Maribyrnong Park in Disgrace

[Jack-Packenham]

Registering 22 players for the reserves on saturday and only playing 19 so to qualify injured senior players for the reserves finals. This coming from a club who play 23 year old players in the under 18's.

What a joke of a club.

Ha! Pretty intesting Jack. I used to play for Marby Park in 2001 and to be honest, they were a pretty odd club. I had been playing in the country and this was the first city team I played for, so the culture was very different. We had blokes walk out at half time of the game, a guy being kicked out of the club for selling drugs and various other issues.

Sounds like nothing much has changed.

[Jack-Packenham]

15 local guys miss out each week from the 2's and they go and play 3 short just so some new guys to the club can qualify for finals. Hopefully these local guys leave at the end of the year as will the new guys who are there for the money and they will be left with nobody.

Well, you have just answered my question Jack, that is, if they only had 19 blokes available, nothing wrong IMO with using the 3 other spots on the team sheet. However if they did play short deliberately, and blokes missed out on a game of footy as a result, then that is pretty poor form.

Similar thing happened to me in Rd18 last year - needless to say I am no longer at that club!

Can't just bang em on the team sheet and qualify them. If they didn't play in the game could be trouble. Hopefully the EDFL are on the ball.

They certainly can... Comps discourage it, but clubs can most certainly do it....

I think you will find that if they haven't ran out onto the ground and sat on the bench then they can't qualify if you can prove that they only had 1 on bench then the league has no alternative but to discount that game.

And how do you prove it??? Dont get me wrong, im not sticking up for what they did... If players are available, players should be played.. But its a tough case to prove....

[slim18]

Maybe the interchange sheets would be a place to start?

got a copy of the interchange sheet? will show that none of these blokes were through interchange. what about team sheet, what numbers did they say these blokes were wearing? the club probably doesn't even have jumpers with the numbers on em just made up, thats how a club down where i used to live got done

[schimma_20]

They don't have interchange sheets in the EDFL.

[localfooty]

They don't have interchange sheets in the EDFL.


exactly schimma.

there is no way known the league can prove that they did it.

this is a useless topic.

So Jack you obviously weren't watching, at no stage did Marby have only one player on the bench, if you want start a thread and hang it on any club it would be wise to tell the truth, you are obviously a goose.

You have too pick your best team come finals and if thats what you have to do then so be it, there trying to get to div 1 and have spent alot of money trying to do it so go Marby!

[Cue Ball]

Marbi doesnt have under 18s, they have 3rds.

A lot of players who cant get a game in the 2s play for the under 18s, had a 28 yr old play at times in 06

Not to mention the senior coach knowing there are players over 18 playing and paying the overage under 18 players a "petrol fee".

From what i know, that big full forward was a good player and kicked a lot of goals in the footscray comp even tho he struggles to fit into a jumper. He is 20, has had no impact yet again id hate to play FF in that side. Ruckman that is 23, 2 mid fielders that are 19. All getting paid and all struggling to get a kick.

Last year was even worse, with about 8 being paid.

They have the cash and are more then willing to pay it out.

Yeah well buddy i know alot about MP and i know it is a fact that the senior coach(GA) is paying players who are over the age of 18 to play in the MP under 18 team. I know this as fact.

Maybe the EDFL officials might like to attend the next MP under 18 game and ask the players to match the name they sign on the team sheet to their ID's. Guaranteed they will not match.

Yeah well for starters I am not your buddy, want facts? fact 1; no u/18 player is being paid at marby, fact 2; EDFL officials (including the chairman) have been attending Marby u/18 games every week, fact 3; you know very little about the club obviously. Get your fact right before you slander clubs on here amatuer.

Firstly its amateur, correct your spelling.

Secondly, GA, the Senior Coach of MPFC HAS paid under 18 players that are not "Under 18" what he was calling a "Petrol Fee" to get to games. How do i know this? One of the "eligible" Under 18 players who is actually an under 18 player was told by one of his team mates that he was being paid a fee and this "kid" was over 18 years of age.

Thirdly, last year a 27 year old played for the MPFC Under "18" team on one occasion. How do i know this? I know this person quite well.

Maribyrnong Park Football club might not be using overage players anymore but at the start of this season and in previous seasons they certainly were.

