I rate Douttas, cracking list of footballers, injuries probably screwed them a bit. If they can keep the current list and add a few bigger bodies they could easily jump back up and compete with Greenvale and Strathmore, I would put this year down to more of a bad luck thing than a talent/not good enough type scenario....

Senior List
18 A GRADE FLAGS AND 1 B GRADE.NOT TO BAD I THINK. YOU DONT COME CLOSE TO THAT CASHMORE.[/quote
To be a successful club you would have to take in all grades (under 10 to seniors).I think that strathmore would more than hold their own against you if not more in premierships......
Money has nothing to do with their premierships in under 10 to 18`s over the years......
I admit that they bought last years and maybe this years premierships but overall as a club they are to be commended.................
Certainly I agree with your coment that a successful club should be judged on their senior results but to say that unless your juniors win premierships you are not successful is way off the mark.
The strength of a clubs juniors shouild be based on how all sides perform no matter how many teams they have. Just have a look at Keilor, Aberfeldie v Strathmore.

Your knowledge of the Mores senior side is obviously poor. I can understand your frustration at DS dismal year but don't try and hide DS deficencies by making untrue statements.

Correct computersaysno, it is an never ending arguement, but one that Abers will continue to win.
The fact still remains that the Mores have several 'home growns' that are currently playing or have played in the senior team this year. The Mores have a chance of a three peat, while Douttas recruited and paid the big bucks to the wrong blokes

That may be true....but Aber is a deadshiit!!
remember things happen in cycles, and the tide will turn!!
This perplexes me when clubs talk about home grown players and who has the most playing in their senior side. Of all these home grown players, how many have been enticed back to the club purely because of the financial reward. I bet they weren't doing it out of the kindness of their heart.
If a player is new to the club or a past junior player returning, and they are getting good $$$, then i don't personally think it makes a difference.
They are there for the same reason and when the money dries up, they will leave for the same reason.

Re: Mr Controversy In Scotland
5 people or 5000, refusing to finish a game because of the weather....gee, says alot about the character of an individual....sorry, I should say Club....you mention the words disgrace, pathetic....Im sure there's a few more words people including your own supporters have bandied about...not quite as subtle as the above...

You know what we can all speculate about what players earn but i would say most of us would have no flipping idea.It would be interesting to see every clubs payment list,i reckon there would be a few surprises.
There are certain players on big coin and are worth every cent in my opinion but then there are players at my own club and others that command money and its laughable.If you want big $$$ then i would expect output like that of a Carey,Holman,Peaks,Quinn otherwise go and get ****ED
And im not liking the way footy is going at the moment,players on big $$$ just turning up and not hanging around after the games,the high turnover of players,players going to the highest bidder,certain clubs younger players forced to play 2's or elsewhere.What i mean by that is im sure we all have a player(recruit) that gets a couple of hundred where you think there's 2 or 3 guys could fill that spot.
I know times have changed and stop living in the past Waxy and we all love sticking up for our club but im sure even supporters at the very successful clubs dont like some of the things that are happening.And no there isnt any sour grapes from the season we have had
Can you notice that WAXY has had a few reds and is talking shit now

Waxy - maybe you should get on the red more often
All makes sense and doubt anyone would disagree with those comments
A voice of reason!!!!!!! Fact is over the last 10-20 years most of the premiership clubs in the EDFL would've spent somewhere near the most to acheive so. Before you all go mad I'm sure there are exceptions.....
How about we talk some current footy - Thoughts on the SM v GV and KL v AH???? I say GV to roll on into the big one and Keilor to bounce back on AH, though not confident.......

I would love to agree with your tips Bomber but believe Strathmore will get the week off and go straight through, but do agree Keilor will bounce back and thrash AH.
Interested to know your reasoning behind SM turning around 2 losses to GV, plus a loss to Keilor and going straight through??? What have you seen to think they turn it around?

Care to shed any light on those ins and outs Aber?? 1 point ain't to confident from a man such as yourself???

Greenvale in a real close one - 2 wins v Strathmore have been 9 points and 9 points - cant see the margin being much greater either way!
In terms of Strathmore turning it around, there is nothing in it but Greenvale will hang on in a close one!
Keilor to win by 10 points - with Avondale being unable to hold onto a half time and three quarter time lead!

Have no real theory just a gut feeling, but Douttas bet Strathmore last year and didn't come close in either final. You would have to say Greenvale are a better side than what Douttas were, but 18 points in two games isn't very much at all.
Would be surprised if Strathmore had there very best team on the park yet this year.
Maybe Abers could confirm or deny this. And Abers don't give us this one point margin rubbish I am sure you are feeling a little more confident than that.
