Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

Magpies numbers so far have been pretty solid for this time of year, we had to find an indoor venue today due to the rain which looks like its staying around for a while.
Which team are you associated with?

Preseason going well at the hawks getting good numbers with some very handy recruits on board already.
Heard a rumor former saints forward coley coaching bakers. Will be interesting to see if the league let them back in.
Also heard the saints are struggling at present to find a coach.

whats the go there did bakers have a bit of a hiccup last year and get booted from the league? also you would be expecting good numbers at the hawks in pre season wouldn't you? you guys won the flag didn't you?
 
Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

There's no doubt Hawks will be very hard to beat again this season , have heard Hawks have landed a 6'5 Ruckman from Brizy.
Big Xavier Smith is back training at Bakers which is good for them.

Saints must be abit concerned they are still coachless & presidentless considering its almost February.
 
Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

Mackay City Hawks really raised the bar last year in their Premiership season.
The expectancy this year may be greater with all the other sides being aware what they will nedd to compete.
Their fitness level was far beyond that of the rest of the sides.
I spoke with one of their leadin players today and he said that they had been putting an enormous pre-season with the onus on various forms of cross-training.
He added that the footballs hadn't really come out yet and the expectancy level was very high. :cool::thumbsu:

From what l hear Hawks training numbers have been no more than any other club.
Apparently they have lost a few quality players but are sprouting about already securing 11 recruits including two bigman.
Might as well hand'm the cup now!

Have also heard Saints have lost a dozen players & still coachless , maybe Saints can merge with Bakers!

Numbers have been consistent at Magpie land with a few newbies turning up plus few past players from previous seasons returning to the game, one a former league medalist.

Big X was definitely at Swans training Wednesday night and has also trained at bakers this month.
It will be hard for Bakers to get a Senior team this when their former coach is now coaching the Swans is possibly trying to get a few of his former players across to Swans , l doubt very much Bakers will get a team and if so they still have to pay their league debt.
Paul Cole was appointed coach but something happen and he isn't doing it now so they are out looking again.
With rnd1 starting at the end of April you would think Bakers, and Saints for that matter, would want to appoint a coach sooner rather than later.

So are Saints even close to appointing a coach and why are they taking so long?? Saints as a rule are usually stable in the coaching department.

JB, care to comment young fella?

yeah im surprised Saints are still coachless, you would of thought they have alot of appeal for a potential coach.
They lost some quality players but still have time to replace some of them.

Coley can play don't get me wrong. Probably shouldn't have sought him as coach in the first place given his living arrangments. The link to the club isn't the best circumstances either.

Good luck to Coley and may his ego grow like a crop of Indian
hemp:)

*why doesn't he coach Saints?

1st round 21st April with preseason carnival 31st march from what I hear. Will there be a reserve comp this year? Maybe a 4 team comp.
Click to expand...

From what I understand Hawks, Saints , Swans, Eagles and Magpies will have reserves side.
I'm no accountant but that adds to a 5 team comp.
