Carson twice has done a hammy against BPH, age maybe getting the better, not sure on what they are paying him but if it is big coin, couldn`t that coin be thrown at several accomplished players, it has been shown that clubs that load up on the stars usually fall flat on there arse and struggle to recover. i cant see BPH beating Bannockburn but on there last encounter BPH have 5 top ins and Bannock have 2

Bannockburn has only played one game of substance in 2 months (2nd semi). Inc 2 byes and 4 soft kills from round 15-18 against opponents who had put the cue in the rack. Hardly the best preparation for a Grand Final no matter how healthy their list is. Add 30 ml of rain Friday and a battle in the trenches awaits.

Even though it may be only a handful, this could run into the thousands of dollars! Puts them behind the rest of the league already in regards to next year and this year hasn'teven finished.
Any truth that this is the end for Joel Page after this weeks game? Are work commitments getting in the way of footy? Ripping footballer, even better bloke. One of the finest and more professional footballers in the GDFL

Never put Dracula in charge of the blood bank.
I made a few calls and this is what I found out

1 Corio started the season in debt with no footballs or jumpers and needed GDFL support

2 most marquee players have been paid in full or have a handful of games owed

3 the club has not been supported well by locals and really only income has bee via netball functions etc

4 most players have not paid fees at all or only $50 of fees making life hard for the committee

5 over $20,000 from sponsors including the two major ones are yet to pay their accounts despite being invoiced early in the season

6 most of committee walking away because they are burnt out and were not supported by playing group all year

7 senior coach has had a relationship breakdown and lost his job and moved to other side of Melbourne with new partner and seeking opportunities closer to home as playing group don't respect him

Seems like same old Corio rotting at the core and finger pointing, I was told GDFL instructed the club to pay the players last after other accounts once sponsors pay up and players not happy

No wonder they lose presidents and committees every year because the joints full of shit bricks

nathan boyd still hasnt been paid will he stay or walk ?????
I heard his walking seeking a coaching gig closer to home as players don't rate him and his been white anted all year.

Heard Corio owe him a payment which is 10 days late already but it's less than $1500 owed for whole season and hardly panic stations

Pity if it's true because he did a great job in trying circumstances and I was told he pretty much supplied his own footies and stuff because players kept stealing them as fast as the club supplied them

Clubs a joke and needs a clean out I reckon, heard that AFL Barwon have them on notice because of parent and player misconduct and other clubs don't want to play them

I was told by a woman in the know that if Corios sponsors pay up they can meet expenses so long as they don't pay players who didn't pay fees. They just paid nearly 10 thousand to AFL for insurance and stuff so they must have done ok considering the lack of player support

So Corio won't pay the players that haven't paid there fees? if a players owes the club say $100 and Corio owes the player $500 why not give them the $400? thats Corio trying to rip the player off.

Corio shouldnt have been playing the players to start with. How are clubs supposed to get on the front foot early in the season i.e stock bars, canteens, medical supplies, insurances etc when these players dont have the decency to pay their fees before the start of the season. Plain and simple, if you are not paid up then you dont play, that counts for seniors and reserves. And if that means that you run out with players that are incapable of playing at that level then so be it!
I would rather have players that are committed to the club and the cause, and be a paid up valuable member then someone who still owes $100 after the season has finished.
Pay the players that are paid up, give the rest nothing!
Couldn't agree more no wonder they have struggled year after year the joints full of shit bricks.

Better to demolish the wall and start with new decent bricks

From what I am told the club was in such a bad way when committee took over that one committee member was bank rolling the club before they walked away because of the shit bricks

I spoke to two committee members from 2015 and same happened then the treasurer and president in that year were using their own money again to keep the club afloat

Seems the shit bricks over there been destroying their club year on year

No wonder they keep losing players and coaches

As a outsider i thought things maybe improving at the start of the season.Now the coach is gone .I believe the president has had a gut full of no helpers and mis management.The culture is shit and has been for decades Unfortunately wouldn't matter if Bomber Thompson coached them it would still be the lack of respect for the coach.Its a culture which will not change and is time the league stepped in and folded the club up.Sad but true.It is a working class community but it just hasn't worked and by reading past comments it will be hard to attract future players and coaches..

I was told things were so bad with lack of helpers and shit attitudes around the place that the President had to discharge himself from hospital and attend a game just so things got done. The canteen lady had a heart scare or something like that from all the stress she was under with no help and she had to walk away for health reasons. The netball people managed their section well but are burnt out too with lack of support and the poor bloke that was running the juniors has had a hell of a year with parents and players bringing the clubs name down further. I was at a junior game at West oval earlier in the year and the parents and players were disgraceful.

I am not surprised that the president and most of the committee are all walking away and I would not be surprised if they lost sponsors too as a result. I am amazed they have managed to keep most of it out of the papers to be honest some of the shit those under 16's have done is disgusting and paints a sad future for the club.

I agree put the club into recess for a while, the cricket club at Corio is just as bad it's sad to see actually because so many people tried so many times to fix the joint

Well said Truthserum.I was told by a good source at the club that supplies from the cricket beer food etc was being sold at cost price and the president stepped in .It is not a place to work to rectify things as you get no thanks and the shit heads will always bring you down. President could not wait for the season to end.Pity some handy players but you can't sore like an eagle while the turkeys drag you down.As far as the juniors they seem to have plenty but poor parenting and lack of respect creates poor attitude on the field.Apples don't fall far from the trees.

Surprise Surprise word is that it was the Corio boys in the action after the grand final, one escaping in hand cuffs and the others pepper sprayed.

Been more issues with the BFL then GDFL over the last few season like Ammos and Torquay grand final fights and players spitting on spectaculars this year etc.
Y
An on field fight in a BFL GF? You seriously compare that to arrests at this years GDFL, fights at N.Geelong last year after the GF, a bloke getting killed at E Geelong after a GF few years ago. Look online at Corios Colts and Under 16's tribunal record this year, including the coach who didn't even turn up to the tribunal. No thanks, keep BFL out of this league please.

Below on Krock Footy, Winch have a coach so that would leave.....?

BPH and North Geelong for next year, possibly Corio?

NEWLY appointed Winchelsea coach Brendan Forssman hopes the experience gained from a playing a role in Grovedale’s return to GFL relevance will hold him in good stead at the GDFL battler.

Forssman, who has spent eight years as an assistant to the like of Peter Raidme, Harvey Lang, Grant Tanner, and current Tigers coach Craig McCaughan, was this morning confirmed as the Blues new coach for at least the next two years, filling the role made vacant by Luke Rayner’s move to Bell Park.

“I’m not going in blind to the challenge ahead of me at Winchelsea,” Forssman said.
