Always defending the players but that crook never gets mentioned does he. How many of those players (recruits) are or will be 150 game club men. We will see I guess. I know of at least 3 of these so called quality players have been talking to other clubs in different leagues. The culture must be great when your B grade doesn't win a game, your juniors put together a handful of wins and you purchase an A grade flag via tax payers money. Yep well done, your looking great.

yeah, you keep telling yourself that.Legs Man wrote:rock wrote:Legs Man wrote:has been wrote:Running defender you are so totally off the mark its a joke. Your arrogance is typical wanna be club fluked a flag and now has no idea how to be humble. Why in your little tirade above did you not mention the very things that make your club great like your very personable goal umpire who abuses and threatens to kill kids and then in an under 15 game did the same thing. Your coach is another matter....................... Why has your president slid into the back ground and your VP wankington or whatever his name is speaks up. Is that because the pres like many of your club members dont agree with what your club has done and want nothing to do with it. Interesting. Hopefully you make it to the south east for xmas and santa gives you a suitcase full of humbleness to maybe shrink that massive ego you seem to have. Remember one thing sambo - the kalma bus will pull up outside echunga one day and it will be sooner rather rather than later.
Mellington is the VP's name - but you obviously weren't able to derive this from the article posted by Dutchy?
Fully understand the humility call - but with comments like yours hasbeen ( both now and previously ) I also understand the bitterness towards you.
It is unfortunate when people show an inability to argue logically and sensibly - requiring personal attacks to bolster their appearance.
I actually would of thought that coming from such a strong club as Mt Barker with all your capacity to draw players at all levels from such a large population base you would show some humility too.
My recommendation would be to follow Echunga's lead and maybe win a GF - which you should be doing year in year out.
You could also follow Echunga's lead with getting your disgracefully substandard facilities and oval up to scratch.
Maybe Echunga should concentrate on getting quality people to their club instead of prison bound crooks. Your over inflated egos will be crushed rather quickly. You are now the most hated club in the HFL... well done. Your Steven Bradbury premiership will be a distant memory before you know it. And at what cost! One bloke in Yatala, a heap of mercenaries and a bad culture to suit. Congratulations Echunga. TOOLS OF THE DECADE.
Another quality comment by such a well informed individual.
Your club - which you haven't even got the intestinal fortitude to name in your signature - is surely proud to have you representing them.
I understand that my comments surrounding the HFL aren't to everyone's taste - but fortunately I haven't lowered myself to making personal attacks.
This whole situation could have been avoided had the decision been made to resolve this amicably as Echunga tried to do.
We want our juniors to survive and the right to defend the title - that is it!
The clubs decided that a 10 team comp was all they would accept and defended this vehemently now meaning that Bridgewater have to suffer because of the HFL decisions relating to TV and providing them more opportunity than their competitors.
Or will this all now change to suit the situation - meaning the 11 team comp becomes reality ?
If it does - then why couldn't they do this originally and avoid all the angst?
The HFL decision making this year reeked of bias with the special treatment TV received and the way they allocated finals.
Playing favourites has to stop and the competition must move forward in an unbiased manner.
Surely this won't occur while the current administrators are allowed to retain their positions - so dissolving the HFL governing body is the only option allowing for a fresh approach.
Hopefully all clubs can see this and put personal agendas aside for the betterment of our competition.

Those players were probably talking to other clubs in case the decision to court made was not favourable to Echunga. In regards to this "crook", I am unaware as to where you are coming from apart from what I above read on this forum which I have learnt not to rely on too much as it's very easy to hide behind an alias and talk sh*t

LaughingKookaburra wrote:Been observing this for a bit and to be honest the only comment to me that makes any sence in how can you get relegated on overall club performance but then get promoted on A grade performance? Also seems laughable that you can be relegated after winning the flag in the A's. I understand there are rules ect but id put money on it that if any other club in the league were put in the exact same situation you would react in the same way.

After cracka says everything about getting along and no abuse towards anyone you still go and abuse the board and directors you twit. Give it a bloody break, they have done everything they can to back in what other clubs voted for. I wouldn't be expecting any favours from them now if I was a Echunga faithful.
Touch up your grammar as well RD, I reckon a 6 year old could make more sense than that.
Bookie how long has the rivalry been between Echunga and Lofty? They wouldn't have played each other for god knows how many years. Nice photo in the tiser yesterday as well mate
