Port Noarlunga got flogged by Willunga

Observer is it true that porties have picked up a ex crows rookie listed ruckman and that mannion is now playing

Haha you boys should know the observer isnt gonna talk his side up on here !! He will only make out they are struggling .... just like his outs in the messenger .... half of those guys were hacks and he made them out to be major losses.... Porties will still have a decent side and they have been offering a bit of coin lately so they will probably jag some lazy talent who are chasing money and not wanting to do a pre season

[Big Dog]

Any one no how Lameroo went against Marion on the weekend?

[Cheech]

Any one no how Lameroo went against Marion on the weekend?

I hear Lameroo won by 6 goals or so.... Rodney Maynard in fine form!!!

[carey]

i heard from a lameroo bloke 2nite at training they just won it was a good game .

[THE BOSS]

If Meuret can get a handful of players from westies or the bays it certainly would help morphy's, but they still would have a long way to go Madrooster.

Morphy's with no foward, what happen to Michael Thomas heard he was going to either Ironbank or Maccesfeild chasing the $$$$$, he kicked a few goals for them last year.

Which game did you play in VC ?

[the observer]

I would not call Simon Peacock, Tom Booth, Cam Mackinon, Travis Tedmanson, Ben Stokes,
Nathan Sinclair etc as hacks the others may be replaceable but for a club struggling with numbers all these others are important for depth.
No to a ex Crows rookie and Manion is training but was never listed as not playing

[BJ Ernest]

heard from someone pat walton has red hair!!
hahahaha

definately boss, still be a long way off! morphies need forwards yes, but they need guys to get it to them first which has been a huge problem for them over the past several yrs. i personally think a big problem for them is these old guys ( no names) still playing on the ball might be getting alot of touches through the centre, but around the ground there players r givin them a bath. they might get in the best for morphies, but there opposition player is gettin best on ground too and they're winnin by 15+goals.
i heard thomas signed at macci last week, not on as much coin as wat morphys through at him ive heard though.

How can you throw coin at Michael Thomas?!? Very ordinary player and only kicked goals against the very bottom sides, which anybody can do!! Seems like Morphy Parks are throwing coin at the wrong blokes again.

[croc11]

You just don't see Morphett Vale, Reynella, Happy Valley and Brighton throwing money at the Thomases and other players of this ilk of the footy world. Throw in Cove now in this mix as well. It is just stupid and really short sighted to offer these lads the coin they are seeking. It is the club's fault for doing this and whilst Morphy Park for example are trying to be competitive, we all know that they have thrown money at some lads who can't make Ressies for one of the bottom league clubs. And the money is around the $150+ mark. Now this club will come back and say rubbish - but we all know that this is the case because we have all been talking to the same sort of players....And there is no angst from many of us in missing out on these lads, because you are never going to offer these lads that money. So once again clubs try and buy their way out of the Bottom couple, but when it doesn't work, you end up pushing the proverbial uphill and we have the same old arguments once again. Until clubs realise that if you don't have a quality junior system and other decent structures in place, then you should be looking at other options for your club ie. lower levels of Amateur league where you can be competitive. Let's face the reality - will Aldinga, Hackham, Morphett Vale and Lonsdale ever challenge for a Premiership. Certainly in the next 10 years - you would say NO CHANCE - so if your charter is to be the best club that you can aspire to, then you are letting the whole club down (members, supporters and players) and why would you really persist if you know that you are only ever going to make a final 8 once in a blue moon as well. You may well get a really decent crop of players for a short while because they may enjoy this for 1-2 years, but if there is no success forthcoming, then all of these players will leave on mass and guess what - you get 40 goal drubbings once again. Anyway - this is my take on the footy world. $$$$ are always welcome to a footy club, but if you want to give players $$$ then they would want to be match winners. Otherwise why waste the coin when you could spread it around and give to the loyal kids who want success for your club.

[comeon]

croc11 every club at same stage will struggle some worst then others.Happyvalley from1985-1991 struggled and coped some big loses just like aldinga hackham and other.In 1992 they spent alot of money on a good coach and 10-15 new players and had a very
successful era that is still going to day.I played juniors there and at that stage the junior teams were not very competitive at all.But over time with same success happy valleys junior program got better so what i am trying to say is clubs have to start same where and if a thomas can make you 2 goals better thats a start

I think there is every chance that Morphett Vale will challenge again and again

(sorry I know you meant Morphy Parks)

[Buff]

the shoes have learnt....they have some good numbers coming through the junior ranks.....giving their c grade the flick is another good move as they would not push up and help in the magoos.

Come on Buff , how can giving the C grade the arse be good for the club and the competition ??? I would always look forward to supporting our C's whenever i could and knocking back a few cold Southwark Bitters .

The more teams at football club means more dollars back over the bar and back into the club .

[Backliner]

I think he's referring to the 'cancers' of a club, sit back and criticise because their ego's tell them they're hard done by. Often have beers with other players spreading bullshit through club. We got rid of one this year / late last year.

how did those 4 clubs get out of the quagmire!!!
there wouldnt be a club in oz that has been struggling & offerd good coin to someone to help them out.
maybe these lower clubs get more value out of spendin $150 for 4 half decent dudes than spending $400, $500 on 1 player that would give u stuff all coz hes never had to go find the red rock.

Agreed, I played 50 C Grade for the Shoes and one year we were turning over more money for the club on a Sunday night than the As and Bs were on a Saturday, and most of us would go out to the As and Bs on Saturday to support them as well as helping young kids come through the ranks and also give a run to A and B graders who had to work on a Saturday.
Can't see how its a good thing.
I was asked to play B Grade a couple of times and refused for many reasons. I did play one trial for the Bs against McLaren though, the kids were stoked as they thought their dad was playing against the Crows!

been that way for a long time at morphys... thomas can play though got great hands, very quick and a great kick... forwards cant kick goals against the good sides at morphies cause the ball doesnt get down the forward lines!!!
