No idea on paty playing but it would be great for him to stay around with the dozen of so young blokes coming into the seniors side next season we need someone to foster us into the change. So you didn't answer my question. Who are you?
Can't lie but Im the best coach you ever had:D
Well your definately not from epping then! :D

P.S Lesley won't miss out he will get an even bigger serve!:D
I would be severely disappointed if I didn't cop it! It will be a good old game thats for sure, It will be interesting to see how many of the epping boys will hang around for the next few years.

Very Interesting but I can say the 2008 wagon is going and last coulpe of weeks I can see light at the end of the tunnel. There are a few surprise people showing intrests in all departments:cool:
Sorry to say Jase but I have heard that story a few times before, alot of the young blokes down there will do alright in divvy 2 but if Epping couldn't pick up decent players and keep them in div1 I think they will struggle in divvy 2. The challenge will be hanging onto the blokes you already got.
HULK HOGAN
8 Aug 2007, 23:45
Well said ozzyo, and I'm waiting for the answer to that exact question as well. Why can't Epping attract & keep decent players? Yesterday's game was another disgusting display of footy. How can games like that be any good for the confidence of young players.
G'day Tiger, Any Questions you want answered I will gladly do so at any time you should be able to work out who I am so grab a beer and come and have a chat and I will not let you walk away disapointed:thumbsu:

maybe at the moment Jim Beam. As long as you keep hiding behind your screen name then I won't take anything you say with a shred of worth. This year Epping would flog Mernda I know that, maybe not in the u19s or the rezzies but the seniors would I know. Next year will be a different story though.

G'day Hulk, I do have one question. What is the plan at this stage for next year. Are you guys thinking of long term development of the side or are you aiming for a quick return to division 1 in 2009?

There comes a time when I want to just kick back and have a kick with mates i have never played with before and this looks likely to happen next year or the following. Depends on who coaches up the bush next year.

I reckon he would stay at Euroa if you and Cristo went there, they need another goal scoring option and a nuggety on baller. Surely the shorter drive would be better for you.

Things are now getting quickly organised off field for 2008 and so far all aspects in my opinion seem very good!!! As for stategies for the future at the moment I would only like to answer that face to face so come and Intro duce yourself and I will gladly fill you in on what I know so far.

I believe a DOCUMENTED BUSINESS PLAN and MARKETING PLAN - 5 yr at best or 3 yr at least is the way to go. Of course change objectives year to year to suit but there must be measurable primary targets, not necessarily Flags, to achieve over a period of time. All the best for the future. (no disrespect)

Not likely to happen as the rovers are on the way to a finals series this year, if i was to come back next year i would play closer to home. With whats posted on the div 1 site it looks as though epping may stay up another year which is good just hope they make the most of their chances if this occurs. You have got me on this one as i have no idea who this is give me a clue.

I did notice that rovers are on their way to finals this year, remarkable considering the start you boys had. Hows your form holding up? I see Cristo has been bagging a few goals yet again. One of the best kick for goals I have ever seen.
The only clue I will give you is that i still remember you taking one for the boys in Coogee Bay one year on a footy trip.... What was it, 9 people in the room watching, with one on the bed next to you!!!!

I think in coogee we played dealers choice and you wernt to happy when i bought you a pot, or was it the rum and orange juice that got you. Great footy trip that one! My form has been ok nothing special, cristo is second on the goal kicking only 2 behind leader he is starting to hit form. We are still a chance to gat a double chance.

Dont worry Hulkster - unfortunately you will have the opportunity to catch up for a beer some time next year during the game.
I can only assume that Ozzyo's son was also not happy at Epping and that he did not pressure the kid to leave because he did not feel welcome. It would be interesting if he was willing to understand some of the things that Ozzyo's son was not happy about at the club so that they can be looked out for and addressed.

Okay everyone, I think it's about time that we started hearing some positive and contructive thoughts that is going to help out Epping rather than keep bringing up the negatives. And yes I have been one of the guilty ones, but next year will be buying my membership and supporting them. If people are not happy with the way the club is run, then you really need to join and do something about it for yourselfs.

As will I again next year - there are positives occurring with some real thought and discussion by those that are considering putting themselves up for the jobs next year - thinking strategically and about all the elements required for sustainable success - I just think that it is important to understand peoples negative perceptions (real or otherwise) because if you are unaware of them it is very difficult to address them...

Very true, and lets hope that we can find out excactly what those negatives or problems are and address them. If Epping can lay down the right foundations they are capable of becoming a very powerful club. You only have to at all the development that is going to happen in the area, especially the nearby Epping North. Lots of young families are going to move into the area and with them lots of young potential junior players. Yep it's a bit doom and gloom at the moment, but there is definately light at the end of the tunnel.

31 Aug 2007, 17:54
One thing which some people will take as criticism but you asked what the problems were to rectify them.
My major issue was that in the last few years I was at epping the senior playing group did not want a bar of anyone not playing seniors. At all functions there would be 4 or 5 of the senior blokes in attendance and they would sit in their own corner not interacting with anyone else. This would continue with the reserves and the 19s so you would have the club split into little groups rather then one happy club. I can honestly say that at least half of the Epping senior group would not have been able to name half a dozen u19s players at that time and this was one of my main reasons for leaving.
Just for comparison, I think just after doing a preseason with Mernda nearly all the senior players had introduced themselves to me, upon playing my first senior game about 3/4 of them came upto me before the game to congratulate and wish me luck. When I played my first senior game at Epping, 1/4 of the players didn't know my name let alone speak to me. I played 10min of the game in the forward pocket without one word of an explanation, hell I don't think the coach even spoke to me. Don't get me wrong I don't mind sitting on the bench, but if im there for a reason I like to know it.
I think Epping need to get back to being a local football club with a good core bunch of players before they can improve their position. Its ok to have 3-4 ring in superstars on the big cash as long as you have the local blokes that will turn up to every function, hang around after training and get to know everyone. Not just turn up for the pay cheque.

