CLUB42 function Report

[Dave The Man]

We have some wonderful new kids on our list.

The following players attended : Paul Medhurst, Dayne Beams, Steele Sidebottom, Jarrad Blight, Luke Rounds, Lachlan Keefe (Rookie), Tristan Francis (Rookie), Jaryd Blair (Rookie) & John Bennell (Rookie).

Also Luke Beveridge the development manager attended and also VFL team manager Eddie Hillgrove.

We had Steele Sidebottom on our table and Beams & Blight sitting on the table next to us.

Sidey comes across as a good kid. Pretty jovial but not full of himself. He's hoping to play this Friday. He said Pendles has been mentoring him and he's been doing heaps of extra sessions with Pendles to increase his skills/fitness.

Dayne Beams comes across as very self assured and focussed. He too said Pendles has been mentoring him and Luke Beveridge was very high in praise of both Sidey & Beamsy with their work ethic.

Beamsy said to us that Derek Hine guaranteed to him that if was available with our second pick that we take him and he was rapt the Pies had put a lot of faith into him.
He also said Guy McKenna rang him constantly to get to play at GC17 but Beamsy had no interest in playing with them.

Jarrad Blight was rated as BOG in the VFL practice game by Eddie Hillgrove and Luke Beveridge. He seems himself as hopefully a Centre Half Back/ Tall Defender.

John Bennell was a classic. He's a cheeky lad. Related to Brad Dick and Shannon Cox he told us. Of course his favourite player is Leon.

Medders was there as he won the CLUB42 best player for 2008 and made a speech. He said he was quite humbled to win an award with Darren Millane's name on it and the quality of the past winners. He said he'll be playing on Friday night and said his body feels fantastic after the problems he had before X-Mas.

Luke Beveridge said Lachlan Keefe's development was very exciting. He said his skills on both sides for a 6ft 8in ruckman were impressive. Beveridge also loved the hardness of Rounds and Francis. He said Rounds has wonderful pace and put on 6 kilos since arriving to increase his strength.

All in all I must say I was very impressed with this group of kids the club has recruited.

Sounds Like Pendles seems to be the Leader of the Younger Kids and Pretty impressive for a Kid at 21 is being a Part-Time coach with the Kids.

In memory of the great man who wore number 42.

great work dave.....what r u doing with a red card?

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

He's on a 24 hour ban for a thread on the main board where he said that Thorp and Dowler were wasted picks and then accused Hawthorn of tanking in 2004 and 2005.

He'll be back by this afternoon.

are those things worthy of a red card? wow.
Why cant he say those players were wasted picks if he has some info to back it up?
Its not different to saying someone will win the brownlow or where a team will finish

So he got red carded for telling the truth? Or at the least stating an opinion?

Brilliant.

It's horses for courses:

A) It's Dave the Man. He's been told repeatedly by almost every moderator on the site not to start so many threads, but he persists. Therefore, the rules are stricter on him than others because he ignores our requests.

B) You can just start a thread on the main board openly criticising another team with no valid evidence. For instance, even if I have the genuine belief that Essendon is complete crap and will be for the next 6 years, there's no good reason for me to start that thread up on the main board.

C) It was only a 24 hour ban. It's hardly as though they sent him to Siberia.

I think anyone questioning the leadership qualities of Pendles when his name was thrown into captaincy discussions should take note of the fact that most of the youngsters are crediting the extra work he is putting in with them.
