BL&G Football League

[daysofourlives]

I see Angaston has a clearance in for James Lawton played a bit of league footy at Centrals and then went to Glenelg IIRC.
No clearance lodged for Langford as yet, maybe he's staying at North to utilize rehab equipment

[Dizzee Rascal]

What would be the reason Gawler Central are denying clearances for 2 B graders who want to go to Angaston?
Tyler Hutton played 15 B Grade and 1 A Grade last year and was in the B Grade best twice.
Tyler Phillips played 9 B Grade and didnt get in the best 6 once.
I understand the rule of not having to clear players to other clubs within the association but I didnt think it applied to B Grade players.

I hear its headed to the tribunal and i would say they would deliberate for all of about 30 seconds before granting the clearances. Seems to me GC just wasting everyone's time.

IIRC you are a big advocate for the "Dont have to clear a player to another team in the comp" rule...

It is a rule for that association (which I dont like 100% mind you) so if the kid signed something last year, he is bound by the rules of the BLG contractualy, therefor the tribunal will uphold the rules in the constitution, so your right, it may only take 30 secs...

I am a fan of the rule for A Grade players, but ofr bonafide B grade players why shouldnt they be cleared?
Im pretty sure that B Grade footballers are not signing any contracts so im sure the clearances will be granted.

From what you said, these are young kids right... And 1 of them already cracked a game in the A's for a team which probably should have won the flag last year, probably suggests he is more than a bonafide B grader (in the eyes of GC anyway)...
In this day and age, all these young kids expect some form of $$ if they play A grade (I dont agree with that but its the nature of the beast) so if GC have their admin in shape, then I reckon they would have signed contracts... I may be wrong, but unless you know all the facts, bit hard to have a definitative answer I would have thought...

I agree the kids should be cleared, Im not a huge fane of the rule as it stands now, but the rule doesnt stipulate between A and B grade, so if a club thinks a young up-and-comer is a required player, rule favours his current club. You cant say he's good enough so no, but hes not so yes...

I guess it may also serve as a lesson to some of these young fella's, if you want to put your hand up to get paid $ for footy, not matter how small, there may be consequences down the track. Just a thought

I'm fairly certain these lads were not and are not on coin.

What's going on down here. Outside of gawler centrals gaining some good in and barossa losing some bigger ones all seems pretty quiet

[roodog]

Too quiet.....

[Chuck Wepner]

I went to the dogpound yesterday - watched BDFC training. If Roger can get this group to finals in 2014 he should be Australian of the year.With the personnel he has available to him I think they'll struggle to win a game. The lower grades are also pretty ordinary as far as quality and numbers on the track might indicate. I think a re-build is definitely on.

[roodog]

They do have some pretty good young blokes that had to run around in the reserves last season, so the Dogs' depth is good. A couple of seasons in the A's should see Barossa back up around there if they can keep them all home.

[Ruben Carter]

I'm not sure their reserves depth will ever cover the type of class that's recently left the club. Aish, Matt Stelzer, Christie, Commane, Sharp, Coles, Taylor, Jenkins and Jock Cameron. There are probably some others that I haven't mentioned. Chuck makes a good point - they'll need to have quite a few lean years to get enough points to begin recruiting seasoned quality players again.

[skipper]

May well be some massive losses over in Blockville as well, rumour is Sammy Agars is off OS for 2 years and will not be fronting up this season and Ben Schiller will be absent for some of the season if not all of the season, can anyone confirm this?

[Dogwatcher]

Sam is looking pretty fit at the moment and is training with Tanunda.

Yeah, Benny's heading OS for a while couldn't tell ya how much of the season he'll miss though.

[UNCLE SAM]

hell we missed out on getting Billy Wells back and Scotty Dutschke so if we lose Benny and Sam it could be a long year for the magpies as it will be for all other clubs given the recruiting the Gawler tigers have been up to.
How the hell they get the points for all these new players and more importantly where is the cash coming from.
Can any one tell me what each clubs points allocation is in 2014
Unfortunately it seems Centrals have a mortgage on this years premiership and the rest are playing for second.
Not a lot of movement in regard to clearances in and most on the way out.

Where has Matt Stelzer gone I was told he had re signed along with Aish and 2 other Norwood players that I don't have names for at this stage.
One is a ruckman and the other a CHF.

[UNCLE SAM]

Any news on trial games for any clubs this week-end or those coming up

Not a heap of points being used on new players at GC mate.

Tom Dunne - Zero Points
Charlie Molyneux - Zero Points
Casey Thomas - Zero Points

And we sold meat trays for the cash
