BL&G Football League

[check side]

Gee you guys talk crap. Plain and simply we need to buy in quality recruits due to the fact we cant compete with a small population base othewise we would be in the APFL.
All the other clubs in the BL&G are no saints. We had a crack at a particular player last year but we were eventually outbidded by Ango.
Go figure!

i love it how they think its a bad thing. i no my kids love going out and watching eichner run around even if we lose alot, he brought a excitment to freeling that will be even better now with all the new stars we can sit and enjoy.

[Pinch Hitter]

Correct Daisy. Dosen't take much to sell a club with marketable values.
Culture, premierships and history will always attract players below market value.
Word down the Angaston main street is that the "B-TRAIN" will continue on in 2010.

$800 a game will get them to believe it too

[Stewie Griffin]

IF.... Angaston have a number of players return to the club, guys like Kane Read, Jock Auld,
Kent Kingsley (some games) and haven't heard about Louis Hadden yet, then the normally thin air
of that delightful country town will have a distinct hint of premiership in it.
A new recruit or 2 would be icing on the cake.
Losses to be minimal, would think a man to be fairly silly to move on when a club is on the brink.........

Lets not get too carried stewie the competition outside of tanunda wasn't much to write home about. Ango still have to replace bain, robinson and dawes and if they all stay and ango do recruit 1 or 2 more players they will be on the brink alright .... of financial crisis , the panthers are a typical BLG yo yo club. 1 or 2 years at the top 4 years down the bottom.

[BEEGRADER]

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.

how can you say that about a country footy club you freaking knob. freeling is a vey proud club and we do need to spend cash to get flags mainly because we dont have enough of a population to have that many star locals. just because your club dosnt have any cash because use are hopless at running a club dosnt mean you should say stuff like that.

In hindsight my comments may have been a little harsh. Please provide me with a list of your 10 year players.

ps, sorry it took so long to reply Pinch, took me a while to convert your post back to some remote form of English. They do have schools in Freeling now dont they?

darren leske is all i need to say better than any local player you club will ever see. he stays around for the pride and traditon of the club.

Thanks for that comprehensive list !! Your argument is too compelling to continue this thread. You win, well done.

Better than any South locals. Top of my head, Yves Sibenalar, Sam Butler, Alan Obst. Not to mention club champions far better than your example that didnt pursue league careers and played 10+ years for the Lions

[Pinch Hitter]

Youre only as good as your last game BEERGRADER a 12 goal hiding.

[Swamp Donkey]

Are you trying to tell us Freeling wanted joint coaches by offering the two the same amount of money?
I'm telling you the two players were offered what they were as a package.
The crops must be huge out that way!

I dont know the details mate, but the reason I posted was to clarify the claim that the 2 TV boys knocked back Freeling's offer. My understanding was that when Greenwood was appointed, these 2 TV boys were no longer required by the Redlegs, and hence were no longer offered the job.

Sorry Pinch you have lost me there. What does your post have to do with the lack of history, tradition and 10 year players at Freeling I was debating with Checkside??

Other than a once in a generation trough in the clubs history (06,07) the club has traditionally played deep into September.
One of the few clubs in the BL&G that can claim below par success.
Why else has Doecke played 371 games.

You have to be kidding Angaston have been a flash in the pan a few times at best and won 1 premiership since gawler joined the league no real history to support your claim of above average performances.

BEEGRADER bringing up the past doesn't change the fact freeling has been a much better club than south gawler in recent times , why boast about 10 year players when they have nothing worth remembering in the last decade.

Your now putting timelines to back up your initial comment "that South is a crap club". If you said South have been crap for the last 5-10 years I would have agreed with you as results speak for themselves.

But you have done nothing to convince me that from a tradition, history and past results perspective Freeling can challenge South or for that matter any of the other clubs.

BEERBELLY and Pinchy - from an outsiders perspective; My opinion of Freeling is that they have a great history, strong culture and ethos (but not everyone may like what they have). They are up and down and NEED imports to stay alive. They are open that they save up for good years, have a crack and then go down the bottom for a while. Thier juniors seem to have had the same attitude and style over that last decade and going onthier low population they have been lucky to get some good local footballers.
My opinion of South is they dont seem to have a culture or method about thier business. The club seems to breed egos and selfish footballers. This arrogance has birthed some great footballers, but they leave or will leave. South need a vein of discipline through thier junior grades, but they dont have it. They continue to have successful junior teams (have done so for 15 years), but really this has not converted kids into genuine BL&G quality footballers and people.
As you can see BEERBELLY i am yet another person on this forum that would like to help with the funding of South to the APFL and merge with some other mob of idiots...

[Shoot it]

Well Snooze that's telling him - but I'd have to agree with most of what you say.

Remember - you snooze you loose

I have also heard on the grapevine that big Timmy Gransbury could be back, would be a massive in and give us a real crack at knocking off the boxheads. Louis Hadden is a definite in, has had enough down at the dogs, just cant quite crack it for a regular game.
And Matthew Doecke will retire













eventually

Great work couldnt of said it better myself. The egos and selfishness also flows off the football field at south and its sad to see with some great people at that club.

Yes, a little bit of activity is beginning to unfold at the panther camp with some ex-juniors returning.
Coach Hadden is slowly oiling the panther machine up for a serious tilt at the title.

[cream cheese]

South had a strong culture when Mullet was there! I can't say that I made any friends with any player from South though. I wouldn't be disappointed if they left the league!! Freeling I have the utmost respect for and made plenty of friends with and can go into there clubrooms for a chat and beer watchout for Freeling in the years to come with a big influx of kids growing up there!
