C Section Prem C 2024

This a joke? They are in C grade and miles off promotion. More likely to get relegated next year then play finals… thats how big the gap is.

Previous coach did a wonderful job, let’s not act like they are a powerhouse club or will be any time soon. Are a d1/C grade club alongside many others.

No one suggested GE are a powerhouse club. Not bad though with 4 senior teams (3 men and 1 womens) and 2 under 19s. Very well sponsored and supported. Great effort in C grade unlike the other side that came up from D1. Also the only team outside the 4 to beat a side in the 4 during the season. So not a powerhouse but a successful season with potential for 2025.

Absolute potential to become a powerhouse club. Which would be exciting for any candidate. This is not a club on the decline or hoping to hang onto past success- it is a club on the rise.

Go have a look at the quality of clubs up the top of the VAFA Championships/winners since this become a thing.

Then look at the form line.

It will take work and an ambitious coach to help us get there- and we will.

You might laugh at that but people laughed when we said we would become a premier club.

No talent lost from the list for next year, in fact already added to.

Off the field plenty of returning and additional support also been added.

Predictions of our demise from you lot have been spouted for years now. You were as wrong then as you are now.

Not buying what you are selling mate. Can chat at end of 2025 though and happy to be proven wrong.

Just one of the best coaches in the Vafa that held the place together

He has , done more than coach

You blokes crack me up.

As I mentioned you've both been wrong about us consistently so it doesn't really matter what you're buying, you're assessments in this area lack credibility.

It is strange to me this narrative you're pushing re Jon, I've had to defend him to you more than once and I was clearly talking about on field talent.

Jon was a great coach, no doubt about it. Seven years is a long time and it is the right time to look to the future.

I dont expect you to understand. Perhaps if your club was able to evolve you would still be in premier.

Nice ouch at the end.

Perhaps like the "retrograde" step that the super coach took to take the combine from D3 to the premier divisions. That's called a sense of achievement.

Following the dissolution of the marriage between SKOB and JE after his short stint as head coach it was rumoured he was extra keen on the role at Dairy Bell but apparently the feeling wasn't mutual. Because JE wanted to continue with the craft he took what was on offer. And to his credit, he did a sterling job at the glued-together outfit. Perhaps part of the reason he has pulled the pin is he feels the club has peaked and the time is right to move on.

The view expressed by Jimmy/James that there is a treasure trove of people wanting the job really adds quite some spit and polish. A club with a treasure trove of applicants doesn't put out feelers to every Tom, Dick, and Harriet.

Whomsoever the new head coach is it's important he likes a tipple so the BF scouts can keep the board up to date on the happenings there.

And the bit from J/J that the club could be a powerhouse is mockworthy. Consolidating in Prem 'C' was laudable but the glued-together pack was a mile off the top teams.

If the club needs someone in the promotion role J/J is the man. No one can confect and spin a story like he can.

For the millionth time, Glen Eira don’t have any under 19s teams this year. Their program is kaput and all their 19s have gone to Ormond. They have no way of replenishing their list and will slowly die as a club.

Having said that, their praccy game against Surrey Hills was a classic. GE Won by 4 goals in a full-on firebrand affair.

Some of the Surrey Hills players came for one of the young Glen Eira guns to “rough him up” and next thing you know the older Glen Eira boys surrounded the Surry Hills players and physically tore them to shreds.

4 or 5 Surry Hills players came off with their jumpers torn and blood pouring out. The Surrey Hills boys certainly learnt their lesson. Leave the younger GE boys alone, else the whole team is going to get you!!!!

Glen Eira isn’t much of a footy team, but they know how to fight given most of them are country boys brought up on farms.

C Grade be warned. You don’t want to upset some of these Glen Eira blokes else you might go home with a few teeth missing.
