Dave mathews from Ormond to take the Caulfield job - stevie wright pulling the pin

Old essendon

Handley gone - probably to St Bernards so madden gone from the pit

C section

Ormond u/19's coach to get senior job over a strong field including ex d section premeirship coach

D section

I heard a rumour that the OM's replacement for the Fly may be one Chacci Landrigan. (Has been coaching the clubbies)

Also believe that McGee from Old Mentone in D1 will be shown the door despite finishing 3rd. Is a massive knobend.

Steve Easton may be giving it away (Bulleen Temp - D1) and perhaps Dean Matthews will fill the void.

Michael Oaten at Ormond...Interesting guru. Wouldn't of picked that.

Have a feeling an ex club legend at AJAX will be returning to the fold. Not sure in what capacity yet. Stay tuned.

Hopefully the push for "Scribe" at Fitzroy gathers momentum. A return to the player/coach days?

Madden to go, with or without Handles being appointed.

Monkey, you are normally the source of good info, this what I have heard:
Steve Powell to coach OMs or Scotch though it would be funny to see Nico coach them.
Ben McGee safe
Dont know anything re BT and Ugly Dermie
Ormond INCORRECT, coach will stay
Stuey Powell reappointed at Ajax
Former Strathmore coach will become the new St Bernards coach to try and stop the mass defections post season to Strathmore. The rumours are the snowdogs have lost 6 key players already.

You were a bit harsh there CC ;). All i said was that i heard a rumour about the OM's employing Chacci. By spalshing a big bold no against it, you are basically saying i didn't hear the rumour. Well i did. It may be wrong, but unless my ears were playing tricks on me...i heard someone say it.

So MO is not coaching Ormond. That was the angle i was taking. It was the Guru's enlightening!

Looking forward to sharing my AJAX mail with you fitness fan.

Scribe coaching FR was a gag. We all love Scribe on the C-Grade forum!

Madden is shot. We all know that. I wonder if the big number 40 is one of brians big 6?

Just spoke to Dean re BT job. Easton is to continue in 2008.

[dangerdave7]

Surprised nobody has mentioned who is tipped to replace nicho at the badlands. Heard from a Xavier man that they are rumored to be chasing a ‘big name’.
Nicho at scotch, what an image, would love to see the reaction of the scotch faithful at nicho’s antics during the first hit out at K2 next year.
However i still hope nicho makes his way back to suburban football

Brian,

You usually have some very good mail that tends to be similar to mine but I will have to disagree on the Ormond job. My mail is very strong that DM is off to Caulfield.

You seem to be in the know down at Brindisi St Brian - what are your spies telling you, will Beveridge go around again? One would think the club would be keen?

Surely the SKOBS won't be amking a change, Duggo has done a terrific job and what about OC, surely P O'S is safe now they have made B Section.

C'mon Brian, don't hold out on us!!

Ormond u/19's coach to get senior job over a strong field including ex d section premeirship coach


Any other names of the "strong field" that you know of Guru ? As I spoke to a committee man from Ormond today. He mentioned that have they have a meeting scheduled for next week to discuss the applications that have been submitted.

I fear that we may lose our coach "Russell" at season's end as Ormond have reportely given him an offer to good to refuse.... time will tell though

Lets hope not as he has developed some of youngsters n they r firing

I believe that a former nemisis of ormond (very recently) put an application in. Coached against them in a D Section Flag and was recently lured back to his old club to tra nd help avoiding relegation but failed.

Barnes back to ormond has a nice ring to it as well but I don't think it will happen. There is definitely a change though with the incumbent heading to Caulfield.

[Ammo Man]

Name 'Guru'?

BTW.'Barney' was a fantastic leader @ Ormond - a legend in fact.But how does he rate as a coach? He got a flag @ Hampton Rovers but went soon after. How did he go @ Old Brighton & St Bedes and how's he performing @ Bowie?

anyony could have won a flag with the players at the 'banshee dwarf's disposal that year. Ormond would be nuts to appoint him ,as were the reds when they brought him back.

Re: StBernard's coach...

Has Craig Hille (and his abundance of cash) moved on from Strathmore?

