Port v North Review Thread

[Big Phil]

And that was an option that I wish he had taken up in Dec. Tim rarely complains or mentions anything to anyone... but from the outside (inside of the outside) you just look at the treatment and you realise why things are going so badly for North at the moment.
I read again that ANJ packed straight up and left 10 mins after the match. I guess thats better than going to watch TV downstairs before halftime at the Glenelg match last year. This guy is a fool/tool/wanker. Has no idea of how to handle men. He was a white ant as a player... Karma Jars... KARMA

Do you say that meaning that he spoke to other clubs (ie Centrals) before Christmas but Jars did enough to convince him to stay ? Seriously though, I think you are spot on with your comments regarding the lad joelie, I've seen him play a couple of times live and on the telly when he played league in the West game and thought he was pretty unlucky to be dropped. I mean the kid won a reserves magarey medal, gets in the best most weeks in the 2's, comes in for 1 game and is out again even after doing alright !!?? What more does he have to do to get a regular gig ???

Doesn't he have until close of business today to register with any other clubs / leagues (June 30 cut off date) in order for him to play elsewhere ??? Tell him to ring 8255255 and ask to speak to Kris Grant or ring Casserley & Mitchell and ask for Roy Laird, I'm sure we could get the paperwork sorted in time for him to line up in the Doggies league side against the Bloods this week !!

I feel for the kid, and to a degree, understand how he feels as in the last few months, we've had a couple of talented youngsters walk out on the club due to their precieved lack of opportunity higher up. In Tim's case, he would certainly be justified in doing the same thing

Yep that is what i meant. If I am correct he had a lot of interest from Norwood and the Dogs. From what i know Tim was assured a spot at the Cocks. Guaranteed. After a couple of weeks a few fellow players(mates) left for local/country clubs. Tim was disappointed with the lack of communication while at the same time hoping an opportunity presented. He was given an assurance that he would consolidate a spot. Now I know some of you are critical of his "playing on" and disposal. He was told on many occasions to just get the ball on his boot straight away as this was the playing style ANJ wanted Tim to develop. No 'stop and look"... immediate play on. So in the coaches eyes he was doing exactly as asked.

ANJ got wind of sniffs from other clubs and to the suprose of all in front of the entire list shouted "are you leaving us Delvins... are you P***ing off for more money too Delvins".... of course in front of team mates Tim was left very embarrased.

tim is in his final year of physio. Is giving his all and being let down terribly. I would LOVE for him to be wearing your guernsey Big Phil... somehow I will get this thread to him.... he'll be completely gutted it is even being discussed in public!!

Thanks for the suggestion!!

The vocal very small minority of antiJars people are spoiling what has been a great footy forum. You have had your say again and again. Trying to run him out of town? It is just pathetic. Same with the Roost. I wish to express that I am entirely happy with Jars as coach. I am just a Rooster supporter who has grown very tired of the antiJars axe grinding on here. Last time I expressed this opinon it was deleted!!! Also, my identity has been exposed by one of ther moderators which surprised and disappointed me. Why don't the three or four of you find a place for a quiet beer and have your whinge there. It is embarrassing to see our supporters behaving this way. The Roost used to be a fabulous place for all North supporters to chat and share views. Now it seems to be dominated by 'a few' people with a serious personal axe to grind. Sadly, this site is heading the same way.

Are you happy with the on field performances this season Rooster Raiders? Serious question.

Good post, some of the comments are not that constructive but everyone IS entitles to an opinion I guess.

A vocal group yes but very small I'm not so sure? Still your entitled to your opinion despite your rant about others having their say because you don't agree with their thoughts or sentiments.

P.S. I bet I'm one of those you took aim at!

[Rooster Raiders]

Offcourse I haven't Rod but does that mean the coach deserves such derision? Better not ask that I suppose. It seems to me that Jars is on a hiding to nothing with a few vocal supporters. I think he was a champion player and as a coach deserves a lot more respect than what has been appearing on here and the Roost. Not all of us Roosters want to sack the coach as soon as the players form is struggling. Someone suggested it was just lucky that we made the GF last year....offcourse we were lucky Some would say 'you make your own luck.' What makes some supporteres think Jars has to be their best friend? Or the players best friend? The conversations have been ridiculous. Just expressing my opinion.

[Rooster Raiders]

Drebin, I 'rant' because my last more friendly / humorous post about this issue was deleted. I presume that was to keep the arguement one sided. Why else would it be deleted?

[Rooster Raiders]

PS: Appreciate the friendly smile on there Drebin. We can get along, Hurray!

Alright then so should the coach be held accountable at all for the obvious sliding of the teams performances? Is he at all responsible for the list we have and it's many shortcomings? Why are so many players disillusioned and leaving? Do you think the coach has anything to do with the club failing to match the standards it worked so hard to achieve? I don't think you will find anyone who isn't very impressed with what ANJ has done in his time as coach. Taking the club from where it was in 2003 to a regular finalist is a great achievement. Unfortunately we are slipping back again and questions need to be asked. The reasons are many and varied i am sure but should the coach be immune from being held at all accountable?

Hey Big S, any chance you can change your name to something that doesn't contain my beloved Raiders?
After all they're green and not rose coloured.

PS Back on topic please folks.

As an outsider, all I can do is ask a question or too, as North aren't my club I can't comment directly but, it would appear as though many North fans feel that Jars has done a great job in taking the helm at a struggling club, using his national profile to secure some high quality recruits and inject a new era of hope at Roosterland, but I get the feeling that many NAFC fans feel that was the best he was going to be able to contribute, ie, get them up off the floor and into contention, ready for someone to come in and take them that extra step?

Is that a fair assessment of the thoughts of many/some Rooster fans?

Absolutely spot on. Summed it up perfectly.

I think it was Joelie that changed the topic Wedgie.

I didnt ask who it was but thanks anyway BigS ya dibber dobber!

Apologies lads, wrong place to have asked my question ... So back to this game, how do North fans rate Port - Do they have enough to make a late charge for finals contention or have they left it too late?

No. Port are not very good at all.

[locky801]

Thought Port were the better of 2 very poor sides apart from a couple of individual efforts by players what a horrible game

[joelie]

Sorry if the perception is that my comments took this thread off topic BUT... they were made in relation to the non selection of Tim V Port considering the coaches directions and praise... and thus the result considering Grose had one handball only and Gallman 3 & 2.

My other comment in "review" of the north game was how the North supporters feel about the antics of leaving straight after a loss... and returning to the changerooms 15 mins before half time to "watch TV" in a match last year.

And in defence to joelie, I assisted in getting the thread off track by delving into the Delvins situation (no punt intended )

So I take part blame for getting it off topic, sorry ladies and gentleman. Wedgie, feel free to send me a PM, telling me to pull my head in

Just joking, seriously though, back on track, I heard the last 5 minutes of the call from this game on LifeFM and it sounded like it was a thrilling finish. I do remember the commentators saying that Jeremy Clayton had to come back on the field late in the dying stages of the game with a busted shoulder because they had run out of interchange players.

Was that the case and did Jezza have to make a play at the footy, meaning he could have hurt the shoulder even further ? Does anyone know how bad it is and will he'll miss games with it ???

Just on the topic of interchange players, I'll leave this topic on track with my question above but, click on the link below and have a look at the topic I raised earlier in the year. Surely Timmy G would be in agreeance with it and I'm sure I heard the LifeFM crew say it was about time the SANFL kept up with the times and moved to a 4 man interchange bench.
