I've always thought that it's kind of creepy..
Re: Clinnick, they may be underachieving given the expectation that their recruiting placed on them but ultimately he got them a flag so he had a reasonably succesful tenure.

Gday Star, I drove past Strathmore's ground at 6:10pm and lights were on but not one person on the ground. I'm guessing they must have all been in a meeting.
Is May coaching the remainder of the season or just until they find a replacement? The reason for my question is, to my knowledge May hasn't coached a senior team before so it's a big risk appointing an inexperienced coach to coach a premier club, especially one like Strathmore. Plus it's not easy coaching players you have played with. Your views??

Back onto the subject of West Coburg & Shore Reserve. Here's a thought! I reckon the vacant land beside Coburgs City Oval would be ideal to put another footy oval. Perfect location..They could give the ground to West Coburg and let Coburg train on it some nights. Bit like Casey where there are 2 ovals. Then just use Shore Res for junior footy 10-14s. The other problem with Shore Reserve is the away rooms. The "open" toilets & showers are not up to standard. Any thoughts BF followers!!
Paco away rooms aren't much different from memory Turbo?
You're very perceptive Turbo. Yes, the senior playing group had a meeting prior to training last night, obviously to advise them of the news.
Dale May will be the interim coach for the remainder of the season.
No, May has not coached a senior team although he has successfully run the Under 16 programme at the club and developed some elite talent using the senior blueprint that now runs from the seniors down to the U10s (in a modified form). Everyone will have their opinion but having seen his work at close quarters with the 16A's, I think he will make an excellent senior coach.
No, I don't imagine it is easy coaching team mates but he certainly commands respect of the playing group given his long tenure as club captain. Even though he will unlikely play during this period (with his knee injury) we have seen many instances of Captain Coaches at the level so it is not unusual.

Campaigning against Shore reserve are we Turbo?
Every ground has it's difficulties, whether it's Greenvale with the wind and losing balls in surrounding paddocks or smaller grounds like West Coburg, Paco or Marby - each adds to the challenge of playing there and by extension to the overall character of the club.
Not

While most are focusing on the size of Shore Reserve has anyone taken into account there is a cricket pitch in the middle ?Campaigning against Shore reserve are we Turbo?

They're going really well West Coburg and good on them. Big 3 weeks with Paco, Strathmore and Greenvale will give an indication whether they are a finals contender or not but they can't have much more impressive thus far
Some massive games this weekend.
Greenvale need to win to stay ahead of the chasing pack.
West Coburg have the chance to go 2 games clear of Paco & possibly Douttas
A Strathmore win will keep their slim finals chances still alive
A Douttas win will keep them in touch - possibly equal on points with 3rd depending on other results

Called Bill Shorten but he said isn't that Phil Clearlys old club? Lol
Just trying to generate some fair discussion. I'm guessing I'm banging my head against a brick wall as they will probably decide to build houses there, but if there's enough space it's the perfect location for an ajoining oval.

Subway, agree WC are going along well and a big game this Saturday to see where you are at. If you beat Paco at Paco, "wow" we will all sit and take notice. I can't see Paco losing this one but I will be interested in the scores.

Don't forget The visitors bench seat is not in the right location near where the players come off & on. If it rains all your equipment get wet and there is no where for the bench players to sit. I'm not blaming WC but surely these little things could be fixed..
Anyway I will move on..

People have been talking about U16s on BF for nearly 10 years and the threads are heavily moderated when required.
We've talked about guys like Peter Wright, Touk Miller, any number of the Keilor boys who've been drafted into the AFL, a host of kids who went on to play Cannons, Vic Metro, VFL and players who already play prominent roles in their clubs long before they were even heard of. I guess being heavily involved in junior footy has driven me to talk about it and I certainly don't feel it's ever been in bad taste.
Massive call putting an under 16 coach in as senior coach, Especially with players with higher level experience on the list. Could lead to more disharmony.
I can see this ending very badly for strathmore
I assume however that May must be a quality role model on and off the track, i wish him well
I tuned into EDFL Tonight last night for a listen.
I understand it's not an easy gig and in the whole they do a good job of trying to cover 3 different leagues but, i found it hard to listen to "Jambo" talk about interleague.
All he wanted to do was be dismissive of the whole concept, he made observations on the game itself, whilst acknowledging that he didn't attend the game. Made comment that Brewer was great across Half Back (i didn't see him play across half back all day)
He also made comment that the players didn't embrace the concept and that AFL VIC should put up $100k for the winner of the #1 league ranking. He made out that a number of players didn't participate because they weren't going to be paid accordingly, and even said himself he was making players sound like "prostitutes". Then followed that up by saying that 13 of the players that represented the league would be walk up starts in the leagues best 22,
As a great supporter of the EDFL it was really hard to listen to someone making these comments when they were clearly ill informed about a large aspect of what they were talking about, and i thought quite disrespectful to the players

We can stop blaming west coburg for having to play at Shore Reserve. West Coburg was scheduled to play 8 home games at City Oval which i think we can all agree is the equal of any facility in the competition. It was AFL Victoria in conjunction with i can only assume the EDFL and the local council that said the games could not be played there because of the state of the ground.
What sort of bullshit is that? Its a council facility so why are AFL Victoria allowed to dictate how is is utilised. Once again its West Coburg that gets the raw end of the deal

Jambo has got no idea about football. Everything he says is biase towards EDS. His mate Adem is just as bad. Got no idea about modern football. The league has gone backwards with these to doing the radio. The league should spend the money and get tony schibeci to host the show, then get former/current players & coaches to feature on the show to bring some intelligence and insite.

Schibeci would be great. Not sure he has the time but I agree he would be great. Very funny man.
I'm guessing it's based on money spent who they get. Even people like Phillios, Haro, Keogh, Papal would be great to run these things but they probably have a busy schedule.
But yes it's probably time to step it up a notch..

Fair points. How does City Oval get that bad as no juniors play there. Council should fix it up. I'm not anti WC and acknowledge they are making an effort to move forward which I applaud but council & AFL Victoria should assist these types of things..
Listening to "Jambo" as an EDS supporter is cringeworthy. Last weeks coverage of the West Coburg game was embarrassing. He only ever got excited when EDS did something, or make excuses when WC had control. Gave no credit to the better team.
Pillios has gone onto bigger and better things but he was fantastic and passionate about how the EDFL. The board should be looking at using some of it's massive cash reserves it takes from the clubs and putting back into the coverage, social media and image of the competition.
Agree, people use to pot Pillios but he was great. Very professional and knowledgeable, the league should look at him to overlook the media department.
