HTT,
I understand where you are coming from, but it's the job of the committee of the club to ensure that the players understand what is acceptable behaviour on & of the field when representing the footy club.
If anyone gets out of line then there are a range of options open to discipline players.
We shouldn't look at this year as too much of an example. It's pretty hard to discipline blokes when there are only 15-16 players in the magoos. When numbers are better, which it's looking they will be this year, the committee is able to work much closer with the coaches to ensure that discipline is maintained.
Give the committee & coaches a chance before you start making statements on BF. Or even better still, if you've got any issues, take them up with the coaches or committee off-line.
Cheers
Sorry if this has been posted before guys, but who is coaching Bulleen Cobras in 2008?

Is it only guys at Bulleen who play with blokes they don't like? I play with guys who might have some annoying traits and habits, but I reckon I like and get along well with pretty much all of them.

Abba - don't read too much into it... I think the distinction being made is 'mates' as opposed to 'teammates'. Our social side is good & the blokes get along as well as the next club, but I think we've been talking about guys that socialise in the off season as well...
When you take 100 blokes you're going to get 5 idiots. But at the end of the day they're in the minority. So I don't see it as even worth considering.

Look i think people may have taken what i said the wrong way, like IFF said when i refferr to the "mates" I mean off the field away from the club, there is no 1 i have played with that i wouldn't have a beer with after the game. And as for the hawthorn guys coming across, let them get here before we past judge ment on them, lets face it we finished bottom last season so any help we get will be good. The old saying beggers cant be choosers.
Melbdocker not trying say anything there mate, as for blue collar v white collar i wouldn't even know where i would fit this days....lol..
I will down for a run as soon as im allowed!!!!!! You will know what i mean if you find that special someone day, you never know with all these new guys coming down 1 of them maybe 1 of your type if you know what i mean:D:D:D:D:D

Wasn't there a rumor similar to this one last year? Hawthorn had too many players and some didn't think they would cut it in D3, hence a potential move to Bulleen? I'm sure of it... but I dont have time to go back over the thread and find it :) Not yet anyway :)

fair comment IFF, I more than anyone want success. its not the Hawthorn players i really have the issues with. i will give them every chance to fit in & will be the first person to have a beer with them (didnt say i would buy).
what gets up my nose is that some people will say something to one then do a total turnaround when their name is linked with it.
KC you claim that there is no one you wouldnt have a beer with at the club.
You seem to have a short memory, think back to Thursday nights.
IF YOU WONT STAND BY WHAT YOU SAY DONT SAY ANYTHING.
I will now pull my head in.
I will still take the beer when your buying.

Guys I was wondering what the plans are for preseason training - not sure about your situation but council has already banned all summer training including clinics on all reserves, and I also believe Parks Victoria have also warned clubs not to use public areas (e.g. Jells Park) - not many options left....looks like lots of road runs.
Anyone else in the same situation - if schools were clever that could make a $ hiring their ground out.

Many councils have large pool complexes,one near you Manny,one thought would be to approach them for a bulk discount rate,swimming,aerobics,weights,grassed areas also,could even be beneficial in keeping training interesting.BHN have started a boxing training scheme,also using social rooms for aerobics,instructors give discounts for regular bookings,these ideas cannot replace drills and skills of course but may keep fitness up until grounds become available.
As a side benefit those aerobics ladies are pretty easy on the eye;)

That water aerobics can be a tough work out too.
I witnessed one elderly traverler doing a session in Japan at my hotel.
Not sure about the instructer being easy on the eye though.

I think you may be right - there may have been a few spruiked last year (don't really remember). We did get a couple of guys across, Rob Mundy - our two's coach & Marcus Aitkin who played mainly two's (apologies to anyone I've forgotten!).
I haven't been around for a few weeks, but there are rumours about a few guys coming. As with all clubs at this time of year, you believe it a bit more when they come to training, a litle bit more once they've signed their paperwork, a little more when the VAFA gives them their permit & it's confirmed once they play round 1.
The Cobras will definitely be a better unit next year than in 2007. How much we won't know for a few months yet...;)

New coaches, new players, no grounds, homosexual jokes and the fixture isn't drawn up yet. If the forum is anything to go by Bulleens new coach will have his hands full keeping the different egos in check. There are some great cross country runs that are still open running tracks that could mix up all the road running for this preseason. Good luck all.
Just because we like to wash each other's stretch marks and scrub each other's scrotums, this does not necessarily mean we are on the other side the fence. I for one like to give a free back, crack and sack wax when ever I can. Would anyone like one???

