I also have a shiny premiership medal.

Wish we all could merge with another club to win one of those!!

Tall poppy syndrome (TPS) is a pejorative term primarily used in Commonwealth English to describe a social phenomenon in which people of genuine merit are resented, attacked, cut down, or criticized because their talents or achievements elevate them above or distinguish them from their peers.

Which club did they merge with ??

they didnt merge with a club, it was a changing of the names to accomadate the old scholars that are already playing their from mercedes and to help with a path for the students when they leave that school to play at a football club.

Is Mercedes Old Scholars Football Club a registered entity? I have a few mates that did attend that school and I seem to recall a facebook group canvassing for numbers to form a football club

"In 2012 the senior grades will be augmented by a trial merger with Mercedes College Old Scholars FC as approved by a Special General Meeting in December."

Mercedes College Old Scholars - Adelaide
April 16
A big thank you to all our Old Scholars who came out to support the Unley Mercedes Jets Footballers in their opening games on Saturday. Thank you to all the girls who dressed up sensationally for Ladies Day - it was a brilliant day and a great start for our newly merged Football Club - The Unley Mercedes Jets.

Looking forward to next year when North Haven will merge with the non existent Ocean View College Old Scholars and enjoy all the benefits that come with it. (Yes I do appreciate the absurdity of using the terms Ocean View College and Scholar in the same sentence)

Only problem you have is any of them leaving school are probably still eligible to play u/16's

Who did you steal it from?

[Footy Smart]

Heard Todd Sheppard from GG isnt able to play next season due to work? would be a massive loss

[turk186]

Greenies have appointed Shane Gepp as the "A" grade coach for next year.....

I wish him all the best

[BurraBoys]

Heard Todd Sheppard from GG isnt able to play next season due to work? would be a massive loss

Not 100% correct. He has obtained a position in the Police Academy and will undertaking his training. He wants to play but his full time availability and commitment to training is going to be less. Not sure how much it will affect yet but as of last conversation with him, his intention is to play as much as he can.

ah yep, may be tough when he first starts but after that should be able to wrangle his shifts. no doubt he will keep fit anyway so not training shouldnt be an issue.

[BurraBoys]

Starts on Tuesday so by the time season proper comes around he should be pretty right.
Generally good with injury as well. I know that can be a big concern for new police recruits. Missing work because of footy stuff.
May step back as Captain though. Depends on capacity to train? I don't want to put words in mouths with that though. Is a good on field leader

We know we need more top line midfield support anyway. Irrespective of what Todd does, we will be looking to add to that area.

[Johno6]

i heard few players were takin a year off next year for various reasons.

[BurraBoys]

Johno, can only think of 2 guys who played A-grade this year who have confirmed that. Another one is unsure.
A lot will depend on who is coaching i reckon

[Johno6]

Yeah agreed mate the coach will help make people's or change people's decisions
