SAAFL Div 5 & 5R (2010)

[One Eyed]

my phone is on ha ha ha kidding

[Jugs]

Any news on coaching appointments at Plympton as yet!
??

obviously not. Looks like no-one of substance is keen as they have advertised again!

Plympton probably have more applicants for the 'C' grade coaching position, cos that's where they believe a club is measured.

[dee man]

must admit that with previuos dealings i have had with the dogs they always came across as very professional and direct in their dealings
my only critism,and its only minor,is that they always seemed to go for someone in house
i think on this occassion they are just looking for the best possible person

[Browny25]

Congratulations to Ian Bellman for winning BLFC's Best and Fairest on Saturady Night

Also special mention to a SA Footy rep in MASHA for taking out the B grade B&F

no.i have had dealings with them in the past and like my previous thread,found them excellent to speak to but they stayed in house.decided against it this time thinking that the same would happen.
very interesting job and if i was plympton for once i would look completely out the box,and come up with some one who is a bit different.personal opion is that the majority of coaches in div 5 are extremly good and coaching below the standard that they could coach at but my one comment is that they are all very simmiliar,to much i think.imo

[Jabber]

Just going through Plympton's last lot of coaches: (from about 1998 below it gets a little hazey but i think i got it right)

From my calculations there have been 5 years in the last 25 where a Plympton person has got the job.

2008-9 S Symonds
2006-7 T Elletson (PFC)
2005 G Pegoraro & S Sinclair (PFC)
2003-4 S Symonds
2000-3 M Elsdon
1999 P Long (PFC)
1997-8 T Potts
1996 J Winton
1995 M Copping
1994 P Harby (PFC)
1993 P Meurett
1992 P Carey
1985-91 T Potts

Your right about their professionality down there, they certainly run it extremely professionally which is great. Sometimes, however, this can be to the detrement of the club because i think when making decisions we need to still take stock of where we are on th pecking order (by way of which division we are in) with regard to coaching appointments and agreements etc.

Having said that it was a very wise move to push the applicant closing date back a few weeks. that i think showed a lot of professionalism (but probably should ahve occured on the first notice in the paper). Coaches, i would think, are not going to agree to terms with a div 5 club when they are still in the mix with coaching appointments in higher grades. And having the late closing date, if the club does find the right choice straight away, they can shut the door and get things rolling. Smart move.

based my statement on my time involved over here.
it wasnt a negative just the way that they came across.one look at your list of coaches also shows that recentlyexcept for potts and elsdon,no coaches have stayed longer than two years,mostly one.from what i hear the doggies have all the potential and talent they need to be successful but just run short.their has to be a reason coaches dont stay long,whether its their choice or the clubs i dont know.i do wish them the best for i think they should be higher than what they are.

interesting that so many had to stand down because of commitments.would have thought that one of the key questions asked would be are you in it for the long haul.seems if that was not asked then the people who run the club should be stood down for getting it wrong so many times

the ones who all stood down were all legit reasons, either work, family or wanted someone more qualified to take over and felt someone else could do a better job..fact.. nothing wrong with committee decisions except for 1 or 2 in the 90's imho... we have a very strong club culture and we are a passionate club... i would have to say one of the biggest followings in D5 if not the biggest... what the committe are doin now is for the best for the club.. this is a massive time for our club and we must do whats best for it, big decision to pick the rite coach... it would be a great time to coach the A's at PFC rite now..

[Jabber]

Cheers WUB but can't remember which one it was, but either Muerett or Carey were sacked by the new comittee after being re-appionted by the previous years comittee, so one of them were not due to work.

I knew after i posted it that i got Pegoraro & Elletson around the wrong way.

i think your spot on... Meuret got the flick and i'm positive carey got a job at coke...

[Bully]

IMO i think 2007/2008 has been the best seasons for us plympton boys.

[Jabber]

2009 was the year, thats when they could/should have taken Div 5 by the balls.

The Prelim that year was... upsetting.

The premiership wasn't even important for Plympton supporters, it was all about going up to Div 4, and i know a lot of past players that were broken hearted after that prelim.

IMO i think 2007/2008 has been the best seasons for us plympton boys.
