    Coaching Staff Past Coach: Matthew Knights - Finally gets his second shot - 5/5

    To state the obvious all 16 clubs recruit from the same pool of talent. There are no surprises. So it is each clubs opinion of that talent that determines who they select at draft time and then how they develop that talent. It sounds very simple. I understand that not everything goes to plan all...

    Merged Trade/Delisting Threads - Part 4

    I quote Ashley Prescott (01/10/2008). We would love to get him. He is a super talent. He could become a valuable acquisition. CHRIS YARRAN. Is he tall/small? Is he back/mid/fwd? Is he quick/skilled? Big motor? Inside or outside? Tough? One dimensional or multiple tricks? Is he what we want?

    The Signs Are Good !!!

    I agree the signs are good. I like the fact we seem to have a bit of grunt and a touch of arrogance about us. EG Kyle Reimers. However and there is always a however. We are now getting to the stage where we are expected to win or at least be ultra competitive. This presents a whole new mind...

    Cragieburn Eagles U-14s - Hume Leader -

    How can three games reflect how a season will pan out? In theory, perfect. However practically, cannot work. You cannot have grading and expect the draw to stay the same. By that i mean the two same clubs playing at the one venue in 10s, 12s, 14s & 16s.

    Coaching Staff Past Coach: Matthew Knights - Finally gets his second shot - 5/5

    Re: why knights as coach was wrong These are the questions that need to be answered.... Who is responsible for our drafting/recruiting? Who is responsible for our player development? Who is football operations manager? Are these faceless people ever going to be held accountable? For to...

    I do not think money is an issue at Strathmore. Junior membership is $250 per player! Lets say 24 per team at 250 = $6000! How many junior teams at Strathmore?
