Happy to get the Bronze

 

[Over The Post]

workhorse in devastating form, storming out of the gate to a sizzling lead, never headed and won by five lengths. Bask in your achievement and the knowledge that your bog rolls are getting the royal treatment:

Sad day in football when I hear big shorts has played his last game at St. Marys.

Not happy that a club legend is having one more year as coach?

Sorry I'm confused. I refer to the exodus at St. Marys and in particular big shorts.

Yeah, we have lost a few players, but the club is generally excited about the return of Erwin Leyden.

What has caused the exodus of players specifically? Is it that the coach has left for Glen Waverley and taken the best players with him or are there other underlying issues within the club?

I have always had a tremendous respect for St Marys, growing up nearby and having known some people who played there in the past, I know that club has a terrific reputation and a seriously close playing group and culture, so I am a bit surprised to see the majority of their best 10 players, most of whom have been there for quite a while, just up and leave.

Whatever has happened, it would be terrific to see St Marys remain a terrific club going forward and I have no doubt it will be. Their female program is sensational and the club has plenty of great people helping behind the scenes too.

Old Camberwell concede the least amount of points in the competition, yet no one in their backline makes the Div 1 TOTY, not a very good voting panel if you ask me!

Most of it was done by the coaches.

I think media might . I know 3 coaches that but Matt Suckling in the Premier C team and he wasn't there. Then Preston had 2 in and never won a game !

 

[Mike Olotripo]

I hear St Marys is looking to be a strong side again despite them losing a lot of players at the end of last year.

Don't all sides try to be strong ?

Yes, but I heard they had picked up a few players despite losing 6-8 top tier senior players.

He's done .

You're speaking in riddles, man. I have NFI what you're on about. Tell us what you know!

 

[bedford]

Ash Lever has been pushed out at Krushers .

 

[Jimmyjack]

Leader article (paywalled) suggests otherwise “Oakleigh football manager and former long-time president Barry Alexander said there was nothing sinister in the move. He said Lever wanted a break, left the club on good terms and had expressed interest in staying involved in some capacity”

[Jimmyjack]

Disagree . Ash won't lower himself though .

Agree Ash is great bloke and unlikely to deliver a spray on the way out the door. But Barry Alexander is very well respected in VAFA circles and I’m only going on what the article says. Didn’t he also get the Lemonade n’ Sars at Ormond?

 

[MrBlueandWhite]

Doesn't surprise, after getting moved on from Ormond and then heavily investing in 2 COVID effected seasons. Understand if he lost the spark

He didn't get moved on , he left due to internal reasons , as did Matt Robbins. Anyone that thinks otherwise has NFI

 

[FWIW]

FWIW some big names heading towards PEGs, Toy and Fahey for starters. Will be tough to beat.

Michael Tanner (Keilor), Pat McDonough (Doutta Stars), Andrew Horne (Strathmore/SANFL)....and will add more...they will be very strong.
