GSFL Movements

[LuvsFooty]

No you were right the 1st time I do mean big names not numbers. There are still plenty of players out there in limbo, they need clubs. We have not got anything of note, but its handy to have 7 points up the sleeve just in case. i would reckon there would be a few SANFL reserves players on offer. (Quote)

SANFL Reserves on offer now means they can't make the grade and will ask big $$ to play. Most GSFL A grade players who do the work will at least play Reserves.

I know a few examples of guys who are borderline league players, but dont want to train 5 nights a week to play reserves or realise they cant committ because of work or study etc etc. It was just a suggestion.

Good luck LF, everyone is waiting for the big names to join the Magpies in 2009 and it wil be interesting to see who makes up the remaing 7 points.

It would be my view that if they don't take full advantage of the GSFL's points system and use their allocated points ot their full capacity, then they aren't doing a good enough job in developing their list and their club. In this day and age, i'd have thought it'd be a given that all points were used up?

[LuvsFooty]

I dont think you understand TC. I said that we have no one specific in mind i just beleive that there will be a club or two that does something a bit special in terms of recruiting in the last week before the season proper. We might not use the points.

You can develop your list without using points. We have 0 point players in Dennis, S.Jones, R.Fox, Young, D.Silvestri and Lundstrom that have returned to footy as well as 4 or 5 senior colts that have come up to the senior ranks. As well as this we have retained H.Wilson and Yeomans and then added Ewer and White. We wont take the world by storm but that to me would equal development of the list.

[Toughcall]

Well said LF and you are handling yourselves much better this season than last when you spent all your points and more and still finished with the wooden spoon. Withour getting carried away the club seems to be on the right track.

[fingeronthepulse]

With all due respect, Goolwa probably needs to do more than just develop without using points. If you have the points available, and the dollars to attract a couple of high quality players then why wouldn't you be pro-active in luring the required players, and who knows the gap between Goolwa and the teams in the top echelon of the comp will be shortened considerably. 2x 3 pt players certainly wouldn't harm your chances of making finals would it, and it would certainly assist with depth and competition for spots during the year.

[LuvsFooty]

When you have finished bottom for 2 years running finger, players dont exactly line up at your door, but if you have the names and numbers of 2 x 3 point players then by all means forward them on.

Totally agree LF.

You dont need to use all of the points. Teams lower on the ladder are afforded more points to use but arent forced to use them. With those guys returning, couple that with some juniors coming up if you were to recruit you would only hold out these juniors from developing against quality opposition. If these kids are ready to play they may not give you the same impact as a recruit but give them time and they will improve (if they are good enough). Guys like young Griffen and Cuthbert have shown that even in a weak side they are able to play. With the guys returning coupled with White and Ewer i think we will see a much more competitive Goolwa!

[LuvsFooty]

Only time will tell, round 1 will be vital for the confidence

[King Kernas]

Also have to agree with LF. Down at Mclaren we are persisting with quite a few very talented youngsters to lead us into, hopefully a succesful era. We did talk to alot of players to get them out, but in the end, again money talks, so Steve decided it wasn't in the best interest of the club to have these type of players who are only there for the money and not the future of the club.

We have still recruited, but we are far from our total of points alocated and for the moment we are confident with what we have. We may not be succesful this year , but it will be beneficial in the years to come to give these youngsters a go and build a great club culture. Willunga is the perfect example of looking after their local boys.

[Toughcall]

Willunga have done so well to keep that playing group together, but even they have had to bring in "outsiders" to be successful. It was said that 14 of their grand final team had played colts at the club, which means 7 would have been worth points. You cannot do that now.

[Signman1972]

Bet ya Barry Pilmore hasn't missed that many trainings in the last 20 years!

100% effort?

Funny, I was only thinking last night that I can't remember Baz ever missing anything. The only time he's missed a Willunga training was when he was away coaching association or zone. That includes pub crawls, 21st's, bucks shows, bus tours and footy trips.

Too True, He even come to the trotts at Victor Over the summer to watch 3 Willunga lads
race a sulkie - Most coaches don't give a s**t at Stuff like that!

[Signman1972]

heya... can anyone tell me what strath are like in this league.. do they have any superstars or big name players???

nah they're hopeless

really..... i was thinking of going down to watch lofty play them in the trial sat night... will it be a bit of a 1 sided affair...

Didn't Strathalbyn Play in Grand Final Last year? Also think they played a trial game against
Tailem Bend couple of weeks ago & won by 6.
They are not that hopeless!

[Toughcall]

He was joking Signman.

OOpps I''m a bit gullible! They have lost 11 players from last year thou,
any only 4 new players on the books!

[Magpies 2010]

In regards to all of Myponga's new recruits, how many points do they have left? I overheard from a friend of a new pongy player that he got told he didnt attract any points because he was now living at sellicks.....

Isn't the points system where you played last, i know he has played A grade footy and he didn't play juniors their either.

Just wondering what the go was?

[ohh i dunno]

The topic is GSFL isnt it, therefore making a comment about Goolwa and their use of their points allocation would be a GSFL comment and would therefore be on topic.

Keep hiding mate!
