A Section DEC-FECTA

[Benny MOF]

Brian

I think a problem with a lot of Old Boys clubs is the "closed shop" mentality.

If a quality person wants to play for your club, for the endeavour of on-field success and mateship, for all Xavs could care, 22 of them could be from elsewhere.

The key is attracting quality people with the talent and desire to play for your club, outside the "Old Boys" network that contributes greatly to the best VAFA sides.

While there are rumours of payments etc, their record speaks for itself and as they say, success breeds success, the more they win, the greater their bargaining power to get good players.

 

[Paul Kaos]

No, I think it is Monga Rd!

No, I'm sure that's not the case down there either. The guys that go down there do tend to stay there and blend into the Xavs culture. But the majority of players, committee, supporters will always be from Xavier.

Oh Brian,

a little more research indicates that SKOB has never fielded a non-Monga or non-Moonga alum in any of its A Section premiership sides.

 

[Plumber]

Eddie, it's Moonga Rd you d i c k. Obviously an OX, good luck to you...2006, 3 of the 22 went to Xavier in the flag???

You would be wrong thinking that Brian. The number would be more like 14 of the 22 went to the school. How relevant is that anyway? It does a club good to have a variety of people around.

Look at the Ballarat connection at Xavs. It has turned out to be a valuable one with bloke like Travis "Minimum Fish'n'Chips" Ruyg and Mike "Rod Stewart" Beardsley adding plenty on and off the field.

Hey Ed,.

Any chance of a posting an updated scoreboard in the halfway hut this week?

Cheers

[Eddie Woloschek]

Scribe, at the 900 metre pole, it's good news for some. However, the "Vault for the Malt" is still very much an open contest.

Thanks Ed - phew, I'm glad we're at the 900m post, I thought I was going to get lapped. The whip is well and truly out already, but the respective form of the Varisty and Hoers boys is killing me. Mmmmmm, has Brian officially broken down in the back straight? After the SKOB boys notch up their first win of the year no less!!!

Sadly, amid all his sledging, opinions and prognostications about the views of others, Brian "No Longer" Speaking didn't put in an entry. The veterinary stewards called for the tent and the .22 a few furlongs back. It was quick, it was clean, it made it easy on him.
