HFL Division 1 (Central)

[running defender]

What recruits have you promised , that the mighty tigers are in for a good year
And when it's the halfway they realise it's another wasted year

Noticed in the Courier that Torrens Valley are advertising for a "CEO" to replace the current president position. 0.2 FTE

[rock]

I don't even know who chopper7 is affiliated with, that's how much sense the dumb $&@t makes.

[always there]

Really, here we go again can't find anything interesting to talk about so we revert to name calling. What started as a conversation about gun forwards, which could have been a good discussion turned into you all name calling. Grow up.

Yeah I saw that too. Mt Barker with a paid part time Secretary & now a paid CEO for TV. Sh!ts getting out of control & starting to get too hard. The time involved in being on a club's committee is just ridiculous.

Ive kicked a few footys in my time and still are kicking a few so don't you worry about my performance mate.

Rock, if you go back I have stated who I'm affiliated with and trust me my club is in a lot better position than your pathetic excuse for a footy club. Worry about yourself before judging others.

Always there- exactly right, was happy to talk gun forwards in the comp but the air up at Ironbank must be a bit thin.

[running defender]

Yes that's the way it's going boys.
Most clubs are turning over in excess of $300,000 these days.
Get rid off salary cap, pts system
That will cut down a s##t load of paper work
The pressure on family's these days are enormous let alone
Volunteering for a full or half Saturday .
Maybe it's the sign of the times

[always there]

How many clubs have that turnover?
Yes sign of the times no one wants to volunteer anymore they are all asking "what's in it for me", unfortunately they can not see past money and the fact that volunteering can be very rewarding. So many parents no days let others do all the work and hide when asked for help. It is sad to see so many paid positions at clubs including canteen managers, presidents and secretaries, trainers etc. a sporting club can be w fantastic support network and a great place to bring up children in a safe environment and teach them many wonderful values, all getting lost now in this busy crazy world.
So yes sign of the times.

It's a pity players aren't willing to volunteer anymore either.

Yes I agree, although in my current experience there are probably more players volunteering and coaching the juniors that before albeit most of them are locals and true club people.

I was being a smart ass & actually meant volunteer to play.

Ha ha okay and very true

[lovethefooty]

I played football 100 years ago and guys didn't play for free then.

Players have always been paid for their services, and the better the player the more they get paid.
It has always been, and always will be the way!!!

but imho, you shouldn't kid yourself that a premiership can be bought, because it cant!!
Wise spending on good people, who happen to be good footballers will stand the test of time.

As for best forward in the competition, it would be hard to go past Hourigan from Hahndorf, Harland from Echunga and Skinner from Lobethal.
There are others of course, but those three are key players and the loss of Skinner at the start of the year should not be underestimated.

Agree whole hearted. If a club can find a good footballer who becomes a part of the club it is certainly money well spent. And also agree on the best forwards, let's hope skinner will be in full flight from round one and really make this comp interesting.

[spot on]

I see Onkas have signed a decent new player, Jesse O'Brien a 24 y.o. who has played AFL for Brisbane Lions.

Bloody hope so. We haven't had much luck with big name recruits in the last 2 years so hopefully 3rd time lucky.

This guy is on the maximum $1000 a game, hopefully he delivers come game day. Moorey loves his marquee players, just hope it doesn't cause a divide between locals and imports for Onkas.

[overthehill]

I'm sure after last years efforts the Onkas local boys will be lining up to buy any new recruit a beer. As long as he sticks around after the game for a drink im sure there'll be no issue. I do wonder though, knowing there's a maximum $1000 per game why did he go to Onkas after they finished bottom? Surely he could of walked in most clubs in the state as a "Marquee Player"? i'll assume he has a connection?

[rock]

Jesse is from North Adelaide so Moorey would know him well. He's been in and out on the league side, I think he got flicked from Brisbane a few years ago. Handy outside mid but also injury prone.

And will be on a decent wicket as their "junior development co-ordinator"
