Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2006 1:30 pmit is factual graham make no mistake about that.
Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2006 1:39 pmThe players are aware so its just a matter of time before sturt announce it. Its not a huge secret anymore.
Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2006 1:39 pmDasher despite being a controversial poster is usually spot on with his early calls.
Great news for Rick and great news for the Sturt FC if its the case, a fanatastic appointment and I wish Rick all the best.
I hope he gets the resources that will justify the job he does.

Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2006 1:50 pmand to think some of the people over on DB.org are upset that MacGowan got the job over Atkinson? 
Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2006 1:55 pmI hope he doesn't take too many young Eagles reserves players with him. Good luck to him though - I think he'll need it at Sturt for the next couple of years. Would imagine this would confirm Ron Fuller will coach the Eagles in 2007, if there was ever any doubt.

Not doubting you, most (not all) clubs are able to get it out to members/media first before it becomes public knowledge....

Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2006 2:56 pmExcellent choice Sturt. Congratulations Rick - I know he has coveted a senior coaching gig for some time and he has done the right thing by getting to as many clubs as possible in recent times to see what goes on outside of his playing environment.
