Ron Fuller to leave Eagles at season's end

[Jackal]

Crash helmet Mickyj is a gross exaggeration, a standard industrial hard hat will suffice.

[holden78]

We at Holden 78 are enjoying the sunlight now the gloom of the last few aimless years is being cast aside ; so kind of you to care or is there a hint of vineger still because the club made a tough call ( finally ) on Ron . te="MightyEagles"]Why don't you put your hat into the ring Holden78. As it seams that you have a lot of opinions on what the club should do and where it is going. Come on enlighten us on what you are doing.[/quote]

Think a little deeper Bigfella , PYMAN is ex Eagle player , AFL player and assistant coach , ex South coach who got them into finals (beat Port ) , and lives in Adelaide ! McGuinness has basically the same record and this year finishes up with Power ! Both are known to only want part time footy position , which fits our club ala Fuller . Eagles will only pay $ in line with part time coaching job , unlike say West . These two have the advantage that comes with footy at the highest level with regard to tactics and recruiting . So you dont think that the Eagles need help with either ? Think again ! [ Quote="Mickyj"]

PYMAN and Mcguinness have the most boxes ticked , it depends how highly the Eagles rate AFL experience ; if Macgowan was to come back home then that would really make for an interesting situation for us and Norwood .

holden what boxes are u talking about .
Pyman ruined south or made them worse off .just ask a panthers fan or player .I have .
Mcguinness did nothing with glenelg didn't we as a club stop the bays one year with him as coach .
Neither are good enough IMHO.[/quote]

yep Eagles need help with recruiting (but u said two weeks ago they were talking with players and I know that was an untrue statement)
Pyeman stuffed south up further.and I have been told by a south player that he stuffed up the panthers.
Mcguinness and I quote from a glenelg fan you dont want him he has a fowl mouth when addressing the players .Makes jeffries look like an angel.
Was told last night by a centrals fan Rodgers is the one the club wants .Now how he was told that when we have all been told he doesnt want the job.

The club will pick the right man.In WWTFC we trust

McGuinness coaching record is 9th, 4th, 9th ... no finals wins.

And if you do go for him you'd better lock up your women ... oops, did I say that?

spellcheck may answer this but didn't the Eagles knock the bays out of the finals under Tony McGuinness

[dedja]

The Eagles beat the Bays in the '99 qualifying final, then the Bays lost to Norwood in the 1st semi.

No , its true , unless your not going to believe our CEO ! You might like to ask him on Saturday at the Parade . While your at it , ask him what he thought of his little chat with Bassett re. coaching us ! Now Bigfella , ex players who probably have issues with a coach , surely wouldnt be the best source of info re. what a guy could potentially offer us as a coach . Thats like saying all the players will be sorry Fuller is going , and we know thats not the case ! Dont get juiced up by ex players , most are biased too far ; look harder at the facts ie. who can potentially offer the club what Fuller couldnt , who could have the greatest impact towards the next flag etc.

H78 I wouldn't be taking a South's player word on if Pyman can coach or not. It is no secret that Pyman told some home truths on certain players and South's subsequent results as result of the board aceeding to player power - well you reep what you sow...

Sadly either would I, as AM Bays points out, Pyes hardly held himself back in exactly what he thought in the time that he was at the club, and its reported in the review that the SAFC undertook that several players in the club were doing their best to whiteant him. Its also rumoured that at least one of these players had quite the time slagging off the club at various social events and it is these players whose side the club took over the coach and I dont doubt that is the reason why the club is currently in the position that it is now.

The other thing that should be borne in mind is that in his last year of Coaching the SAFC, Robert Pyman's daughter was undergoing treatment for Cancer, I dont know how you might react if that happened to you, yet I would be downright devastated, If people suggest that he was into himself at the time is that really any great surprise? Plenty more I can say on that subject, yet I do hope that he gets another go at another SANFL side and shoves it right up those that had it in for him.

If Pyman was THE SOLE PROBLEM at South then things should have improved over the last two years after he was removed.

MMM I never mentioned Basset but he is just another name which they all are at this stage.Not sure who the ex players you are talking about my source down south is a current player
Pretty sure the powers that be know more than myself.
Now Heard the names
Bassett
Pyeman
Mcgineuss
Colville
Rodgers(was assured by a centrals fan who was told by an eagles trainer he is a shoe in Urban myth IMHO)
Jarman is coming home to coach Norwood or the Eagles
And of course Mark Jeffries
Hell was even thrown the name Jonas the other night

pyman like Jarman tried to buy a flag.
BUT Pyman just equals problems Phil lets leave it at that .

Colville, Jonas, McGowan, Jarman I think would be good. Bassett would be good too, provided he comitted for his allotted time and didn't have an eye on an AFL position. Pyman maybe. Not really in favour of Rogers despite his standing as a player at the club.

[matt1]

Sorry all, my mail from the Club is that they have not spoken with anyone in regard to the position as yet. The person I spoke to is confident that they will get some good quality candidates though when they do advertise the role. I can;t see the job going to anyone from within the Club though. Jeffries comments during the week in the paper didn't do him any favours in the office from what I hear.

Sounds sensible, your boys still have a very live season on their hands.

Matt1 if your correct Holden78 is telling untruths again like all those players the club was speaking to two weeks ago.

[holden78]

What are you on mickij ? They have spoken to some players and they have sounded out bassett, dont tell me you have been working long days again like a couple of weeks ago Re the coaching job mickij you said about colville please now that would be a big step backwards as would rodgers

I only posted what I have been told or read online .Hell I even forget about the weeds name talk about going backwards.
A they'd be silly not to talk to all and sundry re the coaching job
B they'd be silly to tell holden78 or mickyj who they like or have in fact spoken to.
C I'm not on anything mate I'm rather straight edge don't drink or smoke .Gee I sound like a certain wrestler Just say no people

[centrecirclelegend]

we shouldn't we crossing out a coach who has AFL aspirations.......

if he gets us up........it strengthens his case........