The question would have to be whats gone wrong at Hawthorn, or is there more to it. why would players want to leave with the success thay have had in the last few years. or is the club happy for them to go? if Marcus Atkin played ones i could see that him & his brother Lee (why would a player of his ability want to drop down a grade) would get to play together but i cant see this happening.
I just cant work it out?????????.
Good for us?????????? bad for Hawthorn???????????

Who cares about Japan and steam baths or how many dwarfs Nellup managed to pull while he was away. Waz can you start a new thread as you seem to be the only one with sense.
On a footy note - Albert Park's new playing coach is a gun! - can play. Will be interesting to see if he can bring any players with him.

Well if this isn't the place for a bit of an in joke and isn't the place to celebrate the achievements of each others clubs... like 25 blokes paying their own way to fly to Japan and promote international football, new coaches and recruits at a number of clubs like Bulleen... still waiting on the announcement I think, then maybe I have missed the point of footy altogether, particularly at the humble D4 level. Or perhaps I should buy a few sheep stations and then we can have something to play for... in the off season... we could call it the sheep station cup no less...

I have also heard that Albert Parks new coach is a serious player and a coach of some reputation. That will certainly put Albert Park right amongst it, particularly if the rest of their list is still in tact. Do you know what position the new coach will play?http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif

Good stuff Saints and Salesian working through many egos and emotions in getting the unity confirmed.
A lesson to Box Hill and Bulleen that whatever you wish to publicise, yes no one else gives a crap.

Which club or clubs are you suggesting are in the poo hitthetarget? I know that the two clubs you were referring to in your previous post have no issues with their survival in the short term and I would suggest both teams will be happy to play in D2 after they have earn't it through winning premierships unlike St mary's who are more than happy to ride on another teams coat tails and give up much of their own identity to play a higher grade of football. What a joke. Can't wait to see you guys get a reality check.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
After reading through some of these posts, I can only say this:
It's the off season. It's 5 or 6 months of letting hair down and having playful banter amongst each other. I am sure when we get closer to the next season the serious stuff will come out. Until then enjoy the off season and enjoy the shit you/we cop. I have gotten over who is coaching who, mergers and player recruitment. If you don't like it, start your own thread and argue with yourself, because negativity is not welcome hear. Only gay fun, isn't that right nellup???

You have obviously missed the point. The forum is big footy which means talk about footy is great, it is the constant tripe about stretch marks, steam baths, backs and cracks that I am opposed to and if nellup and 65 think it is amusing then they can send themselves private messages and get a laugh out of that.
Laurie Zarafa coached Parkside (not sure whether he coached last year), whether he can bring players with him will be interesting considering he is coming from a club that pays players. What is Bulleen's coach from last year going to do!!
Finally, Box Hill North should be commended on what they have done overseas, however, this has been mentioned for the last 3 - 4 weeks now.
Manny, in regards to pre season look at getting hold of an aths track. As all have an oval in middle where you can do light skills.

What on earth are you talking about. There is very rarely anything pre-arranged at the Cobra's AGM's. I should bloody know, I normally try to find the minutes from last years meeting the day before the bloody meeting, and this year is no different. If anyone knows where they are - ring me please!!!!
The AGM is a great place for any Bulleen Member to have their say. I can say from past meetings that there have been many heated discussions about many issues and as far as I know, no-one has ended up "on ther outer" after one. Pot shots don't help - especially anonymous ones on Bigfooty. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting tomorrow night and discussing any issues that you feel you need to.

I wont be comming to the agm normally i would, but from what i have been told its already arranged.
no one has ended up on the outer? are you joking, you were there last year.
Maybe your not aware, but a few of our old & new committee members are doing a lot of talking, so there shouldnt be any surprises. inc our future Pres. a current & long standing committe member has told me & others that he is arranging next years committie this started before the season ended & was talking about it at presentation night. you dont need to look far, if you dont already know who i'm talking about.
I have always paid my subs in full so i will not sit & watch players (non members) who dont pay anything, or do anything around the club do the talking & in the past even been voted onto committee.
before you say i should come & bring it up, i know this was brought up to the pres this season, it was passed on to another committee member the 1 above & told not to worry about it. no subs free gear for some not for others. players that get looked after openly joke about it, you can not be that blind.
But dont worry the club will still get my subs paid in full, for the 2008 season.
If i felt that there was someone at the club i could talk to i would.

