Sorry Zelezney, can't embed any more quotes.
Reynella are a club well worthy of the Div 1 SFL and they will stay that way.
I hope the Bush Pigs get close to that sort of success U14s are leading the way.

Juniors have been leading the way at Flaggies for too long now.

Really hate people saying this....

Our first Div 1 Flag was in 2003 with the Under 14's going undeftead, that is 5 years ago, those kids are now 18/19

Then in 2004 we went back to back, so these kids are now 17/18

In 2005 our Under 18's won the flag, so these guys are only 20/21/22 now

In 2007 we won the 16's, same story, would only be 17/18 now



And this year we won the Under 14's again

Now tell me how we are expected to be winning A Grade flags as it seems some people think we should? Out of the recent 6 seasons and with all the Junior sucess only a few are 22, the rest are all still 17/18/19. Name a team which has been dominant in SFL A Grade with a team made up of people that age? Keep in mind that we have limited experiance outside of these youngsters, i.e the older blokes in the team are all only 26.

I'm not defending our team because of our age, it is time we grew up and started winning against the top 6 sides, but for people to say we have been living of our Juniors is just wrong. Having strong Juniors doesnt recruit A Grade stars to the club, people generally play their best footy at ages 22 to probably 28, so the time is here for Flaggy to take on the top 6, but people have got to relise the kids who were making Flaggy so succesful in Juniors are still kids/teenagers.

great post, make sense and should shut alot of people up!

Hey BRD i was having a beer with SWOOPER and he told me that your recent hiatus from this site was due to you forgetting your loggin password... any truth?

No but a strong junior program does attract quality coaches who in turn are usually able to bring at least 1-2 strong recruits. Think people have expected flaggies to be further along the road then where they sit currently.

Morphies and now cove have shown the right approach to SFL success and that is the blueprint Flaggies should be endeavouring to follow.

And how long ago did Morphies and Cove start developing this? A long time before Flaggies, also Cove have had a burst of housing in their area, brining in plenty of new senior talent.

Our strong Junior program has attracted quality coaches, Ian Cox and Steve Green being the standouts, now for what ever reason, im not sure, neither of these coaches brought in new players (all of our new players came through players already at the club being mates with them). I also dont think Coaches bring in new players unless the club has money to splash around, which Flaggies certainly dont.

i'd say T EXPRESS would have to be one of those easy targets at this stage of the discussion!!
im not really sure he is well informed down at reynalla

spoke to bomber a couple of weeks ago and told me he wouldnt be coaching B grade next year but would highly consider a step up to the A grade if approached. i guess we'll wait and see on that one............

Junior success may not equate to Senior flags but being a club that can continually fill all the junior ranks year after year is a club the SFL needs.
EDWARDSTOWN BUGGER OFF!
We need more sponsorship for money to buy a Pottsey type coach and couple of ring-ins. A 5 year plan with huge parent/volunteer contribution all over the club and top 4 here we come. After that success should breeds success.
Swooper you forgot the Valley boys. With Stringer and his ring-ins in the 90s they have set them self up for life as a top 8 club, subject to any massive upheaval .
EDWARDSTOWN full package or BUGGER OFF!

On the subjest of Hackham's culture.
All you guys from what ever club you're with I'm sure all have some level of culture there aswell.
Some of you may be older now and over it or older now with more disposable income and into more expensive habbits but you'd be lying to say your own club dosen't have it going on.
Hackham blew it cos they didn't have enough good people running the club to prevent them from making their mistakes. had nothing to do with it.

Not just the alleged but what about the pokies? I believe they were a massive part of the Hawks demise. When foooty clubs turn into "Community Clubs" bye bye $$$ that go towards the clubs.

Spot on Never. The is irrelevant.
They got the poison pokies carrot dangled in front of them and they didn't have enough wise people to say NO. And with that the financial control and success of the club took on its unfortunate decline.
May be the League should have helped them with some advice cos now no matter what they do they are always gonna be at the mercy of the soccer and marching girls. Or should I say marching and soccer girls.

Don't forget the CFS (Country Fire Starters). Maybe they all saw the dollar signs in their eyes and didn't think of the turmoil it would bring in the future. Taking 10% or whatever it was is f all to run a footy club.

Well R.E in agree with you to a point.I think your club is really on the right track and yes all your players in your A grade are young in years and games played but player retention over the years at Flaggies has been a bit of a problem.You have had some reaaly good footballers play there and left for various reasons.Some needed to go as they were cancers in your club e.g. The Barclay boys,Willment and others left for reasons not known.Last season your C grade won the flag and the team you had there was vastly better than your B grade.I know for a fact that Coxy and Frase were pissed off with this as players refused to play B grade so they could play in a premiership.This would not happen at to many other clubs and certainly affects the culture of your club.Does this send a positive message to your younger players coming thru ??? I dont think so !!!!
The sooner players like your C GRADE PREMIERSHIP COACH and others are out positions of influence the sooner you will move forward and give your younger players the culture they deserve.Your success at junior level i applaud as this will be where your success starts and i think listening to Steve Green during the finals,he is a ripper coach as well as Fraser,in fact you have great coaches all thru your Sat grades and a great President in Brett.

Marion and Brighton are both part of community clubs and have won premierships in the last ten years. Marion have a full suite of poker machines that are open before the u/14's game starts each week.

I think reynella have to look forward now, evans is gone, like it or not move on. If you really want to look at the facts, the facts are Reynella A grade went from palying in two grand finals agianst a dominant emus, to loosing in a prelim, to not making a prelim.
Not blaming evans at all, but they are the facts. From what i hear/know Evans is well liked and brought some good players to the club, I'm not having a go at him, but move one.

Any candidates for the new coach? will Moore stay? My guess butcher will leave? Mensforth?

Hey Flyer, apparently Evans has the gig at Edwardtown for their debut season in the SFL, do you think there is any danger of any/many Reynella players following him? Say Butcher perhaps, didnt Evans bring him to Reynella? Or any of the newer recruits? Moore maybe?

Or perhaps even the keenest Evans fan of them all, FLY? (would Fly then change his login to TOWN?)

We are all wondering if the fly will be changing his login and footy club? or maybe its the man himself - hahaha! either way he definitely has a soft spot for the big man!
From an opinion of an outsider looking in (ie -not an A grade player or official), i would say butcher could leave, and robo, moore will stay . There was talk of pressy leaving, but the club NEEDS him to stay, im sure that was just a rumour anyway! he's good role model for the juniors coming through!
they also need to play ALL their young guns next year as other clubs have (ie, pt noarlunga, brighton, noarlunga) I think M.Vale need to do the same!

Sorry to dissapoint you blokes but i wont be leaving Reynella but think the big fella was trated poorly by the club.Have been at oval road since i was a kid will play there until i retire.

You don't feel like filling the spot at full forward for the Towns fly?

Apparently Hibbard goes alright thought you would have known that as you seem an authority on most things to do with our club but maybe you have to get to know who you can hack on at Edwardstown

Nah... I like most the lads from Edwardstown. The Reynella boys keep me entertained, I don't need much bait when I go fishing there.

Hackham has always been a community club, way before the Pokies came in. It was when they introduced all the other sporting bodies into the complex, other than football and cricket, that things started turning to shit. Pack of Dickheads running the community club would never give any money to the football club and it was football that made the club what it is today.
