Great pick-up for the Snowdogs. Bit of a come-down for Riley to now find himself in VAFA ranks though.

yes and no

been in the AFL system for 20+ years which can take its toll you would imagine.

Supposedly he had the year out of footy last year and he really missed being involved in a club environment, so having good relationship with Bentick from his Carlton days would of helped the cause enormously one would think as well as the strong culture down at the pit obviously looked appealing.

Obviously great for the league to have a coach who is held in such regard
 
snow dogs travelling very nicely

one superstar coach out in A.Rock however quickly filled with another whom would be at least the sam credentialed if not higher,

will do the right thing and await an official statement from the club before saying names...

Absolute plum job. Best list in the VAFA by some margin. Good president, strong committee and a large (if on occasions a somewhat obnoxious) supporter base. And if reports are correct they are not shy in paying top dollar to the right bloke either.

Dip my led to the St Bernie’s and St Kevs. Have been able to attract top line talent from outside the school/old boys network and reaped the rewards this year. Something I know my own club needs to do better.

somewhat true but cmon rooster imagine how boring the VAFA would be if these 'obnoxious' supporters weren't there!
 
Edited for accuracy.;)

Ha! very clever

but seriously, not one other ground has atmosphere other than the pit. Fact.

Whilst the standard of footy is regarded highly, the crowd numbers and crowd atmosphere in general would have to be the worst in the metro area and maybe even across the whole state! You know it, I know it, everyone knows it

thats where the infamous 'supporters on the hill' down at the pit come in!;)

Disagree entirely Brissel.

St Bernards have done a hell of a lot to get their act together on and off the field however the behaviour of some of your supporters still detracts from the clubs reputation. I also know that this has been a focus of your president and the committee.

Informed, passionate and loyal supporters add to the atmosphere and experience. Abusive, cowardly and ignorant supporters who swear incessantly and make physical threats to opposition players and supporters do not.

In my experience there are plenty of other ground with a far superior atmosphere than the pit.

Its the most dreaded road trip in Ammo footy. Its not the winning / losing scenario, its their appalling supporter
base and their behavoir.....
 
Seeing the AFL releases the 2016 season fixture tomorrow, when does the VAFA announce the 2016 draw? Wish to take a stab at who will play in Round 1 next year?

Why take a stab when we can just find out in March?
 
Old Carey co-coaches up on the VAFA website


It wont belong before VAFA Coaches, particularly A Grade will be full time positions. The demands on Caoaches is getting to the stage where full time emplyment will be the only way they can do their job correctly. The pressure is ever growing............

Not my opinion...... A comment made by one of the A grades best coaches. Been in the system for a numbe of years with success to his name. I thought his opinion might carry some weight. Obviously your good self and AM know better

yeh sorry maybe a bit forefront there…

But we would have to seriously re-evaluate where local footy is at if coaches are needed to go full time..