I dont see what the fuss is about, if there 18's were sitting in the race for the flag alright but they lose every game by 150+ so who cares find something else to talk about this topic has gone on wayyyy tooo long

[KnockOut]

I dont see what the fuss is about, if there 18's were sitting in the race for the flag alright but they lose every game by 150+ so who cares find something else to talk about this topic has gone on wayyyy tooo longIt doesn't matter how long the topic has gone on for, this topic has merit and Marby park is a disgrace and a danger to the rest of the competition. While sides are forced to play under 16s to aid there 18s side marby is playing 25 year olds. This is a danger not only to the legitimate players but also the younger players from other clubs. With all this money how much is going under the table to the EDFL?

[Cue Ball]

Cue ball you are a fool mate, why come on here and misinform the public, what purpose does it serve, the reality is you know nothing about MP so best keep your lies to yourself.

well answer this, how come your big full forward played under 1 name last year, but after playing again this year was under a different name?

Was Trav Bryden not paying players? Was GA not paying players?

Ive seen players in there mid 20s playing in this side, it just isnt right.

Ask Nugget how old he is, he played a fair bit of 18s last year but never under the name he used in the 2s. Funny ey

[jrisonfire31]

marby terrible club terrible people!! great culture to take into A grade u bunch of f*@kstains!!!

[aussiepride07]

hey iv heard jetta going to leave probly marby best player on g day mite be goin to gladdy because he was some good mates down there if he does he goin to be a superstar for them

Bit hard to go to a Club that isn't included in the WRFL draw for 2008 because they were unfinancial as at 31 Dec

[aussiepride07]

means nuffin man happen last yr to but we played and did u know he played for us last yr in a prac match

[pokaplaya]

Why would you go to a rabble like that? I dont care if you have mates playing there.

And they wouldnt be able to pay him.

[creative_mind11]

mang park are a disgrace-they do no homework on players wat so ever and pick up players who are no good and they will be close to the bottom half of the ladder this season...

dunno if anyone has seen a guy called jesse wells play. he is an absolute joke for a top 20 draft pick back in 2005. and how can a club justify paying him $900. his brother works with me and i tell u wat the shit ive heard about marby honestly makes me sick.

a player who has played a host of VFL footy, such as reece bloomfield and obst are getting around 700 playing at greenvale. how jesse wells is worth more than them 2 is a joke.

and jesse isnt even close to the highest paid players. ive heard there is 5 players on or over the $1000 mark. its disgusting and i really hope they finish out of the top 4...

cheers

[mindbender]

Being around this competition for 30 years you see these clubs (Marby) come and go. In the late 80's East Keilor kicked of this type of spending with rumors of guys re-financing their homes to cover player payments. They are doing well now :thumbsu:

Tulla have been up and down more times than Jenna Jamison. Never able to sustain the required funds to stay in A Grade.

Moonee Valley went through a fairly profitable period until the Pirana Task Force made business a nightmare.

Greenvale had a few goes at splurging before the players self destructed in big finals. Can't hang too much on them now :)

My point is that Maribynong have no foundation like the strong clubs in the EDFL with a solid, aligned committee, junior depth and a team of committed players.

What they do have is 1 guy with a lot of money that will one day leave taking his wallett and any decent players with him. By 2010 they will be back in B Grade. The area they are located in is not that conducive to footy club culture. It can't last. Compete hard, play strong but STOP WHINGING!

[Marbyarmy]

you are kidding goose.....dont believe everything you hear num nuts. There's not only 5 players on more than $1k per game the whole seniors and reserves are being paid that amount of money. The water boys and trainers are on $500 a game and you should see what the timekeepers on!!!!

Marby wont be back in B grade, they will fold! No future.
Moonee Valley were going to change there name to "Moran United FC"

[My North]

A lot rubbish gets posted on here, Marby will be right in A grade this year

[exhaddy]

it would be interesting if local leagues such as the edfl nfl and wrfl etc banned match payments to players like in the vafa what clubs would remain strong and what clubs would end up in b grade. its a hypothetical of course.... before everybody gets carried away

[NewsFlash]

A lot of rubbish might be posted there, but a lot of bullshit goes on down your way. Blokes playing at the club for stupid amounts of money and the leaving when the money is gone. l agree the club will go ok this year but what about in 2-5 years time? Glen wont hand around for life at that club, the rumour is he wanted to play against his old side and beat them, but everyone is in titled to dream! They have no chance beating Greenvale! What about you My North, who will you follow when marby are gone?

More rubbish been posted. I will support Marby. Marby wont be gone, The club should have be gone a few years ago in the early 2000's when there was no money and no players but survived.

