rams hunting a new coach..

Had to have a giggle at the club citing work and family commitments as the reason for parting ways

He said it himself, so don't believe him?

I take no view as to the substance of what has been discussed, but as a rule of thumb, when a coach of a footy club suddenly departs it's best to take what everybody says with a grain of salt.

For what it's worth Bismarck said that 'people never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election'.

I tend to suspect most coaching removals qualify as either after a hunt or before an election!

two very different things yes, but also very frowned upon?

Well spill the beans then Poe?

Lightning, you go ask the questions, not hard to see. you look at the recent recruits and you tell me.

What is wrong with giving a guy a job to play for you? What rules does that break?
Is conair the outgoing coach?

Arnt sign-on bonuses frowned upon?

Wouldn't take anything about payment rules too serious from a poster who lists Angaston as their local club. Unluckily for them they played the GF against the only team in the state who equaled their spending.

Dutchy, you've completely missed the point. There is no footy to take him away from family and work.

Get with the program, man

There will be at some stage though, and demands of business owners to keep their business viable will be more pressing than ever once business and footy returns.

Whats that got to do with employment?

Which most would agree is growing more unlikely this year.

So why part ways after round 1 then, which, if we had been playing, would caused a great deal of inconvenience to the club.

My interesting part of the read was ‘by mutual agreement’. Only those in the know would get it but maybe he only wanted 2 years and this one is over thus giving the club time to plan forward, or he was speared which Glenunga are very good at. Maybe Con Air is one who left last year to go to Barossa and knows more than he wants to say publicly. Just a view.

There is enough information out there and phone numbers to ring to get the right information. As said look at their recruits whom many have no affiliate to the club.

Are you telling me that these boys aren’t playing for the love of the jumper? That’s a big surprise

Huge surprise. Especially considering it’s a really low socio-economic area and well-off sponsors would be extremely hard to come by.

Girdham had a big pre season but still look 20kg heavier

Captain Andy Read to step in as Glenunga coach, with Michael Wundke also signing at Rams

Rising Adelaide Footy League club Glenunga has looked within for its coaching replacement and the Rams have also made a recruiting splash by signing a three-time Ken Farmer Medallist.

Glenunga’s bid for a fourth-straight premiership will be led by a star player stepping up as coach and the signing of a former SANFL goalkicking gun.

The rising Adelaide Footy League club has appointed three-time premiership skipper Andy Read as playing coach to replace John Cunningham, who stepped down earlier this month.

The Rams have also made a recruiting splash by luring triple Ken Farmer Medallist Michael Wundke to Webb Oval to play alongside brothers James and Nick.

Read, who joined the club after playing 17 league games for North Adelaide, said he would take charge of the division two club this season before reassessing ahead of 2021.

“I’ve absolutely loved the place ever since I left North … we’ve started to create something pretty special here,” Read, 31, said.

“I don’t know if I want to be a coach full-time or if I’m ready but I’m willing to for the rest of the year with some support before we find someone a bit more permanent.

“I don’t want the club to go back to what it was before we got there, we’ve worked this hard the last three years and don’t want to undo any of that.”

Read said he would be supported by football director Rocky Butterworth, B-grade coach Michael Beech and other senior players.

Cunningham led the Rams to the division three flag in September in his first season in the role before he mutually parted ways with the club earlier this month.

It followed back-to-back premierships under Brian Leys in 2017 and 2018.

If local football gets underway this year, the Rams will be shooting for four straight flags and triple Ken Farmer Medallist Wundke will help the cause.

The former North Adelaide, South Adelaide and Woodville-West Torrens full-forward, will pull the boots on for Glenunga when matches do not clash with his role as an assistant coach with Sturt.

“We’re hoping to hoping to get him for a few games,” Read said.

“I went to school with the Wundke boys and have always been pretty close with them, and I know it's a goal of theirs to all play a game together.

“I’m not sure if we will play this year with the current situation … but hopefully we’ll get an opportunity to see what div two is like and if we’re around the mark.”

Brothers James, Nick and Sam Wundke played key roles in the Rams’ division three flag success in 2019.

However, Sam signed with Sturt in the off-season to have a second crack at SANFL football.

Expect Salisbury North to be very strong when football returns.