11 Nov 2007, 22:46
You have obviously missed the point. The forum is big footy which means talk about footy is great, it is the constant tripe about stretch marks, steam baths, backs and cracks that I am opposed to and if nellup and 65 think it is amusing then they can send themselves private messages and get a laugh out of that.
Laurie Zarafa coached Parkside (not sure whether he coached last year), whether he can bring players with him will be interesting considering he is coming from a club that pays players. What is Bulleen's coach from last year going to do!!
Finally, Box Hill North should be commended on what they have done overseas, however, this has been mentioned for the last 3 - 4 weeks now.
Manny, in regards to pre season look at getting hold of an aths track. As all have an oval in middle where you can do light skills.
Bulleen have been known to pay players in the past so these PArkside players would be getting the brown paper bags each saturday like they are used to.
I stand corrected,
I no you filled in when the numbers were short in the 2s, a few times.
didnt no you were a committee member.
never see you around the team supporting on game day. doent mean your not a supporter.
looks like i was wrong
dude,
how do you think all the top quality photos of the seniors end up on our website each week???
huru
North Brunswick's Pre-Season starts this Wednesday under new coach Joe D'Angelo. If anyone out there is looking to have a kick or to start the fitness campaign before Xmas - we'll be having 11 sessions at Allard park on Monday's and Wednesday's until the Christmas break - then taking it up a notch after that.
Laurie Zaffar? coached at parkside in the dvfl, dont know anything about him. i will post on the dvfl & see whats his back ground.
word is he will be bringing a load of players with him, all can play.
add the Hawthorn guys, all looking good. then if guys like me & KC dont like it. we could always go to Hawthorn or Parkside they might be short of numbers lol.
Hey 65
what do you do at the club? i'm not being smart i've only ever seen you hanging around. your not a player?, your not a committee man?, your not a supporter?
Out west l understand you might not care but big footy is the only way some of us get to have our say. we have our agm monday, ours are pre arranged so pointless going or having your say. say to much & you end up on the outer.
Before going to Parkside Laurie was an Ass. Coach at BHN. That was back in the early to mid 90's. I beleive he went to Parkside after missing out on the senior gig at BHN in 94/95. My memory is not perfect though.
My memorie of Laurie is of a well spoken good bloke who was a keen student of the game.
Leverage,
As for what is written on this forum, in particular in this thread, the appearance of which clubs dominate the discussions purely relies on who has something to talk about.
Bulleen are going through a fair bit of re birthing at present, with AGMs, new Prez and Coach. So obviously they have alot to talk about.
BHN boys will talk a lot about their success overseas because it has had a big impact on them and they want to share it.
As for Nelly, we are lucky that a white maggot has the guts to post with out the cloak of anonymity.
He has done a fantastic job promoting football and umpires in his trips to Japan and here on this board, always willing to try to answer any question thrown at him. If he wants to have a laugh with several of the posters on this board that traveled with him to Japan I think he has earnt that right.
When Saints and Saleasian merged recently it dominated discussion.
Before that there was a lot of talk about Syndal and their proposed merger with Salesian.
Again, the topics are what is uppermost in the minds of the posters. It takes at least two to make a discussion relevant. If I post that my missus broke my favourite drinking glass, no one gives a flying flip. And so it will be unlikely to get a reply.
This little thread we have is a virtual community. Whenever you get members of a community together they will discuss different things. They may all be brought together by the common theme of D4 footy, but that does not mean they don't have the ability to interact on other subjects.
Imagine this is like a party with all your mates. In one part of the room people are talking about Ben Cousins. This conversation will be of interest to many people and lots of people at the party will want to voice an opinion.
Meanwhile a smaller group may be talking about something that happened to them at the pub last week. There may only have been 6 people at the pub at the time (from those at the party), but it does not mean they should not be allowed to recall this event and have a laugh about it.
If you are not interested in a post by any of the people here, then don't read it. If you want to talk about something else, post it. If it is of interest to anyone else on the thread you will get a reply and maybe a discussion going.
To this end, I agree with the athletics track suggestion. These are an ideal option for out of season training with both the chance to do some track work on a surface that is kind to the body as well as having a decent amount of grassed area for a bit of ball work.
Do the athletics clubs usually charge a fee to use these facilities though?

Hope the improvement in Brunswick Nth continues down at Allard for you guys Oz. Would be good to see a coach stick for a few years. Been chopping around a bit since Ang. You guys sound like you recruited some decent young talent last year. They will need a stable leadership to develop under.
I think its great that I can find out what goes on at other teams AGMs. I've gotta say I'd be mortified if someone from the Centrals posted anything about our committee meetings on this board.