What about yourself NewsFlash, who do you follow? You just might happen to be a Maribyrnong Park fan? You seem to know alot that happens down at the Club.

Rubbish? Its the truth My Tool bag North! Maybe l em from the marby, just maybe l have been around that club for years and been there in the good and bad times. What about you North?
Yes, marby won the flag last year, awesome hey! It only took 4 years and half a million dollars in match payments! No juniors(18's), shitty club rooms and a crap ground which has more waves than bells beach!
Me, l would rather win a falf with mates and people that come to the club cos they want to not for the coin then ___ off then it drys up.

Lets just wait and see my friend.

So if you are a Marby man then you seem to be jealous of the success of the club in the last 3 season, is it because Marby have been tradition a struggling B Grade club, finishing towards the bottom of the ladder winning 2 or 3 games a year, thinks have changed at Marby for the good you should in brace it, or maybe you jealous that Marby will be a threat you club, so I ask again which club you support or play for?

Not jealous my friend, lm just looking at the bigger picture.
Maybe you should do the same.
The success is great at the minute and we are all loving it, but when it all comes to an end, l will still be there putting my hard earned cash into the club. Unlike 30 other blokes that will take off, like they have in the past, everyone would agree with me this is a quick fix.
I dream about being a club like Kelior, just instead we have a coach like Glen who has no idea and takes the credit for everything. His not a coaches arsehole, maybe a great bloke but not a coach.
Atleast l have the balls to voice my opinion and not pretended thats this is foreva. Keep this post along with my others and in 5 years time and look back and say "F u ck you were right Newsflash".
Anyway back to the footy talk, lets get some home grown kids thru the ranks and build the club for a bigger/better and longer future.

i'm sure you would rather win a flag with all your mates but the facts are you and your mates never would have got close to winning a flag without glenn's money, in case you forgot before glenn came along your seniors were winning 3-4 games a year, you had no 18's, no 16's, 10's 12's and 14's hardly won a game.

well you are closer now than you ever have been (still a fair way off mind you). You sound like one of those club people that think you do everything around the club but in reality just watch and complain about everything that goes on.

Sally Sally Sally...Miss Fletcher how are we closer to be like Kelior!

We have spent a truck load of coin on senior players that have come and gone and will continue too. Half of the coin could of been used to make the club better, Rooms, juniors etc. I'm over the moon that marby are in A grade and we won a flag but how long will it last. Has Glen promised to be there and sponsor the club for the next ten years? I think not.

VAFA doesnt pay players!!!!!
Not directly but they get nice extensions done to there homes or there dont seem to get delivered but always get paid. FACT.
All clubs at some level pay there players (good ones)

[melbdocker]

due to the bigger ammos sides being uni or old boys clubs mainly with great results at school, players good looked after with jobs and so forth, plus there is alot of loyalty in the privite school system, and say if u were from scotch there is nothing better than beating old xavs, better than $100 in the pocket after u spend 3/4 of ur pay cheque to drive to seymour and back

you'd hate to be inlvolved with Marby U 18's right now.
there the laughing stock of the EDFL.

[AuckMel]

We hosted their juniors out at Charles Mutton reserve yesterday and bugger me they had some giants playing for them.

I swear some of the 12's looked like u14, 14's like u16's etc. they were huge. The #11 for their U12's is an awesome talent.

BTW, the chips were cooked properly too.

I think what she means is that Glen is just the money man.
The guy employ's assistant's to coach the team, then if they dont meet the set requirements he sacks them. It has happened in the past and lm pretty sure it will continue. Some people think because they have the money they should run the club. I think it only took 5 years to get to A grade, paying stupid amounts of money out to players that didn't care. Maybe you should go down and listen to him at quater time....his a jem!

I could be wrong....NOT!

That doesn't surprise me, same sh it different year. I wish l had the ability to do this to clubs, l'll sick to drinking piss and supporting my local team, l don't think there would be anything worse than taking money under false miss guided football ability. Go marby sorry l mean go Glen.

I think what she means is that Glen is just the money man.
The guy employ's assistant's to coach the team, then if they dont meet the set requirements he sacks them. It has happened in the past and lm pretty sure it will continue. Some people think because they have the money they should run the club. I think it only took 5 years to get to A grade, paying stupid amounts of money out to players that didn't care. Maybe you should go down and listen to him at quater time....his a jem!

I could be wrong....NOT!

