BL&G Football League

[Osama]

this centrals south gawler thing has conspiracy written all over it.
it raises a few questions
it is well known centrals were not happy with the change to u16/u18 competition
is south gawler effectively going to be centrals u19 side? be interesting to see if south gawler adopts a central style game plan.
who is paying milligans salary?
has the heart stopped beating at south? seems as though they have sold their soul here and there will be more heartache for the faithful at south as i cant see how guys playing for a promotion to the centrals reserves side will gel together.

all very fishy, perhaps the BL&G and SANFL should be looking more closely at this

LOL you guys can't be serious, i know that south have got to there club 1 from west adelaide,2 from the plains comp,2 from centrals and i heard 1 from North Adelaide, i go for another club but i know there football manager and he told me that they have also got on there coaching staff Garry Low, John DeMeo and Richy Tidswell all have had roles at centrals in the past that is where there conection with the 2 lads that they have signed is.Do you realy think that Centrals would allow what you are saying to happen i think not.Do you think that Jeff Brown would put his postion at centrals at risk by doing what you are saying, i think not.
Maybe some people are worring what south have brought to there club and they just might be on the verge of playing some finals football.
Me personaly i don't care what they have got, i'm happy with the recruits that my club have got, you heard it here first Freeling, South grand final

I was deeply entrenched in a conversation today with a CDFC official, with a sanger in one hand, a tinny in the other, while perving at his missus.
It would appear to be an unwritten code of conduct, that a returning serviceman trying to cut the mustard in town, is to earn his stripes back in the BL&G, rather than other surrounding leagues.
Redleg.... Yes we did hear it hear first, you making a dickhead of yourself.
These two clubs are the only two clubs not to have any silverware in the last decade and it ain't going to be next year.

[Queen Vic.]

Freeling signed a tall from Norwood the last name James, played 15 2nd games last year, both South and Freeling will not make the 4 next year,

Note to Had's.If robinson has gone use the points and $ on a tall up forward to help kick goals..
Will Byster be back. maybe Kent Kingsley...

[couch coach]

Baroosa had their AGM today. Was told that it was a very quick one. No trouble Queen Vic.

[check side]

It has been reported in today's bunyip that the lions have signed Ryan Porter and Ryan Appleton from CDFC. Both young players.

I am beginning to smell a rat.
Do these lads have a club of origin, since they are from CDFC?

i think poor old hamley bridge will be very dissapointed to see apples gone. they were very excited at the prospect of him returning

not being a fool queen vic but freeling wont be to far off finals. they are good at doing this a few years at the bottom then jumping into finals. with greenwood anything can happen

I dont think that Kent Kingsley would attract any points under the new system. Angaston was his grass roots club (I think).
Does he still have any contacts or allegence with Angaston? though he was caught up in the Melbourne lifestyle.
Would definetly be the answer to there problems.

[skipper]

Here we go again, South seem to dominate most of the off season talk but when it comes to the real thing they deliver nothing. Can't see much coming out of this as South will struggle again next season. See big Jimmy has vacated his Presidents job there, top bloke who held that club together with little help from his knockers, interesting to see how they will fair without him, or does he still have some role?

Not a regular reader of this forum but some of the comments brought to my attention regarding South Gawler have prompted me to reply. It is simply beyond belief that the rumours people hear down at the pub or read on an anonymous forum suddenly become gospel.

Fact 1: The players that have left South were not encouraged to stay as it is those same players that have let the club down year in year out over the last 5 years. If they had any conscience they would repay every cent they were paid over this period and then apologise for putting their hand out in the first place.

Fact 2: The Jeff Brown/CDFC conspiracy theory reads like something out of Tom Clancy spy novel! There is no way in the world Jeff would compromise his position at CDFC to funnell potential talent back to his ex club. If a young player does not make it there it is their decision as to what club they play for. Not their coach. If the players local club does not keep track of their progress and they end up somewhere else that is due to their own mismanagement. Suggest the knockers look at how many SG juniors playing in the 18s and reserves next season.