I suppose he can't really hold his head high when Tim Harvey's finals series cost cost him an average of $1,500 per kick.

The only other candidate from Strathmore would be the current SKOB coach. Unlikely I would think.

Who will coach Old Essendon...?

I think it's time for John Newbold to take the reigns as senior coach. He's the only adminsitrator at the club with half a brain and knows amateur footy better than most. He is the reason the club has risen from D to B and probably the only bloke who can help them rise to A.

[BrianSpeaking]

SMG, I think the person mentioned was the coach who preceded Hille. Newbold was an angry man at 3 quarter time, but did control himself and stayed in the background. Not sure if he has the necessary people skills to coach a team like OEG, would be a very hard gig.

[Slay Master G]

I think Newbold has the people skills but can't be ar$ed devoting all that time to coaching. Will be hard for OE to find a coach given the turnover in recent years: Keane, Bye, Dunell, Calthorpe & now Handley all biting the dust, each coach took the club to promotion playoffs. Is it a coaching problem, I don't think so, but coaches are always the first people blamed.

Perhaps Len Hannah, who has been assistant to Ken Fletcher at the school and whom most of the schoolkids have a high regard for. Although I played my last game for them over 3 years ago and don't know much about what has happened since, I feel the club needs a coach from inside the club who understands and can handle some characters and egos that exist. Administration probably needs to change as well.

[BrianSpeaking]

SMG, OEG need to bite the bullet and 86 those egos and blokes who can play but are tossers. Its the only way forward, however painful it may seem at the moment.

Your really GOOD SMG. We know where the cancer starts! The weakness at OEG is people like you who do sweet FA after they hang up their boots. Your Prez is the only bloke that appears to do any work. No timekeepers, boundary umpires, interchange........all of the things that other clubs have been noticing about your club for years. The starting point at OEG is for some of the ex players and player parents to get off their backsides and lend a hand. Sean should get out as he can't do anything more than he has. By the way.......if you change the administration who will turn off the lights? You are all too lazy to do it!

I'm not criticising any of the individuals that run the club. They all work their ar$e off for no reward. My point is that when any business has failure or doesn't reach the targets they should, the administration changes. It's a way of revitalising the club, which it clearly needs. Why should a footy club be different from a business.

FYI, I was involved with another VAFA club after I finished at OE before being struck down by injury.

I now live interstate so not sure how much I could contribute to cooking the meals on a Thursday night.

As far as I know, SKOB had a clean out of tossers and judging by their impressive season, things look rosy at the rat cage.

Find it amazing to hear now after all your posts that you are not a true OEG man given that you left them for another VAFA club. Sorry you do fit the OEG profile...... use the club and move on.

You have just confirmed my previous post!

[BrianSpeaking]

Correct, and SKOB will be even stronger in the future for it. OEG need to realise that they are lucky that they can rebuild in B Section instead of D. They must bite the bullet and do it now. Good blokes with less talent who follow instruction are better than knobs with skill who are selfish pricks and put down their team mates. The whole of B Section and the VAFA hierachy know who these blokes are, but for some reason OEG recruit them to the club and in 2 cases back to the club this year, why??? A club with good blokes is far more enjoyable than one with morons.

Big Momma,
You are an absolute fool.
Just maybe, I discovered that there is more to life than football whilst injured. I think you should do a little soul searching yourself and you might discover how insulated your little pitiful life is.

On the other hand you may be right, maybe I should sacrifice my life and my employment, move interstate.... just for the service of my former amatuer football club, it's the only noble thing to do.

RFS,

We're still awaiting news on who gets the senior gig, but the Reds have certainly indicated they want me to stick around.
It's only proper that clubs appoint from the top down, so it's fair to say I'm waiting my turn.
As for my alumni, OTs are looking at a non-playing 2nds coach, which is entirely reasonable in A section, and I still want to run around so.....

Required:

Assistant Coach
Reserves Coach
Football Manager
Director of Coaching
Under 17's Coach

Is this Barney's succession plan - make sure you tell him to turn the lights out when he leaves.

