Chris McLean 40? Your kidding me..... He'd be 32-33 at the most.

I seen the guy play last year for Fitzroy. Sit him in on pocket or on a Half forward Flank and he'll kick 50-60 goals.

Chris McLean.
68 goals from 12 games for Fitzroy last season.
Kicked 10 or more on 4 occasions.
Some of those sides were rubbish though.
Injury prone but can play.
He'd be lucky to be 32.

You can't compare div 6 to ypl, I think you will find he is already injured.

Correct on both counts.

He had kicked 6 before 3/4 time though

Kicked 31 Goals against Angle Vale and Mitchell Park and another 17 against West Croydon, I am not knocking him he knows how to kick a goal but Wallaroo recruiting many imports, when they have the quality from there senior colts last year and this year doesn't make sense. They won last year senior colts and will go close to going back to back and they have 4 or 5 Kids at league clubs that they should invest there time in for the future then trying a quick fix. I still not sure if all the imports this year are any better than the imports they had last year - Ross , Francis etc.

You sound like you might be in the know at Wallaroo Duke? Or at least you think so!
It's ok to play colts if they are up to the standard, Playing them when they are not ready can be to the detriment of their development. All clubs need recruits and they also need juniors pushing through and making the grade. If they have senior colts at league clubs that’s fantastic they have to keep supporting them to follow their dreams – They cannot be selfish and try and recruit these kids back to the club until they have given their all to playing at the highest level. Far too many country clubs fail to do this.
I wouldn’t have a clue what the kids are like at Wallaroo but I know they can be lost very easy to footy when they are low on confidence and not getting their hands on the footy or not getting the right game time they require – It’s at times a tough decision to make as a coach. Letting them find form in the senior colts or B grade can be exactly what the doctor orders. There could also be issues with the kids attitude, Not attending trainings, failing to follow coaches instructions? These all can play significant steps on the selection process of picking players not only colts. Easy to have opinions from the outside looking in.

On the recruits side of thing’s it’s very early in the year to be comparing what Sides had to what they have picked up its round 3 for goodness sake.
You don’t know what happened with the recruits from last year. Did they leave or were they pushed, Did they want more money that the club couldn’t afford? so many questions can be asked when you are on the outside looking in. Save opinions on the recruit side of things until there has been a fair chunk of the season played out.
Perceptions on recruits can also differ from the local supporter too the interfering parent, too the club coach – Considering the club coach is the one giving them their roles every week I think they hold the right to be the best person to judge

I dont know Slowey I think Demon Juke has a point and obviously understands the footy club well, we won the Under 17's last year so why havent we sacked every recruit to the club and just played every one with a junior premisership medal in the A's? Surely junior success is instantly replicated at senior level? And like you said, after 3 rounds, regardless of why Ross and Francis arent here these new recruits need to be judged in comparison to the guys from last year, instantly, and harshly.

Demon Juke if you arent already running a football club can you come and run ours? you have my vote

Was just a statement mate.
I'm sure he'd be a handy footballer none the less.

Looks like i have hit a nerve with you and your mate, we have to see what happens but with the big dollars you have spent I hope you make the 5. The trouble is the President and the coach in one corner and the most of the club in the other corner, wait and see,

Seems like Moonta could have belted Kadina if they had of kicked straight. Were Kadina simply not good enough?

Playing a heap of kids that are not ready for the bigger bodies of senior football should help increase the club's player points for the next few years.

nah you havent hit a nerve with me i just disagree with your point of view completely.

You'll be happy to know that with the Royal Croquet Club looking to move to Melbourne its likely resident playa Lachlan Carey will follow it, the R.C.C. cant afford to open its doors without him there if they expect the smorgasbord of glamourous women to keep piling in.

And while we're talking about clubs spending money it seems Bute have more then they know what to do with. First the mini van for their town players, and last night Campbell Brown was recruited in to take training, apparently its lucky for the mini van cos a few of their town boys got stuck into the pints with Browny, no word yet if they managed to get him drunk enough to sign a clearance!

I see Pt Broughton have just bought a mini van to follow Butes lead Test. Hardly having too much money! Smart ....
and i would suggest other clubs to follow!