Fact 3: It is a well known fact that South Gawler does not have the money a Tanunda or Freeling has so to start from scratch and rebuild by recruiting promising youngsters seems like a smart move to me. To go out and buy an Eichner or a Greenwood is your standard short term fix and does nothing for a club. This is the reason Freeling will win the odd flag but has no soul, no tradition and no future.

Fact 4: Osama, you are drawing a very long bow accusing South of cooking the books. I can give you numerous examples of each of the other 8 clubs cheating the system but from memory I dont recall any of those clubs having all their points stripped off them. Oh, thats right South were a powerhouse when that happened and had to be stopped to allow Nuri,Kapunda and Barossa some glory.

Beegrader... are you suggesting guys like Casey Schell, Ron Lee, Scott Evans and Jake McVicar have let the club down over the past 5 years.. If so i would like to know how?

These lads played for nothing, never missed a training, always helped out around the club where they could and would be found standing at the bar every saturday night until the place shut spending their hard earned at the bar.

To say these boys have let the club down is absolutely baffling...

Your kidding yourself BEEGRADER, what would you suggest that Freeling should do other than try and recruit quality people and quality players? Hardly a short term fix when Eichner comes looking for a game and hangs around for a few years because one of his mates plays there and to actively recruit Greenwood as coach, arguably the best coach on the market, is pretty sensible I would have thought

Sour grapes!

Nuri had you well and truely covered that season .... fact is you had breached rules and if I remember it was thought that the club was complicit in the breach.

i never suggested browny was putting his job in jeopardy, i was suggesting centrals is all for having a club where they can continue to develop youngsters when they were too old for u18's as they were very opposed to the change to u16/u18. south seems like the easy target for centrals to take over as they have no money and now appear to have sold their soul to the bulldogs
your right no other club has had points stripped from them cos they havnt been stupid enough to get caught.

Texas, if all these lads played for nothing (which I doubt) then my info is incorrect. My point is where has South finished the past 5 years with these players gifted A grade spots every week? Lets be honest if South are going to be successful these good honest players would be playing at 12 not 2.20. Not suggesting their not good blokes but not one would of got a spot in either Tanunda's or Angaston GF sides.

Days,
Of course Central want to develop the lads that are too old for 18s and for one reason or another not getting a Reserves spot but they can go wherever they please.
ps, Sure South may have been stupid/naive/whatever re the John Robbins episode but my point is we all know this happens in every club every year but the powers that be want all the clubs to have their turn at the top to give the impression we have a strong competitive league. Turning a blind eye is the easy way to do this.

C'mon Tinnies, South get their 12 points back that year and their back on top of the ladder again, still only missed the 4 by half a game from memory. As I said in a previous post the association needed Nuri to be a force as it hadnt given a yelp since the Gawler clubs entered the comp. Saying that they did put together a good side to win those flags but nothing compared to the South side of the early Nineties or Tanunda of today.

Not sour at all Swampy, Just saying the playing life members board at Freeling could be done on a plank of 2b4. ps, not familiar with Greenwoods coaching record?? I wish him all the best though as we have witnessed how you blokes turn on your high paid recruits when things arent going well....even the late great Pitty wasnt spared.

[BEEGRADER]

Bee I hate to think what sort of money others have after talking to a few of your new recruits and the amount there getting

Your right One Eyed but unfortunately that is the climate we live in. You either try and match the big boys or continue to struggle. Gone are the days of loyalty and self worth.
We lost Aaron Bevis last season as he chased the lure of the bigger bucks at Min Man. Same with Lutze next season.

[Pinch Hitter]

These 4 blokes would have accounted for 20% of souths patrons on a saturday night.

Ron Lee was captain in 2008, how things have changed!!..

Beegrader this is typical form from the lions, sooks!! why they even get any air time is beyond me , they have got a lot of work to do.

Haven't heard much coming from the donnybrook camp this summer they must be busy in the gym