GA didn't even bother coming out after half time on Sunday. Took him 5-10 mins and when he did he walks up to Pillios, pats him on the back and watches the game. Same thing at start of the third, went into the rooms for 5 mins or more..... Hope he had the runs otherwise that is laughable!!:confused:

Yes, l saw that. What a joke it is, l never thought it would cost over $500,000 to get your name in the recorded as "coach"!
Funny dont you think!

If Marby folded you would bag them , if they were losing you would bag them . Someone puts money into the club to keep it a float and win games and you bag them. If this guy is doing such a banged up job why don't you put your money into the club and pay for a coach that could do nothing wrong and win every game ....Plenty of clubs struggling with either money or players don't bag the ones that are being useful instead of useless.

Money makes the world go a round in this day and age.

People should be thankful that clubs have people like this at there club. There wouldn't be a person in local footy that would say "No thanks, we don't need your money".
Teams like Strathmore, Greenvale and Marby Park have taken this league to a new level.

Gez, how are the boys looking for 08, will they paly finals this year?

They are starting to settle into a good side now, I must say though Greenvale are probably the best side I have seen at this level and will be very hard for anyone to beat, Marby look a very good chance of playing finals.

Nice to see the Competition has caught wind of Maribyrnong Park's antics regarding it's under 18 side over the last few years and caught them red-handed and slapped them with a fine upwards of $11,000.
http://www.leadernews.com.au/article/2008/06/22/37466_edfl_story.html

ESSENDON District Football League club Maribyrnong Park was fined $10,000 for fielding an unregistered player in its under-18s earlier this year.
The club has been forced to pay $5000 of the fine, with a further $5000 bond added.
But, it also has had to fork out an extra $1100 for its failed appeal.
Maribyrnong Park president Robert Patten said in a statement that the club had made a mistake with its paperwork, but said he was stunned at the severity of the fine.
"To receive a fine of over $11,000 for making an administration error in a club run entirely by volunteers just defies belief," he said.
"Both players were legitimate under-18 players; one was cleared two days later and the other later that week.
"We messed up the paperwork on the day, it's as simple as that.
"We accept responsibility, but do not accept it should cost us $11,100.
"This is heavy-handed in the extreme," he said.
EDFL general manager Stan Pettett said the club had been a repeat offender and the fine was designed as a deterrent to both Maribyrnong Park and other clubs in the future.
"Maribyrnong Park was fined a smaller figure last year and it appears nothing has changed, so the decision has been to come down harder this time," he said.
"The issue that we face is what happens if the unregistered player gets reported? Then it's not just the player in question, the whole club and the league is open to litigation for having an unregistered player running around.
"It's putting us all at risk and we just can't afford that to happen."
Mr Pettett said he understood the difficulty faced by clubs coming from B Grade to A Grade and fielding competitive junior teams.
Maribyrnong Park senior coach Glenn Allison said since the fine, the club had tried its utmost to field an under-18s side, with other clubs helping out along the way.
"The day we played Keilor coach Mick McGuane was just outstanding," he said. "We only had 15 players and he agreed to play with 15 as well. We're not winning, but at least we're getting out there."President of Marby Robert Patten playing the sympathy card blaming an administrative error from a team of hard-working voulenteers. Too bad this won't hit as hard as it should with a cash fuelled man at the helm.

What exactly did you expect marby to do not pay the fine? Does it matter how they paid the fine the fact is they didnt drag it out they just paid it and learnt from it and moved on, Mistakes do happen and who is looking for sympathy if clubs are understanding enough to see that due to lack of numbers it would make sense to even up the field for a more competitive game then whats then problem .If this happened to a club like Greenvale would people be complaining that they used their cashed up club to pay a huge fine. Good luck to those clubs that have the funds to keep their clubs going as without the money or sponsors we would not have local footy to keep us entertained on the weekends...

Do you think the reason some of the cashed up clubs may struggle in the under 18 grade is that many of these young guys know they wont ever get a senior game with their club. How many great under 18 players from last years A grade comp are now player senior B grade after being told there isn't a spot for them at their own club. Marbys under 18s are a joke. For the past 2 or 3 years they have been offering kids off the street $50 a game. I witnessed a fight at the end of a game where they all ripped their jumpers off so they couldn't be reported so don't make out the fine was one innocent mistake. Personally I would rather watch good local kids play footy than imports playing for nothing but profits. Money may buy premierships in A grade but it certainly doesn't teach our kids much about loyalty and playing for the jumper.
