I wouldnt call it bait. Id call it a gutless attack on our club from a pretty weak individual and your response hasnt been much better.

Regarding my previous posts about me respecting the RDFL, i failed to mention that my company sponsors 3 clubs in this league.

Bearsboy is done on this matter.

Another thing, im not Sharpy

Okay here goes ...

Last night was fantastic. I arrived at MacPherson Park not knowing what to expect. Obviously there was some nerves as it was only two weeks since I potted the RDFLUA in the newspaper.

It was surprising that many knew me from BigFooty (so be careful what you write fellas, they know who you are).

I am still recovering from my broken wrist so didn't bring gear to train, but was debriefed on the role of a junior umpire and then mingled with the ladies and gents when training ended.

Afterwards we all had a meal, talked some garbage etc. Had a yarn with the Semmens boys, and then about seven of us stayed and played poker. (Thanks to Ice for buying me in as I didn't bring any cash).

While I'm sure there will be a conflict of interest at some stage with my line of work, I think I'll enjoy this challenge.

Thanks goes out to blokes such as Ice, Rhys and Gilesy for making it easy for me to fit in.

Looks like my first game will be Sunday week, so any people wanting to come sledge me is welcome. Please know that I have the right to stop the game until you are ejected though fellas :D

Overall, some great blokes and shielas, and I look forward to next Wednesday night. For all those RDFLUA poker players reading this, be on notice that i'll be going one place better next week! Matt Nicholls is no runner-up when it comes to gambling. Isn't that right Mongrel? :thumbsu:

ok firstly i lived in gisborne for over 20 years and i am good friends with their coach and a lot of the players there.i dont have any issue with the players.my distain is for the club.when i was de listed from geelong,it was gisborne that contacted me first.i saw local gun players been pushed aside 4 high paid imports year after year.and it looked as though i was about to become another.i decided to play at macedon with hawkins,mcinernys etc,etc,etc.while gisborne spent up big on the likes of brad fox and co.when they had 5 or 6 local guns that werent of value to them coz they were locals and expected to play for nothing.also i made every 1 of gisbornes player look second rate each time we played.
YET as soon as gisborne went to a "better league" all of a sudden they became so called superstars.to good for the rdfl and too good for half the locals.and perhaps the numerous offers for mark mcinerny to come to gisborne as a onballer for their twos this year further highlights the clubs arrogance and disregard for local talent

Hey Mongrel - congrats on your start to the year.

On the McInerny 2's comment. Marcus got word when he was in Thialand that Mark wanted to join Gissy. He called Mark twice when he returned but did not hear from him. He saw Mark at an intraclub and was really keen for Mark to join Gissy as an midfielder in the 1's. A comment was made but a person who in no longer at the club to come and help the 2's midfield. Marcus was really disappointed by this comment - as he lived opposite Mark for a long time and would never disrepect him and consider him a 2's player.

All the people on here having a crack at BB's should settle down. There is no difference in saying come and see Gissy play this week as there was for the Roos players to get on the Ballarat League and invite everyone to come and see the 1st game of the year at Clarke oval. Why not promote your club? I thought both were good ideas.

There would be alot of people on this sight that are friends of and went to school with players that are playing on Saturday. Therefore - apart from the Bourban - might want to have a look. Calling Gissy arrogant for the success they have had is tall poppy syndrome and should be left alone. Any team in country Vic that has had the success would celebrate like Gissy have. They work hard and have been rewarded.

Good luck for the rest of the year.

Is that so i dont embarrass you any more . I'm done, but lets remember that your the one that started this by making comments that you couldnt back up with any facts.

If you couldnt afford the $5 entry into the family day you should have said something.
 
If i want to see a game of footy this week i might pop up, thats if my misses lets me.:D at the end of the day it's a game of footy and if you dont want to go there, there are other comps playing this weekend.

What are you, The "Opinion Police" now ?

The problem that you Gisborne people so conviently fail to recognise is my opinion is a popularly held one, here around R.D.F.L. football circles !

GISBORNE VS RDFL ALL STARS

IMS can u pick a side to possibly play the doggies at the end of the year.
although the rdfl has no chance,lol, i would love to provide the chance for numerous players in the rdfl to show their unrated talents
 
hey guys why the hell are we arguing about this gisborne topic, its simple, they come accross as arrogant and bbig headed ect because they have the flags hanging from the rafters, they can talk the talk cause they walked the walked, regardless of weather they have taken some of the talented players from our leauge.

but lets remember, aftewr they have been at the club for a couple of years they end up leaving and coming back to the rdfl, why???
because of the travel, so really the rdfl are the real winners, we get the kids back after spending some time in an elite country leauge, we are the winners, if they liked the club so much they will stay, but its the old argument of is a two's gisborne player (who mite get a ones game in the rdfl) willing to travell up to 3hrs for a game, or would it be easier to play locally??

i say enuf of that topic, i wqas talking to a mate who is a good player in the geelong fl, they just had there inter leauge last week, and he was sayiung that it has lost its appeal due to players not wanting to injure themselves for club footy.

i know that when the rdfl last played inter leauge a few yrs ago, i played 18's and we got smashed by the southern (seniors). would there be any interest in a inter leauge game with a leauge that maybe is country leauge that is round about the same as us?
i know were in metro, but really we would get smashed by any of the other metro leauges in victoria.

if we did go ahead with it, when would we play? QUEENS B-DAY W.END???? or duz that cut into to many ppls drinking sessions?
if it was a middle of the year event, who would be in the team RIGHT NOW, who is worthy of a game, regardless of what happens at the end of the year, who is the rdfl inter leauge team now?

just a thort and debate guys, maybe we could put in teams of who we think would play???

In my view I think it was pretty clear who provided the more valued and fact based opinions in this "Debate" and it certainly wasn't you BB.. But its all irrelevant...
I think that it has been made pretty clear that most on here have no issues with the players, coaches etc of Gissy KA, more the general attitude of the "Club" as a whole.. Remember that there are several other clubs in your district that time and time again have been overlooked for club improvements etc while the power club received the benefit's... I think that is the issue that cuts deeper with alot of people in the "Gissy" area. :thumbsu:
