So Gerard has put his hand ( DEEP ) into his pocket again to keep him there

Gerard? Is this a cheap shot at Jars?

Doesnt coach for free but $ is not his motivation. Playing under him is an experience of a lifetime. Whatever he is paid it would be easily justified.

I heard somewhere his payment comes via the college system.

The school pay it????? Thats wrong.

The school has no $ left after its rowing program

Mind you the school has spent $ on the oval repairing it and trying to get it to a decent standard. Hopefully the new watering and drainage system that was installed early this year will make an improvement next season.

[Footy Chick]

Now, anyone who thinks CBC the school backs the club to that extent is crazy - footy is not that schools no.1 priority and never has been!

Jimbo, Felch whats ur views of each of the teams where they went right and where they went wrong. Bit of a wrap up.

Ok, i wasnt as heavily involved this year and i only saw some teams once but here goes anyway -

Old Iggies - Recruited spot on to get a flag, with Atkinson, White, Pedlar and co. Still need to improve their depth if they are to even be competitive in D2 - something that needs to be done over a few years. They will be back in D3 in 2012 i feel.
PAOC - Fell over when red hot favourite (AGAIN ), but still in very good nick for D2 next year. Depth would be as good as any club in SAAFL. This just hasnt happened by fluke - some hard work over the last few years has achieved this.
Portland - Great result for the club this year, even though some of the players are still pretty upset with the finish to the year. Core group of players are still very, very young, and showed they can mix it with the best. Will only get better. Grand final appearance within 2 years, hopefully 2011.
Mitcham - Good result for the Hawks this year too. Have really established themselves as a good D3 team, and will get better in 2011 too.
CBCOC - Good side, lost form at wrong time of year. Still a good result to make finals after being promoted. Depth is their downfall, as their top 4-5 players are as good as anyone but their bottom 4-5 players not so strong. Need to top up with some quality recruits to stay with Portland, Mitcham and co.
Seaton - At their best, were excellent. Older side, but have some ok young ones coming through. Really not sure which way they are headed, definately at a crossroad and crucial time for the club.
SMOSH - Similar to Seaton in a lot of ways, but they have a huge amount of depth right through their grades, so with some smart recruiting, should be right back in it again.
Para Hills - Really not sure about them, as i didnt see them at all this year. Would think they will bounce back, but everyone else is improving too.
Scotch - Been on the slide for a year or 2 now. Will be interesting to see how they regroup.
Kilburn - Been in a downward spiral also for a while. New coach has a massive job to turn things around.

Who?

I think(I know they do) you will find the college pays a figure to him which includes part of his OS coaching fee plus he does some coaching at the school

Sorry Aceman, you are incorrect, where does this stuff come from?
Coaching sessions are arranged by us to encourage school kids to play for us when they leave.

serious who cares if cbc pay him a shite load. He is worth it. Good luck to them. Every club pays coaches and players its the modern day. Some clubs pay more then others. You nearly have to fork out coin to be successful these days. With my club and yes its an old scholars we have to fight with clubs like Henley, Port Districts, North Haven, Flinders Park, Lockleys, Seaton and Portland. We cant compete with some of those clubs we just try and make it an environment where the kids from school want to come and play. Wouldnt mind seeing all these ex st micks lads come back would make a powerhouse side. Shoc have shown how to do it. And well done to them

cant see lockleys forking out big dollars, and portland are close to the biggest tight arses in the amatuer league, jarman would be getting more money than the portland coach and all our players put together, and dont get me wrong i think darren jarman is worth every cent, at times i wish my club would do similar to what CBC have done and get a high profile coach.

yeha Lockleys definately paying Zero dollars! Whats somewhat disappointing but sometimes unavoidable for Us (SMOSH) is the St micks old schollars we miss out on, as Schimma said. Henley's grand final side had six ex SMC players playing. Flinders park a grade has 6-8 SMC players. Portland have a couple (i think?), North haven a couple, Port districts a couple.

The Challenge for us is competing with the dollars offered by other clubs by providing an environment where lads want to come back and play with tehir school mates.

The west seem to have so many more clubs then the Eastern suburbs, where players go straight to their old colegiate side PAC, CBC for example. While loyalty to your junior club is admirable, we're trying to make more of an effort to get those Ex SMC kids into our club.

Kilburn - Been in a downward spiral also for a while. New coach has a massive job to turn things around.

Portland - Good side when at their best, but I would onyl question your Depth Felch? Low finsih for the b grade - Your best 21 are Very good, but injuries could derail your Season in 2011.
Old Iggies - I very much doubt they will be anywhere near DIv 3 in 2012. I would suggest they may be somewhere near DIV 1 if rumours are anything to go by!
SMOSH - A pretty damn disappointing season for us. Not a lot of luck from the get go with Injuries/form of key players. Hopefully a few lads from the B grade can step up next season and be good A grade players, and a bit of luck with Injuries would be nice (self included). I'd like to think we'd be in the mix fro a top 3 spot.
Para Hills - They have some incredibly talented footballers, and on ability they should waltz into the finals, but they seem to struggle away from home, and with discipline at times. If they stick to their tasks, improve their away form, and play hard, but fair footy, I think they may be the side to beat next year.

Think you do pretty well out of St micks Turbo, being one of the blokes that could have played for you or gone to my home club, its hard to leave the st micks boys, but unless you play your juniors at SMOSH I didnt feel completely apart of the club, yes I only played 18's there, but you didnt know everyone like ya do at your home club and little things like that!

I reckon 80% of the blokes who were in my year at saint micks (2006) are at smosh now
only guys you dont have would be me, gein, ty duerden, sam hanniford, thats about all I can think of
But you got Foulis, Cibich, White, Edwards, pantelis, Decorso plus plenty of others that are good players.

Other sides like the CBC's and PAC's would have probs about the same percentage i would think??

Not likely picca would you like me to pm you the payment i recieved for being the playing coach of the portland a grade, it was farcical.

Unfortunately for us Fisty, your year was the exception to the rule! And msot of that was down to the hard work OF Chook Foulis, and the fact that they are such a close knit group of lads.

For instance, My year (2004) has four players at the club (from around thirty year twelve footballers), the year above me has none (03)(!!), THE year below (05) has 4 or 5 (but none playing A grade) and as you mentioned 06 was a great year. But if you go to 07, again, Only one or two players.