Joe - Epping is a great club with good people. Forget about the negatives. Negative people are just that. Negative. It wouldn't matter what was said or done, these types would still find something to be negative about. The issue is how they're managed. These types complain they were not born feet first.

That's not my mail - NFL are still working out the logistics as far as I'm concerned. They want a 12 team D1 competition and it's going to depend
on the comings & goings of the D2 teams (Kinglake, Wallan, Reservoir & Fawkner)

Email sent to all clubs yesterday states that Division 1 in 2008 and onwards will be a 10 team competition. As well as the Under 19's going back to an Under 19 competition and not an Under 19.5 comp.
Also states that the review of Div 2 and Juniors is still before the board.
This was in yesterdays emails
1. Please be advised that for the 2008 Season onwards, the Under 19 competition will change to Under 19 years of age by January 1st of each year, so the Under 19 1/2 will no longer exist. This is a change to the by-law 4.1 (h)
2. Also just to confirm the Division 1 structure will be 10 Teams for 2008 onwards, with one team up and one team down as per By-law 5.3 (a).
3. All other matters re Division 2 and Junior Structure are still before the Board.[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
This was sent out in an email today
"Please be advised that we are having a meeting at NFL Offices on Wed 26th Sept at 7pm for all 2nd Division Presidents re the structure of 2nd Division going forward 2008/09"

I think that just about puts the subject to bed

Thanks Sarge, well I guess we had better get used to life in Division 2 footy. Have a feeling that we will be there for a while and that btw is not necessarly a bad thing either, it will be good.
With the work that is already being done by the new committee and looking at the progress already being made I would expect that the club will be a big improvement on the last few years, on and off the ground. Things are definitely looking up and I personally hope it's enough to get us straight back into Div 1, I guess we will know about this time next year.:)
Round 1 2008

Do ya reckon you'll be playin ones???? and what do ya plan on doin kicken a bag or kicken some heads??
Playing ones will come down to whether or not I get serious during the off-season and pre-season. I would like to think I will fit for the 08 season but who knows. I still have too many mates down at Epping to kick heads down there, that would be stupid. I just hope that im able show you what you lost! Old Epping Vs New Epping I think it will be!

Yeh exactly Sarge. Playing against the pingers next year will only give me more inspiration to get myself fit as I should be.

if your thinking about playing seniors then you might need an operation in the off season to fix up those extended elbows you use during a game

It went really well the club really seems to be binding together in the last 6 weeks.The past commitee will still all be around the club and the new commitee are all compitent people with alot of peaple volunteering to help out in all areas. The new president is ex player and 2nds coach Brendon Mcarthy and Tony Taggart will be his vice, the club looks to moving forward:)

No just Hulk Hogan I will have pleasure buying your sorry arse a beer after we beat yousr by at least 15 goals:thumbsu:
hulk you might want to revisit that prediction.
epping to beat mernda by 15 goals.
mate spoke to a few of the boys and there are a few leaving.
hopefully you can change there minds but unlikely.
good luck anyway mate.

Whos leaving mase and where are their destinations? Im sure other clubs will be speaking to the likes of King, Hollow and Jacobs.
Surely those calibre of player wouldn't play division 2. Unless of course epping offer them squillions which Im sure will happen.

Yes a bit going on a few look like there leaving but talking to a few who look like staying ATM . Missed out on two blokes from Div2 very handy types but now we are in div 2 said they wouldn't play against old club which is understandable. could be an anouncement on the pilot for 08 in the coming weeks which will be exciting. Don't good players play in div 2 moose???

I was told once dont go that only thugs, have beens and never beens play 2nd div.
How thing have changed when you all of a sudden you find yourself comming down, enjoy your stay and hope it's a long one. PS: hope you can at least keep your thugs and never beens.

Yes a real challenge for the Epping Football club to go back down to div 2 and rebuild itself over the next year or 2 or 3?? Many clubs go through this stage and all clubs in div 2 are aspiring to play div 1 ( I think?) so it definitely will not be an easy task. My fifteen Goal remark about mernda was purely tounge in cheek?? I have never said to anybody that only thugs and has beens play div 2 So if you want to post crap like that on the net why don"t yuo let people know who you are or are you gutless.
please name Eppings thugs and has beens, what club are you from.

Don't comment on things you dont know anything about Rod There maybe situations why players will stay at Epping not just cause of money!
I thought your daddy told you to settle down a bit on here why don't you start a mernda thread and talk about things gearing up for 08 and not worry so much about Epping;)

When I was trying to get my clearance I was told at least once by you and numerous other epping blokes that divvy 2 is for has beens and old thugs. Why don't your mates whistleblower and jim beam reveal themselves before you start slinging shit?
Did you guys end up getting those pre-filled mernda clearance forms made up?
