Love to know the reason Podzy was givern. Let's see who gets the job.Another Brahma Lodge clubman let down. Wonder were he will end up

this is the offical statement of the BLFC website
On Friday 7th October the Brahma Lodge Sports Club Committee suspended Mr Mark Podzuweit from the Club for a period of 24 months for actions unbecoming a member of the Club. Mr Podzuweit has admitted that on several occasions he has without authorisation misappropriated Club funds.

The Club has lost trust in Mr Podzuweit and this type of behaviour can and will not be tolerated.

Mr Podzuweit will also be unavailable to play for or coach the Club in any capacity and in any sport during the 24 month suspension.

The Committee has taken this decision as it deems it to be in the best interests of the Club and all members.

We are not in the running for many ( new ) as for what we have will we lose them ...hard to say at this stage . Market value says yes.

It is, do a knee, can't afford insurance, 6 months out of work and pay for your own rehab. You can't blame average Joe anymore.

Good on the club for making this public, unfortunately I think it happens far too often in clubs and gets dealt with and kept quiet!

Had a similar situation in 2010, snapped a tendon in my hand and paid for it myself. Just part of the risk i know i take when i play football, i had the choice to protect myself with private health and didnt so had to wear the cost which as i found out wasnt exactly cheap.

Some players might choose to get paid but im sure most dont use this money for private health but more like drinks over the bar.

Agreed with all that. Have to look after yourself, the issue I have is what some people want.

$40 a week more than covers wage insurance + health insurance w/ extras

It's ok for some, I know of many family men that struggle to be able to budget for that or get it past the fun police.
So for the average player he's up for $200 approx for rego, $2080 insurance, $150 boots, $50 home and away shorts, $15 socks, has to go to the club twice a week so he doesn't get bagged for not supporting 20 x $70.

Close to $4000 to play each year, you can understand why some seek some compensation. Never really bothered me as I just factored in that I played footy in winter and cricket in summer and loved it, the injuries along the way were just part of the deal.

I hope we don't play against Hope Valley this coming year in the C Grade, the PFC coach may be investigated by the SAAFL for match fixing...

Heard Mitchell's name mentioned when speaking of this the other night. Although believe now he may have been re-signed at Callington?
