Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

Guys I read your input over the last year or so with interest, can I ask a question of you all, was everyone happy with the state of MAFL before Andergrove came along?? Over the last 5-7 years one or 2 teams dominating the league, BC a basket case, Moranbah predictable, MC hanging around the edges and ES competitve on their day? I smell a fresh breeze blowing in some changes, suck it in boys!!!!! So from now on if you want to stimulate discussion, can it be something positive instead of rehashing the same old tripe??? THE MIGHTY ROOHAS ARE HERE TO STAY!
Can't wait for the draw so we can see who our first victims will be!
That's the spirit Rooha,wish the new club all the best...you can talk the talk but onl time will tell if your fledgling club can walk the walk.:thumbsu:

Says you who just joined:eek:. So what is it exactly you've brought to the thread? Earn your stripes then gob off tiprat. MAFL certainly hasn't been flying in recent times but Andergrove wont make it any more healthy. Your post was super duper stimulating and really informative, oh and................

Hahahah, thats the best you got??? Musta taken you awhile to come up with that.
Can you explain to me why you are so negative towards Andergrove?

How can you be so sure Andergrove won't help? You can see the future??

I seem to remember not that long ago when VFL went to AFL, all the doomsayers predicted the collapse of the football world, now look at it. Apart from them continually screwing with the rules, the sports never been healthier.

Like I said can we be a little positive about the up coming season instead of the negative stuff?? There's alot to look forward to!!!

How can you be so sure andergrove are going to grow the AFL Brand in Mackay? You and PH are in lah lah land trying to compare afl expansion to afl mackay. The biggest issue to growing the game in Mackay is players. There are just not enough of them.

Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

All the good will in the world will never win you a football game and the competition in Mackay could do with a boost in interest but in my humble opinion the introduction of Andergrove wont do it.
We dont need another homeless club meandering along without a support base or any player depth...you will be on a hiding to nothing.
Having said that my biggest concern is where will they play ?The Bucasia ground is unplayable with a terribly sub-standard surface and lack of facilities that saw the demise of the Northern Beaches Hawks[Mackay City]and the exciting but ill fated breakaway team the Northern Lions.

Pie in the Sky stuff....be warned Roos..talking about over a few beers wont help towards the end of a long season when you are on the receiving end of another flogging.

Good Luck boys!!;)

Spot on JB, MAFL needs a boost of excitement but I've grave concerns about this little venture into our competition. No-one's hoping it falls on Its arse but at the same time common sense prevails and it will take players away from other clubs, starting with Swans.

All the best to PH and his team but this is not the right direction,but, I maybe wrong. Interesting to see how it pans out...........................

Every time a new teams starts up in the AFL it effects the current teams in some way short term but in the long term its benificial for the long future growth and expansion, the same here in Mackay with Andergrove entering next season, it will cause the clubs to get off their arse and lift their act and work harder to retain their list with the threat of possably something more appealling becoming available.

You'd be suprised how many potential players there is in the area, the problem is attracting them with something to offer, once the clubs get that right the whole league will benifit.
Where as at the moment all the clubs just whinge about how hard it is to get players, committee members etc...

Well John we will soon find out.

Andegrove Seniors & Juniors is all one club, our supporter base will be as big as evry other club ifnot bigger.

Agree the ground needs work, its been levelled out with sound and the soccer club recently extended its clubrooms which are passable.
Roo's will play 1st 4 home games at Harrop Park plus a few night games which give enough time to get Bucasia upto scracth.


Pie in the Sky stuff....be warned Roos..talking about over a few beers wont help towards the end of a long season when you are on the receiving end of another flogging.

Andergrove having a Senior team has been in the making for the past five years, the clubs planning and future vision was the main reason it took on the coaching role.


Good Luck boys!!;)

Hope my answers above help John.
 
Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

Well made points there PH,despite my initial reservations i find myself warming to the idea of a new club.
Very succintly presented ..no wonder you got the job with the expansion group.

The point is i guess if the League doesn't expand/change it will shiver up and die eventually.

Hope you can recruit some hard nuts for the intimidation factor because there sure weren't any in the photo in the local paper the other day:D:D:D

Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

Hi guys..PH can you please let us know how the fledgling clubs first training run/gatering went.:footy:

Tell you what young John, if PH can say he had more than 10 'players' at training, I'll trade my Black and Gold jumper for a Roos jumper.

Weather was shithouse but it wouldn't of mattered if it was 25c and free piss would it? I don't post on that stupid Bay13, I'm way to mature and sensible for that tripe.:cool:

John old son, i can't afford to hang around on Bay13, papers don't sell themselves;)........................don't forget to pick up your 'Better homes and Gardens', 'Take 5' and 'New Idea mate'.
 
Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

Im tempted to say only 2 turned up just so Stephen ham brain stays away from the Roos!

In all honestly 7 players went for a 25 minute run in heavy rain plus there was 4-5 of us that stayed under shelter, Sunday this was.
To counter the potential bad weather conditions, this Sunday we are training indoors so i hope a few more turn up.

With those numbers i can't see why you didn't do circle work:p. You're training indoors, what you mean to say is 'we're getting on the piss'.

Long season awaits for the Roos i suggest.....................................:).
