[The Big Shrek]

Weren't people tipping Nelson as coach of the year earlier? I think Stirlo and Hafey are stirring a bit of poo before this week's final.

Who was the best coach you played under Hafey?

Shrek if you have heard different from what Stirlo has posted , please advise . I hope for the sake of our great game at grass roots level it is not true.

To answer your questions 'Fos Williams' without a doubt.

Will be sharing a few frothy ones tonight at the Alberton with a couple of former teamates watching Collingwood end St Kildas season.

Ha Ha, was Fos at a coaching clinic you attended?

Hear the Barrossa boys respect Nelson. I wonder how you hear otherwise as you think they are all inbred and I presume you wouldn't talk to them.

[Stirlo]

Rumours are rife that the willaston coaching gig is out of Ladhams and Seelander. Abbott applied but that was torn up apparently...

Yeah heard its, cotter, ladhams and phillips from virginia.

Also heard on the grapevine that Occonnor is considering the Freeling post.

Stirlo where the hell do you get your information from???
Terrible gossip, maybe you could get a job with Steve Norman.

B&S, although your insignificant and have little knowledge about football, you bring alot to this forum.

Ask the Stelzers.

Looks like the writing is on the wall for the current Barossa Bulldogs coach .

No one would of expected the former B Grade goal umpire to push the boundaries of coaching science but to introduce a egg and spoon race at training during the home and away season is absurd. The bozo is obviously coaching from the juniors coaching manual and hasnt got past the first chapter.

Hearing of this upheavel within the Dogs camp has me contemplating a Tigers upset tomorrow, its one thing to have the cattle to get the job done but when there is a' genuine lack of respect from the experienced Bulldog players for Ryan Nelsons coaching ability' its not a matter of if, but when the wheels are going to fall off.

Wouldnt have to be Nostradamus to predict Nelson will be back in the white coat and doing what he does best before too long , waving goal flags.

Yes Ryan Nelson 'Munce' would be more at home waving flags with a white coat in a padded cell than teaching people how to play a game he wasn't able master.

Stirlo you are way off the boil with O'Connor. Not leaving Kilburn, has a two year deal.

Stirlo, your livin in dreamland mate, nelson has got his team into the GF, I think that should quiet even the most biased critics, as far as the players respect, how about you actually speak to some of the dogs players & find out how they feel rather than rely on gossip as you & hafey have proved on here gossip is usually incorrect

You don't need to master the game to teach it. Look at John Platten, he was a great player but didn't do anything with freeling. I would say they have the restect for Ryan Nelson because they wouldn't be in a grand final if they didn't.

Stirlo....hello.....hello.....hello....where are you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GS completely out coached Saturday
Was always going to be the story. Feel sorry for Brandt when the old players, who get a million touches in games that don't count always dissappear when the real stuff is needed. Undisciplined mouths on most of them, time GS realised it and flicked a few of these types who just dont't have it when it counts. Couldnt believe you would leave Fracka out considering his form the week before and that Barossa's on ball small brigade is so good, big mistake. Also should get rid of the foul mouthed " water boy " or whatever he is ( wore a cap saturday ) that was by the bench, as his comments probably matched his football ability, big tough man yelling out comments, probably even tougher when he has a gutful of beer i would expect.
Well done Barossa on their 3rd GF in a row, even Hafey would give them a chance as he would know that experience will come in so handy on Saturday when the pressure will be on, and expect to see Tanunda falter when is applied.
Good luck to Mick on his biggest day of the year, when he hands Nobby the medals, hope after 42 free beers and a gutful of free food he gets it right.

Credit to Barossa coach Rian Nelson, has now got his side into a Grand Final and now anything can happen, but we will still be hard to beat this saturday. Dont worry Sponge, you have had the last laugh by getting your side to the Grand Final while guys like Hafey and Stirlo struggle to come to grips with the fact you are in the GF.

[Stirlo]

Well done to the Barossa players who were much bigger and stronger than our tiger boys, unfortunately they just couldn't match it with them on saturday which has been the case for the most the year. The quality of the stelzers, thomas, commane and spicer on saturday gave the dogs clean and clear avenues which resulted in quick goals. These blokes will need to take another step up if they are to get over the magpies this week, if the pies can cut them out, it might just be a maulling at Willaston Oval this week.

Notable mention on the day was the sight of the messiah steve occonnor around the barossa coaches box. You can seriously ask the question on whether it was the cattle or the coach, because it hasn't seemed to make any difference that Barossa has Muncey at the wheel the players just keep on coming up with goods.

Stirlo, I knew you'd bring Occa up so I wandered over to the barossa box during the game and he didn't say anything, just sat there and enjoyed the view, when the presurre was on it was all Nelson and his assistants doing the work, even you should give them credit for that!

Pressure? I wouldnt have thought there was alot of pressure on the coach JD... they won by 10 goals and apart from a brief moment in the 3rd quarter, The tiges never looked a chance. It could have been far worse if barossa kicked straight...

[Stirlo]

Wasn't suggesting occonnor had anything to do with it, its good to see old blokes supporting clubs that gave them a go.. I'll say it again, the barossa players can hold their heads up high for what they have been able to achieve over the past 3 years.

Ever coached in a prelim texas?, there's always pressure right from the start of the game with match ups, injuries etc

[Texas Rattlesnake]

Pressure with match ups? I wouldn't have thought Barossa would have had to think too hard about match ups... Amber tagging Taylor, Sharp on Hahn, Wills on Nicklaus... They would have been the only match ups Barossa had to initiate...

This week will be the test... getting the match ups right this saturday will involve pressure!!!

you didn't answer my question tex, unless you have sat in the hot seat you can't fully understand the situation, it's easy to throw stones from the cheap seats!

[skipper]

Nelson has the respect fo the players, there is no doubt about that. I hear P Stelzer did a calf and Chamberlain did a hamstring. If this is true then the blockies are a certainty.

[The Big Shrek]

Whenever you make a GF, there is always a bad luck story of people who didn't make the team. Would such a person get pissed of at the coach?

O'Conner has made a few GFs, maybe Stirlo and Hafey don't like him because they were the unlucky ones.

Shrek, hafey hates both O'Connor and Nelson, it almost seems he may have applied for the job at Barossa & got knocked back. Thats the best way I can explain the bitterness

[The Big Shrek]

No job for Hafey eh? Having oranges at half time must be going out of style.