If 'Brutas' was lurking behind you with a few mates and sharp daggers it may be handy to have a sooth sayer warn you, to "beware the ides of March", on the board.:D

Sounds like a good positive step Ozza. Nice and early training should keep some of the x-mas pudding at bay.
Good luck with the new coach too. Sound slike exciting times at Nth Brunny. Is that psycho prez of yours going around again and if so, say G'day for me!
Quite correct about us becoming a "community" Spy, but even in the best of families sometimes some of them need to be spanked,
I am reminded by some of the posts on here of a line from the "Godfather"
"never let anyone outside the family know what your thinking again"very surprised by some of the grumbles being aired here rather than within the clubs,I would be annoyed if I were running one of these clubs,frankly,more loyalty needed,always admired AFL Hawthorn FC from years back they were known for not washing their dirty linen in public.

The Pro wants to know the activities of the D4 clubs. When does training start for each club, what are the numbers like and has any club signed any big recruits?
The Pro thinks we should get onto footy matters and away from the shenanigans the usually consume this thread.
The Pro says enjoy your day and I will see out on the Golf Course.
North Brunny starts tomorrow night. Not sure about new recruits yet.
I've heard strong rumours about a couple good players coming down - but until they sign the rego/clearance form - I won't be shooting my mouth about town.
We are losing a couple of players that are going overseas though - which is disappointing but all part of local footy.

We had our AGM at Bulleen last night and can officially announce that Laurie Zarafa has taken up the position of senior coach. Our 2008 committee was formed last night with four new members coming on board. A lot of hard work was done by the committee behind the scenes this year which should see Bulleen become a stable and financially secure club in the coming years.
In terms of pre-season Laurie will be meeting with the playing group next week to start formal pre-season but several players have taken it upon themselves to start their own training. Mondays and Wednesdays at Bulleen Park - light run and a kick of the footy at 6.00pm.
Despite not having much success on the field in 2007, we had the largest number of young players coming to the club in recent memory. Most of these players were kids still doing their VCE so they've got plenty of time to develop. A couple actually did break through to play senior footy - one even kicked a goal on debut. Both Box Hill North and Richmond Centrals have shown that you can get off the canvas and be competitive in D4 with a bit of hard work and I expect we'll do the same.

Kew had many injuries last year and would be unlucky to strike that again.And not a lot of difference in the points for and against them and W Brunny,Kew also lost many games by a very small margin.
Yes I did say that about Kew discipline,but have been convinced by their coach that the match that drew my comment was a one off.Had their 2's in a final this year and it was a fantastic game for players and umps,Old Westy's the other side.

Can only speak of one club in D2 that i have personal knowledge of,some younger ones came onto committee,new ideas and practices and it is going ok with the mix of young and old,personally every know and then a good shake up can be needed,everyone can get stuck in a rut,the trick is getting the right mix,what clubs need to do is develop a succession plan so new people are coming on all the time,this keeps things fresh, and current players know the people that are guiding the club off field as they have probably played with them.Assistant,treasures,secretaries,vp's etc. are a good way to keep people at the club and let them get some admin experience.7 ,9 and 11 person committees are a way of having assistants.

I'll put my cards on the table to make my point,I umpire Bentleigh,but used to be on committee there,they know they get no quater and none is asked for,Goodman knows of my history and still appoints me to their games,even a final one year,how close do you think the observers would have been looking at me in those games,closer to home,I umpire Box Hill Nth.Yes I have tagged on the back of their travel deals so I could umpire for AFL Japan for 3 years,to keep costs under control,and yes because of this I know many players there,Try asking them if I am impartial when over the recent years I have reported a player who got 6 weeks,written the whole side up for below par behavior,and they knew I was the ump that did it not my partner,and on the odd occasion players have had a pretty good crack on field.
Yes I've gone in hard on this and I'm not saying we always get every decision correct, but any suggestion that any umpire would be anything but fair and impartial will get a vigorous response from me,reason,they are MY team .
I am trying to remember a time when you've umpired and I haven't had a crack at you......nope nothing.
I can assure you all that Nelly shows no bias for any team, especially not BHN.

I read it as I (Nelly) make lots of bad decisions, but they're just shit decisions, & I share them out equally.
That was it wasn't it Nelly?:D:D:D:D:D
