Cheer's mate, how the cobra's looking this year? Haven't heard much from down that way this year.

No news from our way is probably a good thing after our finals series, haha.

Nah, no news. We have the right list as our home and away results will show. But just trying to do things better and bigger this year with what we have...and at the right time of the year! Better balance/attitude etc and really looking for improvement from within and our kids coming through.

Much over that way?

Urie's and Tyson on the move from NNS. Someone told me the other day Santo is having a kick with you guys. Think you will improve a fair bit?

Are you saying GB would get paid by the club or the league?

As capable as he might seem I wouldn't be paying anyone money unless there were KPI's in place. Maybe pay a small base payment and then bonuses occur depending on his performance or success rate. I.E. 15 kids come and stay he gets so much extra. 30 kids come and stay hegets paid even more extra.

Otherwise you would risk spending a hell of a lot for very little return.

Please don't take this the wrong way but just trying to share an idea that might help the club.
I did buy 2 tickets for the car a couple of years ago. so even tho I might be aligned to another club I don't mind helping out and others are the same as long as they see you guys are seen as trying to do the right thing as well.

Nah Im not there anymore, mate. Gave it away after 16 years at the end of 2010.

The feeling at the time was that the junior committee wasnt working and so the club disbanded it in favour of one person (a junior liason officer) taking the responsibility of promoting the club, gathering helpers to conduct clinics in schools, distributing contra to the kids in schools, and creating a bond with a WDJFL club.

Yes there were KPI's being developed for the position. We had a pretty good compliment of juniors that year (not full teams but close to) and the idea was that under the watchful eye of the committee, this would gather more kids to play footy at the club.

The role was advertised and indeed there was $20K up for grabs for the right person. A private sponsor put the money forward for that.

For whatever reason, this did not occur. Once I handed the chair over at the AGM, I left and havent been back. From memory, Piezy wasnt there in 2011 so I dont know what happened after that.

Santo signed but has now retired from all footy but if he does play it will be with us. We are still in talks with a few other players. Urie's and Morrow are off to Korumburra which is a big loss for South also another couple heading back to Warragul not sure if they have picked up many, Dusties have been pretty quiet but i'd say they will be final contenders again. Buln have picked up a few players and should be big improvers.

Ya right Plugger i was only went to the club last year, We as a playing group were not informed that the Juniors were in trouble until we turned up for round one. The wheel's are in motion again to try and get them up and running but it will be a long road ahead. Get down to Harvey Norman next Sat morning for a snag and chat about it all haha we are having a sausage sizzle and info morning down there. Happy Straya day everyone.
 
Haha no Surkin this Heath Black came from Yarragon and also played for Noble Park back in the day. Was very handy for his knowledge of the game. Has moved on to play footy with a mate not sure where to tho. Good luck to him he is a good bloke.
 
with only 2 months till round one thought it would be interesting to get everyones thoughts on a few things.
top 6, premiership, league b & f and league goal kicking.
Mine are
garfield
bunyip
dusties
cora lyn
neerim
nar nar goon

garfield to win it, shane brewster for league b & f and daniel johnson for goal kicking

Thoughts?????
 
I'll go
Garfield
Bunyip
Buln (as a surprise packet)
Dusties
Goon
Cora Lyn

Garfield should win the flag easily. Johnny Ikupu and Bob McCullum equal b&f. Danny Brewster goal kicking.

Funny read on facebook tonight one of the players has suggested the players be fined for not turning up to pre season training after they have only been getting between 8-12 blokes to training. Not too much support for his idea going on what some of the replies from teamates have been. Interested to hear how other teams numbers at training have been considering only 6-8 weeks till season starts.
 
What team leftfield?

We've been getting about 20 Monday and Wednesday's and about 15 on Fridays. Had over 50 faces in total just struggling to get everyone down on the same night. Not sure how having to train at pakenham has affected our numbers.
 
We have actually had 15 to 20, he just went off half cocked just wanting to make a Facebook status. We had 23 tonight. Considering we only had about 10 this time last year we are ahead. Garfield have had 40 or so every night I have heard, Ellinbank have been pretty low.

Just having a look through the clearances and there are a couple of clubs that have some big names coming in and out. Looks as though Garfield will be bolstered with Bee Hugo, De Gooyer and Soumilas coming back to the green and gold but Shane Reid is departing. I'm De Gooyer will be more than a replacement though. But loooks as though Cora lynn and Nar Nar Goon have lost some big names which may see them be weaker than previous years. Cora Lynn have lost two of their key forwards in Gillis and Kirkland, and Nar Nar Goon have lost their favourite son Brett Dore and also lose Zajac, Stocco and Kelly to Doveton. Neerim have lost Mick Urie and Tyssen Morrow who are following Chris to Korumburra. Koo Wee have picked up a couple of players from Cranbourme, Hampton Park and Narre so it will be interesting to see how they go!

M.Gillis who played 3 senior games and kicked 2 goals for the year?.. Righto mate.
 
Does anyone have any practice matches scheduled for this weekend or next??? will have a clearer picture on how everyone is travelling after first praccy matches
 
You probably wouldnt really, mate. Most coaches try things in praccy matches and some players dont play them as they see them as kick and giggle. You probably get a clear picture on how everyone is going after about R5 or R6, assuming of course one club doesnt have a dream run against a bunch of shite teams.