Coaching Northcote Park and playing for Bulleen Temp - then going to Scotch???? Talk about a change of cultures! Not sure who will struggle more - coach or club. One thing for sure, Scotch will certainly be taught to play a physical brand of football.

Why is it that all local football clubs believe they are AFL level when looking to appoint a coach......I mean these guys want slide shows and dancing girls...get real.....THEY should know what type of coach their club needs and should be actively looking for such a person... If they dont even know that, then they simply are the wrong people to be appointing coaches.......and whilst I am whinging these STUPID clubs who advertise to satisfy a constitutional requirement....I mean what a great lod of crap and a waste of everyones time !!!.... Has anyone out there in BF land actually ever seen a footy clubs constitution??? I certainly havent!!

AND here the whinging ends...for now....

Big Mac...word from the members at Caulfield on Saturday indicated a retiring player made a D**khead of himself and had an altercation with a Senior official and his brother in law. A bit of blood spilt apparently.

Spot on big fella....the constitution requirement is there for the fat *ss weak committee members to take the easy option of sacking a coach.

Proffessional clubs identify their next appointments in the previous season and go for it and ensure a smooth, respectful transition post season.

Whats wrong with slide shows Rabs ? They can be a effective means in showing your ideas and thoughts when you coach. It can make the clubs decision easier to appoint a bloke if you know what makes him tick. :D

[saints]

I heard a whisper in the pub last Friday that a great man may return to the fold and coach the club. The club is very committed to getting him back there. Great friend of BF, Cardio Carl, BS etc.

I think SMD need a new face like GEz was. Sides get carried away with getting former players or people who were part of the club years back but alot of the time these people are mates with current players and can be known to go easier on some blokes which doesnt work. I think the best bet is someone from outside the club who knows no reputations and start with a clean slate for all players.

[Jascave]

I noticed on the VAFA website that Old Essendon has appointed two guys from Keilor to be co-coaches of the Bombers.

Any thoughts on this?

Great announcement from OX. Simon Lethlean appointed coach. Leathers will be a great addition. Played in 5 A grade flags and assisted in the box this year.

Have heard on the vine that Simon Lethlean will coach Xavs with possibly Pat Hawkins as his able assistant.
Strangely, Dale Tapping apparantley not considered.

Again, Brian is correct, why do all of you muppetts argue with anything I post?

