its not only about numbers but quality has to be there

[Phantom Gossiper]

its not only about numbers but quality has to be there

So far not too many players from last season have started, but looks to be some ok looking quality, at worst some strong B graders/fringe A graders, but the big difference is the fitness levels overall look a hell of a lot better than last season so far!

Get a good block of training in before xmas, set the base and come out firing next season!

[Farmer Hughesy]

training is going well... good numbers with a few that look the goods!!!!
be good to see all the numbers out after xmas when the rest of the playing group come out!!!

Yes

Have Ingle Farm retained all their coaches from last season being the worst performed side in amateur league in 2009? And if so, how do they expect to improve with the same guys in charge, exempting the fact they've gone down a Division?

Can someone explain this to me as an outsider? Being the worst performed side in the amateur league in 2009, why were all the coaches reappointed at IF? Were there no other applicants?? (that would be the only answer that makes sense) Seems to me that the coaches aren't being held accountable for their teams dismal performances!!

......something smells down there at the farm..... and Glen 20 isn't going to remove the odour!!

You have to have the cattle 90% of the time...... A coach can only do so much

Yes

Should help the depth if he stays on....

Lacked the cattle to start with, no height, poor fitness and half the side was under the age of 18.

I thought the coaching staff did well with what they had last year and battled through the year, remaining positive and committed.. didnt just jump ship when the going got tough.

Farm has bit of work still to do but should start seeing improvements this season IMO.

Also i think there were sides who struggled just as much last season.. Glenunga, Kilburn, Central United, North Haven, Ovingham,

Understand they didn't have the cattle out there last year, but they obviously didn't have the coaches out there to improve them either.

Why would you stick with a lot that performed worse than Terry Wallace did this year?

As for the other clubs performing just as bad, didn't I/F only have one win between 3 grades? And an average losing margin of 20 goals for it's A grade? Not sure the other clubs could boast a record like that! It's sad to see all the great work Chris Kellet did at the club coming undone.

Chris Kellett did a great job culminating with a Div 5 flag in 2005. The reality is that the current A Grade coach is the 5th A Grade coach at the Farmers in 4 years since Chris departed. He hardly walked into a stable environment and deserves an opportunity to prove his ability as a coach. Those people close to the club are confident he can get the Farmers back on track. Developing teenagers into quality A Graders takes time. Be patient MT!!

[beeroclock]

Yep.

[Pearcey]

How true.
As most Div 1 clubs have plenty of their ex-juniors playing 'A' grade seniors, you have to ask what's happened to IF's juniors over the last 5 years. They have had some sensational kids, but why didn't they develop into sensational seniors?
Obviously I can only speak for Gepps but the number of kids I remember as 12 year olds now playing Div 1 footy, and making their mark, is fantastic, (compared to 4 or 5 years ago). There will be plenty more debuting in 2010, too.

Have had a few kids from other clubs, not necessarily IF, approach us about moving clubs. There's one common thread to their complaints - SCREAMING, SWEARING, OBNOXIOUS COACHES WHO PLAY FAVOURITES WITH THEIR OWN KIDS, WHO ALWAYS WIN THE B&F!

Get rid of these jerks and move forward, or die.

The greatest coach in the history of aussie rules could not of coached Ingle Farm to a win lastyear.
