HFL Division 2 (Country)

[Animus]

Have Kangarilla got a new coach yet?

[doubletrouble]

Last premiership coach at Echunga got the sack, is that on the cards again?

What does the WCM stand for that has been painted all over the road and signs in the town?

Were cock munchers

Turn it up.... Everyone knows its the HFL who helped Echunga out in winning the flag, not so much the coach. All Bas did was use the extra points to recruit some quality players, not look to develop kids or bring in fringe players from Central Division clubs to add depth to their squad. A very short sited approach. For a club to be handed an additional 5 points after being in the top two over the past few years is nothing short of a disgrace. How the hell are the other clubs meant to close the gap when they get this level of support. I really feel for the clubs like Nairne, Meadows, Gumeracha and Maccy.

Apart from their A's the rest of the club is struggling for numbers. They would be foolish to go up as it just isn't sustainable.

Maybe the HFL need to use the same approach as the River Murray when it comes to the points system and reduce a teams points if the are dominating the competition, as surely it is better for everyone if the competition is more competitive as a whole.

Let's be honest, one of the biggest downfalls to the points system is how a team can handle a mass exodus from players.
Looking at clubs in other leagues I have seen teams go from playing grand finals to not making the 8 after an exodus.
I think Echunga were right to request a couple of extra points when you look at the amount of A graders that left the club last season.

That's 15 A graders, tell me what team wouldn't be demoralised from losing 15 A graders from your club?
I think Bass has done a great job, not only promoting B graders and juniors but also picking up a couple of players who fit in well.
Let me also add that just about every player that went to Echunga came because of the relationship they had with Bassani, not dollars.
Have a look at the team that won and you will see it was very different to the team that played in the GF the year before, so it is a credit to the coach for pulling those guys together to go through undefeated.
12 players from the 2013 GF played in the previous GF.
As much as you may hate them, you have to respect what they have done.

No worries champ

As the Champ may have lost his glasses or even been too busy looking in the mirror will narrow this down a little .... one of the mummy's who was present that has kids playing in junior grades at the club is now considering moving these down the road to Hahndorf in season 2014 as a direct result of this behaviour ..... type as much crap as you like to deflect the issue but for a small club with limited juniors this should be of some concern .... unless it's a good excuse to get more points for the A grade next season ?

Lol Moses isn't cricket season for you mate?

[shake'n'bake]

As an unbiased view, as not involved with the Country Div.

Echunga didn't award the extra points to themselves. They asked like many other clubs did and received them.
If you are looking for someone to blame, it would have to be the HFL for awarding them.

And not to condone indecent exposure.
But what time was it when the incident occured?
if it was after 930, with grand final celebrations taking place and presumably heavy drinking,
I personally would not have had my young children there.

Geez would hate to have had you around the Reynella club after we won the premiership! We did a full warm up out on the oval as a team in the birthday suits!

Would be hard to better Milang on Presentation Night around 2004. Fully naked 6 a side at 1 a.m. White v not so white. Not a place for the kiddies but not a lot to see on a chilly September Night. Boys will be boys.
