where do they get all their cash from Petoe?

[Cheech]

.... Have you seen the price of Aldinga Turkeys lately!!??

.... Have you seen the price of Aldinga Turkeys lately!!??

Exactly so where are they getting the money to pay them??

[the trojan war]

Haha Gold Petoe.

Sickening that you'd pay your players that much money and still be 2nd to bottom.

It would be interesting to see what their plans are for junior development...maybe they should start paying their juniors too!!?

Are you serious?
Teams on the bottom half of the table pay players so they can improve. The players come into the team and youger, less experienced players benefit from it.
The next time you go to aldinga, go for a bit of a drive and check out how many new houses are going up in the area, this is where the juniors will be coming from.
No area south of adelaide is growing faster than aldinga, this fact alone would have everyone down at the sharks very excited about the future!

very good to see aldinga come from where it was a few years ago. good luck for the future and makes that SFL comp a bit more interesting then just four or five sides winning all the time

Haven't they only won 2 games still?
Agree they have improved and so has the whole comp but c'mon they surely have to get the wins on the board to cement some improvement?
How is there depth down there and coaching with Lynch and reserves? Lynch seems to be getting a bit of appraisal.....any questions to his ability?

Brighton's only won 2 more than that ---- where do you draw the line ? Give them time, it's coming together. They are now capable of winning. All they need to do now is learn how to finish it off. Football history is full of sides coming out of the wilderness with this same problem. They then crack a win and the rise up the ladder follows.

I think we'd all agree that Brighton are a complete different story with the difference of playing the bottom sides Vs playing the top sides in the first half of the year. Can't really compare that.
Agree that they look to have improved can't doubt that at all I just think that the so called Rise up the ladder may be a long time away still. This comp isn't slowing down at all.
With the Great Southerns 10 teams they seem to love playing everyone twice and liking not having 16 sides, this would have to be something the SFL would still be considering surely with the picture still showing 30,40,50 and even 60 goal losses in the SFL. Aldinga have improved but a 35goal loss to Morphies is still evidence of how high it is to climb. Not being biased or rude just think you need to face some honesty some times.
You'd like to see R.Hart continue his form it seems when he plays good they all play good?

[Backliner]

Foundations are being laid on and off the field, apparently a few of our players are being targetted by other clubs, not in the SFL. Our aim is to keep those players and particularly Russell Hart, to build on for next year. Harty has brought up to ten players with him and has had an influence on some U18's playing senior footy as well.
Unfortunately you can't stop outside influences so we have to ensure we can cover those losses and retain our locals.
Football has become a business so we have to think that way IMO.
Watch this space if we can get some sponsorship for next year, this is where we are lacking also.
We don't want to go back to the 40 goal floggings again so I think the Sharks have to start planning for next year now. My 2 cents.

Fair Play, the topic of how much the sharks have improved came about because cheech seemed to think it was "sickening" that the sharks payed a few players and are still 2nd to bottom. We weren't trying to suggest they are as good as brighton, just that brighton would be forking out alot more cash than aldinga and really aren't that much better off in terms of ladder position. In fact aldinga wouldn't be spending half as much as alot of other teams.

I totally agree, I know a couple of people from down there and agree they are not getting over the top amounts. That Shrive bloke apparently loves it down there even if he could get more elsewhere so you must be doing something right.
I just don't think you can compare where Brighton are at compared to Aldinga but hey lets hope you boys do continue to improve. Much depth down there? Seen a write up a few weeks ago that the magoos are getting better, any truth in it?

Results in the paper suggest they are improving. Also have heard that there are blokes in the 2's pushing for an A grade spot which could be another reason why the A's are improving, would also be something that hasn't happened for a while. Rodney Fox and Backliner would know more than me though!

Yes they do but until they can beat these sides not just get close im sure it'll be a big relief. Good to see some signs of improvement especially with hopefully guys coming through. So your not involved down there then? Wouldn't mind knowing how much depth they really do have......rodney? Backliner?

[Backliner]

We regularly have 8 or so guys miss out on B grade each week, not sure would class that as 'depth', we have the numbers as such not to play injured players. The young guys who normally would have left have stuck around and are playing well. Good that we don't have to rush guys into A grade or have B graders unwillingly playing A grade cause we're short. Rodney is the man to ask tho

[Bag The Points]

I'm not suggesting for a minute that Aldinga can be compared with Brighton. I only brought them into it to point out that "lack of wins" doesn't mean they are not progressing. It's the competitiveness where the Sharks have improved. Their percentage right now is the highest it has been mid-season for five years.
Where Aldinga are at right now is the "learning to win" stage. Once they crack that barrier they'll start heading up the ladder.

[fisho mcspaz]

jeez, I shouldn't be on here. I'm so hungover I don't even know what I'm saying. Anyway, here goes. This might sound a bit contradictory to what I posted last week but seriously - well done on the game yesterday. Thought we put in a four quarter effort. Disappointing not to come away with the win, but it WILL happen. hahahahaha would love to send the Reynella boys packing next week. That game against them last year was one of the funniest things I'd seen in a long time.

Everyone get out to training on Tuesday! Rugby is wicked fun.

[rodney fox]

Agree totally with all backliners comments. Depth is better and is around the mark for us but still a long way off what It could be. But especially on the weekend some guys stood up and proved alot which made me /us very happy and proud to see. A grade played some great footy and were let down by some really terrible decisions again but thats footy. Reynella this week will definately be no easy feat especially since they got beaten by M-parks think they have found greta form since then and we'll have to be above our best to stick it to them.

Backliners needed this week-badly

[Bag The Points]

Picked Aldinga to beat Port in one of the upsets of the year ----- as that dastardly guy in the cartoons used to say, "Drat, and double drat !!!!! "
You guys must have been devastated, but keep it going ! You're playing awesome footy compared with what used to be.
Now it's Reynella, Brighton, Cove and Valley ---- gonna be hard to snag a win out of that lot, but if you come out at the end of that horror stretch still playing as well as you are now, you might even be able to scoop the pool when the beatable sides are facing you again. I would love to see that.

For someone who claims to be an outsider, you seem to be right on the ball with Aldinga. I reckon you'd make a good coach eh!

[Bag The Points]

Thanks for the compliment Fisho, but I'm definitely from outside the Aldinga club. However I've been watching the Sharks progress with interest. Would love to see you build yourselves into "The Morphett of the South" in time, but that would be a long way down the track yet.
Biggest thing for that would be getting a full junior programme going. I know you have big problems with the only High School smack in the middle of a powerful neighbouring club's territory, but the Sharks need to keep working on this problem. The sooner you have a good flow of colts coming through (added to that booming housing situation) you'll be truly on your way to lasting strength.