18 Oct '07

EXCLUSIVE
JARS TO LEAD BLOOD AND TARS

Simon Lethlean will coach the Old Xaverians in 2008, after being selected unanimously by the Old Xaverians' Conclave of the Chieftains last night.
Lethlean, known throughout his career as Jars in recognition of his superb disposal skills, is a five time A Section premiership player with the Red 'n' Blacks and was awarded the Mick Rush Trophy by the Life Members last month.
At 10:07 this morning, Club President Simon Hunt instructed Ray McLean to light the furnace and send forth the white smoke, signalling that the coaching choice had been made. He then issued the following statement.
"The Old Xaverians welcome Simon Lethlean as our senior coach. We are confident that Simon will not only reinforce the ethos that has brought great success to our club, but will inject new vigour as we strive for continued and greater success," Hunt said.
"Jars has been a significant figure in our triumphs over the past decade and it is with great delight that he will hold the coaching reins next season and beyond."
Simon Lethlean arrived at Toorak Park in 1997 and made an immediate impact, representing Victoria and playing in four straight premiership teams. His goal early in the final quarter in the 2000 Grand Final against St Bernard's set the Xavs alight. Similarly, his goal against Old Scotch in the 2005 first semi, a jag that has gone into folklore as "the frozen rope", re-ignited the Red 'n' Blacks' chances in a crucial semi-final.
OLDXAVS.com spoke exclusively to the new coach this morning and he covered a few topics:
THE APPOINTMENT: "I'm honoured to be chosen to coach the most powerful amateur football in Australia. It is a large responsibility, but I feel sure that we can continue to move forward as a club. I thank the President and the entire committee for their confidence in me."
THE HIGHS: "There have been plenty of those. I've had success, made great friends at Toorak Park and through representative games. Not many people have the fortune of playing in four consecutive A Section flags in their first four years. Winning the Mick Rush Award this year meant a great deal – he was a good friend and mentor to me."
THE LOWS: "Reading Rodney Calhaem's prose on oldxavs.com this year really plumbed the depths."
THE STRENGTHS: "There are a lot of energetic people at Xavs that have brought about the culture of success. Expectations are high, but why aim for less than our best. The combination of Xavier alumni supplemented by the Foreign Legion has worked well. After a while, you can't pick them apart. Xavs make a point of bringing in the right types – the ones that aren't don't last. Happily, I did!"
THE TEAM-MATES: "As a player, I learned quickly about Old Xavs and how one can be successful as a group. What greater team-mates could one have had than Dillon, Bowen, Richardson, Blood, Landrigan, McLean, the Bourkes, the Hanneberys, Brushfield, Sassi, Jones, Wood, Coughlan, Ockleshaw and the others. Their work ethic, belief and attitude has stood the club in good stead ever since. It is that culture that I hope to pass on to current and new players and supporters."
THE PLAN:"Obviously I hope to retain a strong list and I look forward to working with all our players, whether they be experienced, young and untried players. I can't wait to give some new players an opportunity and to try some older players in new positions. I'd love to emulate Bones in getting the boys to focus on the various stages of the football year. My methods won't be rocket science. For my part, I'll be prepared and hope to have the guys training the way we want to play. Getting the best out of players when their best is needed is the trick."
THE INFLUENCES: "I learnt a lot from Nick Bourke, Brian Speaking of Big Footy fame, from Tim and Ralph O'Shaughnessy and Pat Hawkins in their coaching styles, preparation, opposition analysis, motivation and ability to set a side for football at Elsternwick Park. Barry Richardson taught me how to drive a whole-of-club mentality. He got the best out of each player in each position and put faith in groups of players - backs, forwards and midfielders and then reaped the rewards of that faith. He has been a huge influence and a figurehead that all other Amateur Clubs must sit back and envy."
So, the old number seven is indisputably now number one. The Nation now awaits the decision on the Reserves' coach.

My mail is that Barnes is safe..well known around the traps that Spriggs is tagging a number of clubs along - the day he makes a decision on anything would be nice.

The player involved at the Beauy function apparently made an absolute D**head of himself before and after the incident that drew a fair bit of blood I believe from a friend or relative of Barneys.

Jascave - your rumoured new coach - don't let him get too drunk at functions.

Gary Colling 100% confirmed for Caulfield - Kellaway will make a comeback with 1 confirmed and maybe 2 ex Richmond boys as well.

ps - why are Old Essendon spuriking themselves all over the ammos web site. You would reckon they would be one club that would just go about their business quietly and try and re-gain some respect rather than carrying on about their signings.

Making a change at Ormond at this point in time makes no sense. DM did an excellent job this year considering Chisholm, A Russell, Miller, Cove & Duthie missed 50+ games between them due to injuries. Player discipline mid year was a problem but blaming the coach is like blaming Worsfold for Cousins' problem. A tough stance was taken resulting in club imposed suspensions & winning 5 of the last 7 plus a ressies flag & U/19's r/up shows the club is on the right track. Stability & belief in DM is what is required at this point in time & he's the way to go. I've played under him the last 3 years & we were quick to hail him a huge success with a GF in '05 & finals in '06 so to cut him after a 10 - 8 season in '07 would be a joke. A terrific synergy exists amongst the coaches as well, unlike some of the other clubs in our vicinity, a point which is often under valued.

[Ammo Man]

My sources say he's still very much in the mix M.M. He (and the Committee) will need to improve player behaviour both on and off the field. Sad to see some of the crap that went on last year. Very un-Ormond-like.

Agree entirely on the behaviour issue. This issue may take care of itself as some handy types unexpectedly came up from the ressies in the last part of the season & acquitted themselves well. This may result in some of the 'names' regularly out of line spending considerable time in the two's in '08 unless they pull their heads out of their ars*s both on & off the park. I for one am sick of playing with them & it was a bonus playing with guys like Nails, Hawk & Crumper who were so well disciplined after previously being pidgeon holed as ressies players. To DM's credit he played them, although I believe it took a bit of convincing.
