SAAFL Div 3 & Div 3R (2011)

[Boosh]

I would think every club in the metro area should be on their toes as they said they want to make sure footy clubs are doing the right thing

not something our club needs to worry about i would have thought

Unless there is a law against serving people with an IQ under 18

Just on that liquor drama, i heard a few other clubs were raided on the weekend just gone & 2 clubs are in the same position as last weeks club, guilty serving underage patrons.
I know SMOSH operate sensibly & got the all clear, well done.

who are the other two clubs?

Henley, Rosewater, West Croydon

Not sure if any of them got in trouble.

Were they down Woolnough Rd as well Lutz?

I can answer that , yes a couple of liquor licensing gentleman entered the premises Sat night for a quick nosey and a check to see if their was a person present with the proper accreditation. No problems at all, however it did spook the bar staff into closing the shutters a little early, nothing new at Districts though

only joking mate, It does seem a bit strange about weaver. Didn't he get Golden grove up a div in his first year. I no they have bean regelated aswell but the club didn't recruit that well, also had injuries. Is that the coach or the club mistake, also under the impression he had a few gullies people folow him to golden grove.

Mitcham are shot, ran their race.

Sides have worked out their style, are shutting down their key players, just can't see them getting up this weekend.

Disappointing end to a season that promised so much.

PG isn't it true u go to Tafe with a certain player from Mitcham??? Huge game this week for the a's and b's pretty sure I just stated the obvious but for our club this week on our home deck, with a good crowd expected I expect both sides to get the Chocolotes!!!!!

[Choccies]

He was about 25% in his head if he was keen to go on or not so in the end I think the decision made by the club helped confirm his hesitations. Yes we got up a div last year but we had a fair chunk of guys leave, whether that be because they didn't like him or they liked the lure of $$$ from other clubs I don't really know. True, our recruiting this year was poor. 3 guys from TTG, 1 an ex-GG player anyway and 2 B graders came over and barely made an impact which was disappointing. 6, 12 and 14 games between them over the year and I would be close to say not 1 top 5 in the weekly awards between them so disappointing. 3 better recruits were lost early, one requiring a knee reco in pre-season and 2 not being cleared from TTG after training for 2 or 3 months so that was disappointing. So no, the Gullies people didn't follow him as we may have hoped.

I think the main downfall was the difference between coaching a Div 1 side to a lower div side. Div 3 and 4 teams still require a degree of coaching/mentoring/teaching where as a div 1 side probably doesn't require as much learning and Weavs struggled with this. Yes he got away with it in the first year when we sneaked out of div 4 via luck but it showed more this year I think especially when the pressure was on. His communication severely let him down in my opinion and this led to a fair chunck of the players losing faith in him. But the finger can't be pointed squarely at him because he was badly let down by a lot of guys this year and that was disappointing too.

But we have some great young kids coming thru now, we have Div 4 in 2012, time to rebuild and time to make amends for this year and be positive in it all.

I wouldnt be too hard on the club...from the side we played in the first half of the season to the side later in year it was a massive improvement. Always hard to swallow being relegated but I would say it won't be long until you are back in div3. There was definately some handy young blokes coming through so it's probably about getting the consistency right week in week out!

You must be getting real bored PG
Staying up late looking after the little one and being under the thumb is really getting to you!
