SAAFL Div 1 2008

Easy to answer - given they are change rooms, I was getting changed. And who doesn't have a camera phone nowadays? Actually went and grabbed it out of the car when I saw that sign on the wall.

I'll give you another slant on cameras in changerooms.

Our club put 2 security cameras inside the home changerooms in an effort to pinpoint who was doing internal damage to walls with mud, fists, cricket bats etc. something that costs the club $100's each season. It appears that after being 'dobbed in' by a parent, we may, at the insistance of the police, have to remove them. I wonder what that dobbing parent would do if;
his child had his clothes pinched by someone or he was assaulted by someone? Having the cameras could pinpoint the culprit but because we are living in a world of politically correct do-gooders, the chance of finding that person might be lost.
Looks like clubs that try to overcome issues with modern ideas, get every available hurdle thrown in front of them!

Any comments?

I understand the reasons for putting the camera in there, but you have to be really careful when kids are around. Anytime we work with kids through uni we have to have written permission from parents if they are to be inolved in any filming, or photos of any kind. And that's just at a school, not in changerooms, which would open another can of worms...

I hear Broadview beat Gaza by 4 points after being 4 goals down at 3/4 time. Them winning is as interesting as to Gaza's inevitable choking though it seems it's 4 or 5 weeks earlier than normal

Gaza have really hit a brick wall, Mead had stated early in the year they were 5 weeks behind schedule after a slack pre-season, who's fault's that?
Looks like their more than 5 weeks behind, still a chance of not making finals actually, even if they do make it, it'll be a elimination & they'll be out first up.

[barbs]

If your not fit by round 16 what does it matter? By the end of the year it's equal footing.

Really!!!!

Henley beat Goodwood saints today by 5 goals, they'd want to give some credit to their ex assistant coach who's not only copped alot of criticism by his old club for leaving but probably hasn't realised how much he has helped the Sharks this year with information regarding the opposition.
An A grade player has been phoning him for info, re- opposition most weeks for the majority of the year as no one currently on their coaching staff would have any idea of the opposition, if it wasn't for this bloke they'd be sitting outside the 5 even though they have spent a quid to win a flag. It'll be interesting to see if they thank him professionally end of year or their just using him up.

So why does he give them the info? Don't tell me it's because he likes them down there 'cause I don't think it's a mutual feeling!

Perhaps he's bigger than them. I wouldn't be too worried about not being liked or respected by that trash. They're hardly models of society.

If you read my post properly CC you'd gather they havn't much time for him only coz he was up front & honest with them & its obvious some people ( the club ) can't handle the truth.
Theirs no doubt he is bigger than them, he knows it & they know it, regardless what you think CC.
The writings on the wall & this blokes getting nothing out of helping these backstabbing losers so why do it i say?
Its got me f----d, i'd let them suffer.

NM, there are a couple of clubs down in that direction that think they are a bit above most other clubs, Henley being one of them. They would get Jack sh#t out of me based on that theory alone. Let them do their own homework, if they're that good, they don't need outside help!

I hear Broadview beat Gaza by 4 points after being 4 goals down at 3/4 time. Them winning is as interesting as to Gaza's inevitable choking though it seems it's 4 or 5 weeks earlier than normal

Great win by the boys, CC i know you took us to task about not going in for the Trophy presentation at Gepps that day (even though you had already won it, so no change of hands was needed) but i was watching on Sat, Broadview V Gaza always play for the Kate Ellis MP cup. I saw the Broadies guys wait for the presentation but it appears the Gaza President "forgot" to bring it with him, obviuosly you never would have picked us to beat them but you are tempting fate with that kind of arrogance. Great day, even better listening to Meady going off his tree after the game but to be honest, he was totally out coached on the day, Ollie really took it up to him. Bravo boys, hopefully can get something out of this season yet.

Should be a great game this week Shirtfront & Rotter against Port Districts, especially after you both had great wins last Saturday. Another couple of wins could see you escape relegation.

Yeah, its the 1948 Preimership Celebration too, Broadies wearing a Heritage Strip. Big day for the club, Largs Legends also invited to join the Tired Tigers. Should be a bumper crowd, with plenty riding on the game.

Great win, well done to the Broadie boys.

I hear all is not well at Klemzig, had their share of injuries but heard some senior boys are not happy with the main man!

Will Mead want to be at Gaza next year?

I remember a reading a couple of times in the year(messenger, sportsbeat) that Gaza were behind schedule as far as training goes. Sounds like a poor excuse to me. Should have done something to fix it when he first noticed. Either the players aren't committed enough or the coaching staff are unorganised.

Early tip, Gaza to be relegated in 2009.

TBS, that's a big call made early, what did you eat for lunch?? Not magic mushroom soup I hope.

[The Big Shrek]

Boyle, Haythorpe, Merritt and MacGregor to leave next year. The rest will fall away. Gaza to go down to div 3.
